dict_pick

The dict_pick function creates a new dictionary containing only the specified keys from the original dictionary.

Syntax

{{ dict_pick dictionary "key1" "key2" ... }}

Example

{{ $user := dict_create "username" "alice" "password" "secret" "email" "[email protected]" "role" "admin" "lastLogin" "2025-12-25" }}
{{ $publicData := dict_pick $user "username" "email" "role" }}

Public user data:
{{ range $key, $value := $publicData }}
  {{ $key }}: {{ $value }}
{{ end }}

Output:

Public user data:

  username: alice

  email: [email protected]

  role: admin

Notes

• Creates a new dictionary; the original is unchanged
• If a specified key doesn't exist in the original dictionary, it's silently ignored
• Useful for filtering sensitive data or creating subsets of larger dictionaries
• The opposite of dict_omit
