Module defaults support

[2bPro]

SUMMARY

Modules share parameters such as login_port, login_database, login_user, and login_password. It would be very useful if these could be specified via module defaults like so:

- name: Configure MongoDB block
  module_defaults:
  community.mongodb.all:
    login_host: "{{ config.host }}"
    login_port: "{{ config.port }}"
    login_user: "admin"
    login_password: "{{ vault_admin_password }}"
  block:
    - name: Configure roles
       community.mongodb.role:
         name: changeOwnPassword
         privileges:
           - resource:
                db: admin
                collection: ""
             actions:
                - changeOwnPassword
     - name: Configure users
       community.mongodb.user:
         name: manager
         password: "{{ vault_manager_password }}"
         roles:
           - db: admin
             role: changeOwnPassword

See community.postgresql collection as an example for enabling this.
