Macros

...

We can introduce macro syntax that can be used in plugin configs that the Hydrator app will substitute before any plugin code is run. For example:

Syntax


Code Block
Expanded Syntax : 
${macro-type(macro)}
 
Shorthand notation:
${macro}
 
Example Usage: 
${runtime(hostname)) - get hostname from runtime arguments
${token(hostname)) - get hostname from workflow token
${secure(access_key)) - get access key from secure store 
${function_time(time_format)) - apply time function on the time_format provided and use the value. 
 
The Default (short-hand) usage will read from runtime arguments, having an expanded notation gives user option for using more macro types.
Examples :
ipConfig : ${hostname}:${port}
JDBC connection string : jdbc:{jdbc-plugin}://{hostname}:{sql-port}/{db-name}
