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

Additional for all answers here, there is lot of situations when you need to create more then one directory so it is a good idea to use loops instead creating separate task for each directory.

- name: Creates directory
  file:
    path: "{{ item }}"
    state: directory
  with_items:
  - /srv/www
  - /dir/foo
  - /dir/bar
