Creating a shared folder in windows using ansible playbook

I'm trying to create an ansible playbook to create a shared folder in windows. So I want to get the target windows hostname automatically while executing the playbook and create the folder as filedownload path, I'm struggle with getting the hostname automatically during folder creation.

---
# creating share_folder for file download

- name: create share folder for file download
  win_share: 
    name: fileFileDownloadPath
    description: share folder for file download
    path: C:\(target windows hostname should come here)\{{FileDownloadPath}}
    full: Administrator

You can use ansible_hostname or inventory_hostname fact

path: C:\{{ansible_hostname }}\{{FileDownloadPath}}
or 
path: C:\{{inventory_hostname }}\{{FileDownloadPath}}
