I got output from running ansible and as a list of values. Now What I want it to slice this list [:10] or something which gives me first 10 values or last values.

 - name: Debug sort
      
       debug: msg="{{ jsondata.data | sort(attribute='time-created') | map(attribute='id') list  }}"
       vars: 
        query1: '"time-created"'
        query2: 'id'    
        query3: 'data[*].id'

I just want to slice the list from start or end, let's say I want 10 values from start or 20 values from last item of the list. Is there is filter I can add in debug here ?

Also, where I can get more filters/or this jinja2 documentation. I am finding all over different places and not able to find at one.

Solution

Create the list

ids: "{{ jsondata.data|sort(attribute='time-created')|
                       map(attribute='id')|
                       list }}"

Then slice the list. For example, the first 10 values and last 20 values

ids_first_10: "{{ ids[:10] }}"
ids_last_20: "{{ ids[20:] }}"

^{Example of a complete playbook for testing
shell> cat pb.yml
- hosts: localhost

vars:

jsondata: "{{ out.stdout|from_yaml }}"
ids: "{{ jsondata.data|sort(attribute='time-created')|
map(attribute='id')|
list }}"
ids_first_10: "{{ ids[:10] }}"
ids_last_20: "{{ ids[20:] }}"

tasks:

- name: Create file data.json
copy:
dest: /tmp/data.json
content: "{{ content|from_yaml|to_json }}"
vars:
content: |
data:
{% for id in query('sequence', 'count=50') %}
- time-created: today
id: {{ id }}
{% endfor %}
when: create_data|d(false)|bool

- command: cat /tmp/data.json
register: out

- debug:
var: ids_first_10|to_yaml

Create the file for the first time
shell> ansible-playbook pb.yml -e create_data=true

Then, test the playbook
shell> ansible-playbook pb.yml

Example by @Harry from the comment below will display all but the first 5 values. The suggestions below would improve the code:

The variables query* are redundant. Delete them.

Putting ids into the task's vars is not very practical. The such variable will be defined in this task only. You'll have to calculate it again if needed. Instead, put it into the play's vars or any other place as convenient.

- name: Debug sort
debug:
msg: "{{ ids[5:] }}"
vars:
query1: '"time-created"'
query2: 'id'
query3: 'data[*].id'
ids: "{{ jsondata.data|sort(attribute='time-created')|map(attribute='id')|list }}"}
