math ¶
Module math is a Starlark module of math-related functions and constants.
⚠️ Non-Deterministic Results
The functions in this module do not guarantee bit-identical results across CPU architectures. Using one or more of these functions may produce different output on different machines.
The module defines the following functions:
(All functions accept both int and float values as arguments.)
math.ceil(x) # the ceiling of x, the smallest integer greater than or equal to x.
math.copysign(x, y) # a value with the magnitude of x and the sign of y.
math.fabs(x) # the absolute value of x as float.
math.floor(x) # the floor of x, the largest integer less than or equal to x.
math.mod(x, y) # the floating-point remainder of x/y. The magnitude of the result is less than y and its sign agrees with that of x.
math.pow(x, y) # x**y, the base-x exponential of y.
math.remainder(x, y) # the IEEE 754 floating-point remainder of x/y.
math.round(x) # the nearest integer, rounding half away from zero.
math.exp(x) # e raised to the power x, where e = 2.718281… is the base of natural logarithms.
math.sqrt(x) # the square root of x.
math.acos(x) # the arc cosine of x, in radians.
math.asin(x) # the arc sine of x, in radians.
math.atan(x) # the arc tangent of x, in radians.
math.atan2(y, x) # atan(y / x), in radians.
# The result is between -pi and pi.
# The vector in the plane from the origin to point (x, y) makes this angle with the positive X axis.
# The point of atan2() is that the signs of both inputs are known to it, so it can compute the correct
# quadrant for the angle.
# For example, atan(1) and atan2(1, 1) are both pi/4, but atan2(-1, -1) is -3*pi/4.
math.cos(x) # the cosine of x, in radians.
math.hypot(x, y) # the Euclidean norm, sqrt(x*x + y*y). This is the length of the vector from the origin to point (x, y).
math.sin(x) # the sine of x, in radians.
math.tan(x) # the tangent of x, in radians.
math.degrees(x) # Converts angle x from radians to degrees.
math.radians(x) # Converts angle x from degrees to radians.
math.acosh(x) # the inverse hyperbolic cosine of x.
math.asinh(x) # the inverse hyperbolic sine of x.
math.atanh(x) # the inverse hyperbolic tangent of x.
math.cosh(x) # the hyperbolic cosine of x.
math.sinh(x) # the hyperbolic sine of x.
math.tanh(x) # the hyperbolic tangent of x.
math.log(x, base) # the logarithm of x in the given base, or natural logarithm by default.
math.gamma(x) # the Gamma function of x.
math.e # The base of natural logarithms, approximately 2.71828.
math.pi # The ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, approximately 3.14159.
regexp ¶
load("@ytt:regexp", "regexp")
regexp.match("[a-z]+[0-9]+", "__hello123__") # True
regexp.replace("[a-z]+[0-9]+", "__hello123__", "foo") # __foo__
regexp.replace("(?i)[a-z]+[0-9]+", "__hello123__HI456__", "bye") # __bye__bye__
regexp.replace("([a-z]+)[0-9]+", "__hello123__bye123__", "$1") # __hello__bye__
regexp.replace("[a-z]+[0-9]+", "__hello123__", lambda s: str(len(s))) # __8__
# example of passing the "dot matches newline" flag and using replace to extract a single match from a multiline input string
input_str = "\\ multline string\n\nconst (\n\t// Value is what we want to scrape\n\tValue = 12\n)\n\nfunc main() {..."
regexp.replace("(?s).*Value = ([0-9]+).*", input_str, "$1") # 12
See the RE2 docs for more on regex syntax. Note that flags such as multiline mode are passed in the pattern string as in the golang regexp library.
When calling replace
you can pass either a string or a lambda function as the third parameter. When given a string, $
symbols are expanded, so that $1
expands to the first submatch. When given a lambda function, the match is directly replaced by the result of the function.
While match
and replace
are currently the only regexp verbs supported, it is possible to mimic find
by using replace
to replace all its input with a capture group (see example above).
struct ¶
url ¶
load("@ytt:url", "url")
url.path_segment_encode("part part") # "part%20part"
url.path_segment_decode("part%20part") # "part part"
url.query_param_value_encode("part part") # "part+part"
url.query_param_value_decode("part+part") # "part part"
url.query_params_encode({"x":["1"],"y":["2","3"],"z":[""]}) # "x=1&y=2&y=3&z="
url.query_params_decode("x=1&y=2&y=3;z") # (DEPRECATED) # {"x":["1"],"y":["2","3"],"z":[""]}
url.query_params_decode("x=1&y=2&y=3&z") # {"x":["1"],"y":["2","3"],"z":[""]}
u = url.parse("http://alice:secret@example.com")
u.string() # "http://alice:secret@example.com"
u.user.name # "alice"
u.user.password # "secret"
u.user.string() # "alice:secret"
u.without_user().string() # "http://example.com"
As of v0.38.0, including semicolons in query strings is deprecated behavior.
Allowing semicolons in query strings can lead to cache poisoning attacks. Authors should use ampersands (i.e. &
) exclusively to separate parameters.
version ¶
load("@ytt:version", "version")

Hashing modules ¶
md5 ¶
load("@ytt:md5", "md5")

sha256 ¶
load("@ytt:sha256", "sha256")

Serialization modules ¶
base64 ¶
load("@ytt:base64", "base64")
base64.encode("regular") # "cmVndWxhcg=="
base64.decode("cmVndWxhcg==") # "regular"
json ¶
load("@ytt:json", "json")
json.encode({"a": [1,2,3,{"c":456}], "b": "str"})
json.encode({"a": [1,2,3,{"c":456}], "b": "str"}, indent=3)
json.decode('{"a":[1,2,3,{"c":456}],"b":"str"}')
As of v0.35.0, json.encode()
with indent
argument encodes result in multi-line string.

load("@ytt:toml", "toml")
toml.encode({"a": [1,2,3,456], "b": "str"}) # 'a = [1, 2, 3, 456]\nb = "str"'
toml.encode({"metrics": {"address":"", "grpc_histogram": False}}, indent=4)
# '[metrics]\n address = ""\n grpc_histogram = false\n'
toml.decode("[plugins]\n [plugins.cgroups]\n no_prometheus = false")
# {"plugins": {"cgroups": {"no_prometheus": False}}}
yaml ¶
load("@ytt:yaml", "yaml")
