Target placeholders

Target addresses may also contain placeholders, similar to source authorization subjects. Placeholders can be used to control where the messages are published to.

Instead of using one fixed target address, the target address can be made dependent of thing specific information.

The following placeholders are available:

Placeholder	Description	Example
`{{ thing:id }}`	Full ID composed of `namespace` + `:` as a separator + `name`	com.bosch:thing-42
`{{ thing:namespace }}`	Namespace (i.e. first part of an ID)	com.bosch
`{{ thing:name }}`	Name (i.e. second part of an ID )	thing-42

Placeholders supported for connection targets

A connection will send messages and events to the targets configured within the connection.

A target configuration comprises the address and the authorization.
