It includes filters for common operations: base64 encoding/decoding, file path manipulation (basename, dirname, realpath), hashing (md5, sha1, checksum), JSON and YAML conversion, regex operations, and utility filters like type checking and UUID generation. A few filters with heavy Ansible dependencies (combine, get_encrypted_password, dict2items, items2dict) are excluded, and two filters (groupby, random) are prefixed with ans_ to avoid collisions with Jinja2 builtins.\n\nThe package is a thin extension layer that registers these filters as a Jinja2 extension, so you load it by passing AnsibleCoreFiltersExtension to your Environment. It depends only on Jinja2 and PyYAML, making it lightweight to add to projects that already use those libraries. However, the project has been abandoned since 2022-06-30 with no maintenance activity, so compatibility with newer Jinja2 releases is not guaranteed beyond what was tested at version 1.3.2.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need Ansible-style Jinja2 filters and can accept the GPL3 copyleft license. The package is lightweight, has low install friction, and works well for template-heavy projects. However, do not install if your project is proprietary or closed-source (GPL3 is a blocker), or if you require active maintenance and compatibility updates\u2014the project is abandoned and has not been updated since 2022-06-30. Test compatibility with your current Jinja2 version before relying on it in production."},"id":"jinja2-ansible-filters","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/jinja2-ansible-filters","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/jinja2-ansible-filters.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/jinja2-ansible-filters/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-06-30","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"jinja2-ansible-filters","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A port of Ansible's jinja2 filters without requiring ansible core."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":2061330,"position":3330,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.3.2"}
