VCL tables are created using the table declaration. Table declarations can also be generated automatically using dictionaries, which are writable via the Fastly API. The content of the dictionary is transformed into a table declaration and prepended to your service's VCL.

These functions provide the ability to consult a table and look up items in it at runtime from within a VCL service.

• table.lookup — Find an item from a table of STRING values
• table.lookup_acl — Find an item from a table of ACL values
• table.lookup_backend — Find an item from a table of BACKEND values
• table.lookup_bool — Find an item from a table of BOOL values
• table.lookup_float — Find an item from a table of FLOAT values
• table.lookup_integer — Find an item from a table of INTEGER values
• table.lookup_ip — Find an item from a table of IP values
• table.lookup_regex — Find an item from a table of REGEX values
