[ansible-project] Using dictionary keys as a list in with_items

[Mischa ter Smitten]

Thanks for the great tip!

with_items: "{{ databases.keys() }}"

also seems to work, but then you would have no access to the values :-)

Here's and example using the Jinja2's dictsort filter to turn a dictionary
into a list of (key,value) pairs which you can than iterate over with
user: service_app
pass: 'secret'
user: website_app
pass: 'secret'
user: demo1_app
pass: 'secret'
- name: setup database users
postgresql_user: name={{ item.1.user }} password={{ item.1.pass }}
sudo_user: postgres
with_items: databases|dictsort
Hope this helps.
