Is it possible to have ifdef kind of feature in yang so that, only if the feature is enabled, all the related leafs/lists gets compiled. Can you please suggest way to achieve this.
Yes, there is a if-feature
option, which can be used to disable/enable parts of the data model. It can be
seen as #ifdef
. Features have to be defined in the yang.
See confdc
option -F
. See feature
and if-feature
description in yang RFC https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6020#page-102
There is no #ifndef
variant (you can define second feature meaning not
) and if-feature
cannot be used for some statments (e.g. import
, etc.). For such cases it is possible to use tool to generate yang
during build time, e.g. yangbuilder
.
