Object Creator

Overview

Expert guidance for creating Infrahub object (data) files. Objects are YAML files that populate schema nodes with actual infrastructure data -- devices, locations, organizations, modules, and more.

When to Use

• Creating new data files for infrastructure objects
• Populating devices, locations, organizations, or other schema nodes
• Setting up hierarchical data (location trees, tenant groups)
• Referencing related objects across files
• Managing component children (interfaces, modules)
• Organizing object files for correct load order

Rule Categories

Priority	Category	Prefix	Description
CRITICAL	File Format	format-	apiVersion, kind, spec structure
CRITICAL	Value Mapping	value-	Attributes, dropdowns, references
HIGH	Children	children-	Hierarchy/component nesting
MEDIUM	Range	range-	Sequential interface expansion
MEDIUM	Organization	organization-	Naming, load order, multi-doc
LOW	Patterns	patterns-	Flat lists, devices, git repos

Object File Basics

---
apiVersion: infrahub.app/v1
kind: Object
spec:
  kind: <NodeKind>          # Schema node kind (e.g., DcimDellServer)
  data:
    - <attribute>: <value>  # List of object instances

apiVersion, kind: Object, spec.kind, and spec.data are always required. Each spec block targets a single node kind.
