  • default: A default value to return if the string argument cannot be deserialized (optional)

Usage:

{% set my_yml_str -%}

dogs:
- good
- bad

{%- endset %}

{% set my_dict = fromyaml(my_yml_str) %}

{% do log(my_dict['dogs'], info=true) %}
-- ["good", "bad"]

{% do my_dict['dogs'].pop() %}
{% do log(my_dict['dogs'], info=true) %}
-- ["good"]
