The 'insert' command is used to insert or move YANG list or leaf-list data into a NETCONF database. It is a high level command that utilizes the YANG 'insert' extensions to the NETCONF <edit-config> operation.
Note that, the “system_sorted” parameter is ignored. NETCONF does not require entries to be sorted by index. It only requires the order to be maintained if “ordered-by user” is configured in the YANG module. It will maintain YANG schema order so the objects will be returned in the correct order according to the YANG module.
Use the YANG 'insert' operation to add data rules in some order other than 'last'. By default 'insert' operation add a new data in the last position.
Usage
YANG Data model
list test2 {
key name;
ordered-by user;
unique b2;
leaf a1 {
type int8;
default 4;
}
leaf name {
type string {
length 1..6 {
error-app-tag leaf-a2-error;
error-message 'leaf a2 is invalid';
}
}
}
leaf b2 {
type uint32;
default 5;
}
}
list test3 {
ordered-by user;
key "string.1 uint32.1";
leaf string.1 {
type string;
}
leaf uint32.1 {
type uint32;
}
}
1) Insert using Yangcli-Pro:
Single key list insertion: user@myserver> insert /test2[name='entry2'] \ order=after \ edit-target=”[name='entry3']” Multiple keys list insertion: user@myserver> insert /test3[string.1='entry2'][uint32.1='2'] \ order=before \ edit-target=”[string.1='entry1'][uint32.1='1']”
2) Insert using the <edit-config> RPC:
<rpc xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0" message-id=""
xmlns:nc="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"
xmlns:yang="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:1">
<edit-config>
<target>
<candidate/>
</target>
<config>
<test2 xmlns="http://netconfcentral.org/ns/test"
xmlns:ncx="http://netconfcentral.org/ns/yuma-ncx"
nc:operation="insert"
yang:insert="before"
yang:key="[name='entry3']">
<name>entry2</name>
<a1>20</a1>
<b2>20</b2>
<foo>pusan</foo>
</test2>
<test3 xmlns="http://netconfcentral.org/ns/test"
xmlns:ncx="http://netconfcentral.org/ns/yuma-ncx"
nc:operation="insert"
yang:insert="before"
yang:key="[string.1='entry3'][uint32.1='3']">
<string.1>entry4</string.1>
<uint32.1>4</uint32.1>
</test3>
</config>
</edit-config>
</rpc>
3) Insert using RESTCONF YANG-PATCH edit:
PATCH http://localhost/restconf/data
Accept: application/yang-data+json
Content-Type: application/yang-patch+json
{
"ietf-yang-patch:yang-patch" : {
"patch-id" : "move-entry-patch",
"edit" : [
{
"edit-id" : "edit1",
"operation" : "move",
"target" : "/test2=key1",
"where" : "after",
"point" : "/test2=key2"
},
{
"edit-id" : "edit2",
"operation" : "insert",
"target" : "/test3",
"where" : "before",
"point" : "/test3=key1,1",
"value" : {
"test3": {
"string.1":"key6",
"uint32.1": 6
}
}
}
]
}
}
4) Insert using RESTCONF POST edit:
POST http://localhost/restconf/data?insert=after&point=/test2=test1
Accept: application/yang-data+json
Content-Type: application/yang-data+json
{
"test2": {
"a2":"t1.1",
"b2": 4,
"foo": "mandatory"
}
}
POST http://localhost/restconf/data?insert=after&point=/test3=key1,1
Accept: application/yang-data+json
Content-Type: application/yang-data+json
{
"test3": {
"string.1":"key2",
"uint32.1": 2
}
}
5) Insert using DB-API edit:
