Variable Libraries¶

Variable Libraries store typed named variables and alternative value sets for use in ALM pipelines. Different value sets can be activated per deployment stage (dev/test/prod), letting the same pipeline run with different configurations.

Accessing a Variable Library¶

import fabias

ws = fabias.workspace("GENESIS")
lib = ws.variableLibrary("Deployment Config")
print(f"Active value set: {lib.active_value_set}")

Listing Variable Libraries¶

import fabias

ws = fabias.workspace("GENESIS")
for lib in ws.variableLibraries():
    print(f"{lib.name}: {lib.active_value_set}")

Reading Variables¶

import fabias

ws = fabias.workspace("GENESIS")
lib = ws.variableLibrary("Deployment Config")

# Iterate variables in the active value set
for var in lib.variables():
    print(f"{var.name} ({var.type}): {var.value}")

# Get a single variable value
env = lib.variable("environment").value

Setting Variables¶

import fabias

ws = fabias.workspace("GENESIS")
lib = ws.variableLibrary("Deployment Config")

lib.setVariables([
    {"name": "environment", "type": "String",  "value": "dev"},
    {"name": "maxRetries",  "type": "Integer", "value": 3},
    {"name": "enabled",     "type": "Boolean", "value": True},
])

Value Sets¶

Value sets are named groups of variable overrides — one per deployment stage.

import fabias

ws = fabias.workspace("GENESIS")
lib = ws.variableLibrary("Deployment Config")

# List value sets
for vs in lib.valueSets():
    print(vs["name"])

# Create or update a value set
lib.setValueSet("Production", {
    "environment": "prod",
    "maxRetries": "10",
    "enabled": "true"
})

# Activate a value set
lib.activateValueSet("Production")

# Delete a value set
lib.deleteValueSet("OldStaging")

ItemReference Variables¶

Reference other Fabric items by workspace + item ID:

from fabias import Variable, ItemReference

ref = ItemReference(
    workspace_id="workspace-guid",
    item_id="lakehouse-guid"
)

Variable Types¶

Type	Python value
`String`	`str`
`Integer`	`int`
`Number`	`float`
`Boolean`	`bool`
`DateTime`	ISO 8601 string
`ItemReference`	`ItemReference` object
