concat

During template compilation, the concat function is often used. For example, you may obtain an IP address from the VM result and a listening port number from the APP result, and then print the final and intuitive HTTP access address in the output of the template.

The concat function is a built-in function and used to convert descriptions into strings and concatenate them. It can be embedded with the get_attribute and get_input functions.

In the current version, concat can only be defined in the outputs section. It cannot be defined in the node_templates section or embedded with the get_attribute function.

Syntax

concat: [args, {get_attribute:[...]}, {get_input: [...]} ]

Parameters
