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>
data:
- <attribute>: <value>
apiVersion, kind: Object, spec.kind, and spec.data
are always required. Each spec block targets a single
node kind.
