values_from_glob

On this page

Description:

This key defines globs that filter which files CloudCannon should use for Structure value configuration.

Values in this array are relative to the root of your repository (i.e., /, not the value of source) and must end in the file extension .cloudcannon.structure-value.yml (note the singular form of "value").

You can use this key anywhere you would use the _structures.*.values key.

Please see our documentation on structures_from_glob for defining a Structure in a split Configuration File.

This key has no default.
