module: set_fact
short_description: Set host facts from a task
description:
    - This module allows setting new variables.  Variables are set on a host-by-host basis just like facts discovered by the setup module.
    - These variables will be available to subsequent plays during an ansible-playbook run, but will not be saved across executions even if you use
      a fact cache.
    - Per the standard Ansible variable precedence rules, many other types of variables have a higher priority, so this value may be overridden.
      See U(http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/playbooks_variables.html#variable-precedence-where-should-i-put-a-variable) for more information.
options:
  key_value:
    description:
      - The C(set_fact) module takes key=value pairs as variables to set
        in the playbook scope. Or alternatively, accepts complex arguments
        using the C(args:) statement.
    required: true
    default: null
version_added: "1.2"
notes:
    - "The `var=value` notation can only create strings or booleans.
      If you want to create lists/arrays or dictionary/hashes use `var: [val1, val2]`"

EXAMPLES = '''
# Example setting host facts using key=value pairs, note that this always creates strings or booleans
- set_fact: one_fact="something" other_fact="{{ local_var }}"

# Example setting host facts using complex arguments
- set_fact:
     one_fact: something
     other_fact: "{{ local_var * 2 }}"
     another_fact: "{{ some_registered_var.results | map(attribute='ansible_facts.some_fact') | list }}"

# As of 1.8, Ansible will convert boolean strings ('true', 'false', 'yes', 'no')
# to proper boolean values when using the key=value syntax, however it is still
# recommended that booleans be set using the complex argument style:
- set_fact:
    one_fact: true
    other_fact: false
