| # Emit Values | |
| By default all top-level fields are emitted when evaluating a configuration. | |
| CUE files may define a top-level value that is emitted instead. | |
| Values within the emit value may refer to fields defined outside of it. | |
| Emit values allow CUE configurations, like JSON, | |
| to define any type, instead of just structs, while keeping the common case | |
| of defining structs light. | |
| <!-- CUE editor --> | |
| ``` | |
| { | |
| a: A | |
| b: B | |
| } | |
| A: 1 | |
| B: 2 | |
| ``` | |
| <!-- result --> | |
| ``` | |
| a: 1 | |
| b: 2 | |
| ``` |
