Originally created by @peterbaumert on GitHub (May 15, 2023).

NetBox version

v3.5.1

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

To be able to add new Jinja filters just like Scripts/Reports, so one doesn't have to put them in configuration.py and therefore keeping this file cleaner.

Use case

The new Config Rendering feature is very useful but there are a few thing "missing" which you can add via Jinja Filters. This would make that task much easier and one would be able to store those filter in datasources as well instead of in the configuration file.

Database changes

Not sure sorry

External dependencies

No response

I do not really know what else i could add. I am not familiar with netbox development, hence i cant really tell you what would be needed.

From a UI perspective it would be exactly the same as for Scripts. Just that it will be automatically added as Jinja Filters so one does not have to "polute" the configuration.py with those methods.

In that case, please start by opening a discussion to collaborate with others to flesh out your idea into a detailed implementation plan. Your single sentence under "proposed functionality" does not constitute an actionable proposal.
