To avoid this situation we can use the `pillar mechanism <http://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/topics/pillar/>`_, which is designed to provide controlled access to data from the minions based on some selection rules. As pillar data could be easily integrated in the `Jinja <http://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/topics/tutorials/pillar.html>`_ templates, it is a good mechanism to store values to be used in the final rendering of state files and templates. | To avoid this situation we can use the `pillar mechanism <http://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/topics/pillar/>`_, which is designed to provide controlled access to data from the minions based on some selection rules.

There are a variety of approaches on the usage of pillar and templates as seen in the `saltstack-formulas <https://github.com/saltstack-formulas>`_' repositories. `Some <https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/nginx-formula/pull/18>`_ `developments <https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/php-formula/pull/14>`_ stress the initial purpose of pillar data into a storage for most of the possible variables for a determined system configuration. This, in my opinion, is shifting too much load from the original template files approach. Adding up some `non-trivial Jinja <https://github.com/spsoit/nginx-formula/blob/81de880fe0276dd9488ffa15bc78944c0fc2b919/nginx/ng/files/nginx.conf>`_ code as essential part of composing the state file definitely makes SaltStack state files (hence formulas) more difficult to read. The extreme of this approach is that we could end up with a new render mechanism, implemented in Jinja, storing everything needed in pillar data to compose configurations. Additionally, we are establishing a strong dependency with the Jinja renderer. | |||||

In opposition to the *put the code in file_roots and the data in pillars* approach, there is the *pillar as a store for a set of key-values* approach. A full-blown configuration file abstracted in pillar and jinja is complicated to develop, understand and maintain. I think a better and simpler approach is to keep a configuration file templated using just a basic (non-extensive but extensible) set of pillar values. | In opposition to the *put the code in file_roots and the data in pillars* approach, there is the *pillar as a store for a set of key-values* approach.
