How to define port range in nftables

Question

I want to open a range of TCP ports in nftables on my servers.

Normally, in netfilter/iptables I can write the rule like this

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp 1000:2000 -j ACCEPT

I tried to write in the same way in /etc/nftables.conf

tcp dport {1000:2000} accept

but nft reports

/etc/nftables.conf:24:15-24: Error: mapping outside of map context
     tcp dport {1000:2000} accept
               ^^^^^^^^^^

Solution

A simple dash without braces should do the trick:

tcp dport 1000-2000 accept

More examples of ranges and sets can be found in the official wiki wiki.nftables.org Intervals
