value_to¶

The value_to definition-attribute makes it possible to send the generated value to either STDOUT or STDERR.

This can be helpful in circumstances when a quick debug reveal is required or you need to provide some kind of user response.

Example - to STDERR¶

env-alias:

  EXAMPLE_STDERR:
    name: null
    value: "This is a message that will get sent to STDERR"
    value_to: "<STDERR>"

Example - to STDOUT¶

env-alias:

  EXAMPLE_STDOUT_CONTENT:
    name: null
    exec: "date"

  EXAMPLE_STDOUT:
    name: null
    exec: 'echo "The date is ${EXAMPLE_STDOUT_CONTENT} - boom!"'
    value_to: "<STDOUT>"
