Configuration Reference

Complete reference for GenDI YAML configuration files.

Schema Validation

Add this line at the top of your YAML files for editor autocomplete and validation:

# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gendi-org/gendi/master/gendi.schema.json

Supported editors:

• VS Code: Install YAML extension
• IntelliJ IDEA: Built-in YAML support
• Vim/Neovim: Use yaml-language-server

For local schema validation:

# yaml-language-server: $schema=./gendi.schema.json

Root Structure

A config file has four optional top-level keys and nothing else:

imports: []      # other configs to load and merge before this file
parameters: {}   # scalar defaults, injected as %name%
tags: {}         # tag declarations
services: {}     # service definitions

Each of those keys has its own page: Parameters, Services, Tags and Imports. How an individual argument is spelled is covered in Arguments.
