Description

I have a use case where sometimes I do not want to overwrite already existing variables of the same name. So ideally, I want to have a separate namespace for all the yaml data.
Would it be possible to add an optional prefix to all variables/structs returned? So that in the lower example, the variable would be called e.g. configxy.myvar instead of myvar?

Yaml file to test

myvar: test
myarray:

• 1
• 2

Bash version

List didn't seems to works as expected.

I used test/tesh.sh and complex_test_simple_obj_a_list is empty (created by create_variables).
But parse_yaml report element members

It cannot process https://github.com/roots/trellis/blob/master/group_vars/development/wordpress_sites.yml because the key example.com cannot be recognized.

Could you please make it work and add a test case using domain name as key?

Description

Thanks for this great function! I'm new to Bash so am not in a place to tweak the code. I was using this to import yaml text that unfortunately includes a $. This is clearly an issue for bash but I was hoping there was an adjustment to add $ or something to the regex to allow this text to come in as a variable. For example:

settings:
  user:  'myname'
  pwd:  'pa$$word$20' # not real password of course

If I run create_variables config.yml then echo $settings_pwd it results in 'pa22336word0'.

Yaml file to test

default:
  driver: 'driver_name' 
  server: 'R$word$10'
  dsn: 'abcd'
  uid: 'GRP19$name!01'
  pwd: 'pa$$word$20'  
  port: 1234
  database: 'db.name'

Description

When parsing a sequence of mappings, the parser is unable to create variables from keys that are not indented at the same level as the first key.

sample:
  - item-one:
    name: item-one-name
    
  - item-two:
      name: item-one-name

While both item-one and item-two are considered to be valid yaml, this parser is only able to parse the first variation, and ${sample__name[1]} is empty.

echo "Item 1: ${sample__name[0]}"
Item 1: item-one-name

echo "Item 2: ${sample__name[1]}"
Item 2:

Hi .
If value ends with "s" character it been cut from the result.
for example : if person_name: Jonathans
the result will be Jonathan without 's' at the end.

I would like to request a new feature or extension where a getValue function to get the value of a Property provided the Property name and YAML file.

Property can be something like Domains_Domain[1]_Name - 'underscore' separated fields' names.

Refer to the YAML file and example of what I am trying to achieve at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70101607/shell-function-to-get-value-of-a-property-from-yaml-file. I mentioned the same below as well.
