Write variable to a file in Ansible

Question

I am pulling JSON via the URI module and want to write the received content out to a file. I am able to get the content and output it to the debugger so I know the content

Answer 1

Unless you are writing very small files, you should probably use templates.

Example:

- name: copy upstart script
  template: 
    src: myCompany-service.conf.j2 
    dest: "/etc/init/myCompany-service.conf"
