How can I pass variable to ansible playbook in the command line?

Question

I\'m new to ansible and wonder how to do so as the following didn\'t work

ansible-playbook -i \'10.0.0.1,\' yada-yada.yml --tags \'loaddata\' django_fixtures=\"t

This also worked for me if you want to use shell environment variables:

ansible-playbook -i "localhost," ldap.yaml --extra-vars="LDAP_HOST={{ lookup('env', 'LDAP_HOST') }} clustername=mycluster env=dev LDAP_USERNAME={{ lookup('env', 'LDAP_USERNAME') }} LDAP_PASSWORD={{ lookup('env', 'LDAP_PASSWORD') }}"
