How to pass argument to dict function in salt

I need to use

pip.installed

in salt and pass the argument

env_vars

with a few parameters that must eventually be translated into a python dictionary. It's ok if there is one parameter and the argument was expecting an argument of type other than dictionary i, then he could pass it like this:

pip.installed:
  - env_vars: my_var

But I need to pass a dict and im not sure how.

Should there be a construction like:

pip.installed:
  - env_vars:
    - my_var1: var_value
    - my_var2: var_value2

And how am I supposed to check that my configuration actually displays the correct form?

Dictionaries don't have dashes, just list items.

pip.installed:
  - env_vars:
      my_var1: var_value
      my_var2: var_value2

This answer is incorrect, Salt will issue a warning.

pip.installed:
  - env_vars:
    my_var1: var_value
    my_var2: var_value2

Warnings: 'my_var2' and 'my_var1' are invalid keyword arguments for
          'pip.installed'. If you were trying to pass additional data to be
          used in a template context, please populate 'context' with 'key:
          value' pairs. Your approach will work until Salt Carbon is out.
          Please update your state files.


Variables should be nested at another level like this:

pip.installed:
  - env_vars:
      my_var1: var_value
      my_var2: var_value2
