How to create a directory using Ansible

Question

How do you create a directory www at /srv on a Debian-based system using an Ansible playbook?

Answer 1

Directory can be created using file module only, as directory is nothing but a file.

# create a directory if it doesn't exist
- file:
    path: /etc/some_directory
    state: directory
    mode: 0755
    owner: foo
    group: foo
