TemplateVariableInfo
TemplateVariableInfo
Encapsulates template variables, that is, variables that can be referenced by strings like$(VARIABLE)
in BUILD files and expanded by ctx.expand_make_variables
and implicitly in certain attributes of built-in rules.TemplateVariableInfo
can be created by calling its eponymous constructor with a string-to-string dict as an argument that specifies the variables provided.
Example: platform_common.TemplateVariableInfo({'FOO': 'bar'})
to_json
string TemplateVariableInfo.to_json()Deprecated. This API is deprecated and will be removed soon. Please do not depend on it. It is disabled with
---incompatible_struct_has_no_methods
. Use this flag to verify your code is compatible with its imminent removal. Creates a JSON string from the struct parameter. This method only works if all struct elements (recursively) are strings, ints, booleans, other structs, a list of these types or a dictionary with string keys and values of these types. Quotes and new lines in strings are escaped. Examples:
struct(key=123).to_json() # {"key":123} struct(key=True).to_json() # {"key":true} struct(key=[1, 2, 3]).to_json() # {"key":[1,2,3]} struct(key='text').to_json() # {"key":"text"} struct(key=struct(inner_key='text')).to_json() # {"key":{"inner_key":"text"}} struct(key=[struct(inner_key=1), struct(inner_key=2)]).to_json() # {"key":[{"inner_key":1},{"inner_key":2}]} struct(key=struct(inner_key=struct(inner_inner_key='text'))).to_json() # {"key":{"inner_key":{"inner_inner_key":"text"}}}.
Deprecated: instead, use json.encode(x) or json.encode_indent(x), which work for values other than structs and do not pollute the struct field namespace.
to_proto
string TemplateVariableInfo.to_proto()Deprecated. This API is deprecated and will be removed soon. Please do not depend on it. It is disabled with
---incompatible_struct_has_no_methods
. Use this flag to verify your code is compatible with its imminent removal. Creates a text message from the struct parameter. This method only works if all struct elements (recursively) are strings, ints, booleans, other structs or dicts or lists of these types. Quotes and new lines in strings are escaped. Struct keys are iterated in the sorted order. Examples:
struct(key=123).to_proto() # key: 123 struct(key=True).to_proto() # key: true struct(key=[1, 2, 3]).to_proto() # key: 1 # key: 2 # key: 3 struct(key='text').to_proto() # key: "text" struct(key=struct(inner_key='text')).to_proto() # key { # inner_key: "text" # } struct(key=[struct(inner_key=1), struct(inner_key=2)]).to_proto() # key { # inner_key: 1 # } # key { # inner_key: 2 # } struct(key=struct(inner_key=struct(inner_inner_key='text'))).to_proto() # key { # inner_key { # inner_inner_key: "text" # } # } struct(foo={4: 3, 2: 1}).to_proto() # foo: { # key: 4 # value: 3 # } # foo: { # key: 2 # value: 1 # }
Deprecated: use proto.encode_text(x) instead.
