Process values in template, alias filter

The need is to process LDAP values while rendering role or grant parameters. This would looks like:

- role:
    name: '{cn.slugify()}'

The trick is to subclass string values with a extended class implementing various filter.

Filters idea

• upper, lower -> natives.
• slugify : escape for Posgres native.

Tasks

• Implementation
• Documentation

How could be multiple filters applied at once?

Filters are chainable: {cn.filter0().filter1()}. I could even manage to not require () with a bit of magic.

Let’s wait for some more feedback on this. Maybe a cookbook section on this subject would help.

I’m closing, post processing in ldap2pg what can’t be done in pg_hba is useless. Thanks for the issue.
