How to get key from map

Question

I'm working on go template. Having some map in . I know how to get the value, as long as I know the key.

"Map value: {{ printf "%s" .key1 }}"

How to get key name from inside the template? I would expect maybe something like

"Map key: {{ printf "%s" (keys .)[0] }}"

Answer 1

As @Adrian commented:

{{ range $key, $val := . }}
key: {{ $key }}; value: {{ $val }}
{{ end }}

But it was hard to figure it out just from range documentation

Answer 2

Since the question is tagged with consul-template... the syntax for Consul/Vault templates is (given .Data is the map):

{{ index .Data "complex.key.name" }}

This is useful, when the the key name is complex (say contains dots) and {{ .Data.complex.key.name }} is interpreted as accessing nested fields.
