It is difficult to use existance of keys in a hash
as a boolean condition in Puppet (see #8705)
This function provides a working solution until
the underlying issue in Puppet can be resolved.

* ticket/master/8585_load_yaml_function:
(#8575) Add loadyaml() function
|
|
This change adds a loadyaml() puppet function that takes a path to a
YAML data file and returns the contents as a Puppet variable. There is
currently no validation of the contents of the file.
This commit is intentionally lacking unit tests because of time
constraints.

This commit adds a native type that can check if
a line exists and append it to a file.
This use case seems common enough to warrant its
inclusion into stdlib.

This function validates all passed variables are hashes. This is
similar to the validate_bool function and is copied from it.

This isn't directly related to #8010, but rather indirectly fills the
need to allow the end user to configure where data values are looked up.
This allows the namespace to be passed as a class parameter. A module
may then quickly and easily look up data from the user-defined
namespace.

With Puppet 2.6.x we do not have a way to specify containment
relationships. In the use case of class ntp { } declaring
ntp::{package,config,service} classes, the ntp class itself should allow
the user to specify before and require relationships to the main ntp
class.
The anchor resource type allows module authors to close the loop on
classes composing the main top level module. For example:
class ntp {
class { 'ntp::package': }
-> class { 'ntp::config': }
-> class { 'ntp::service': }
# These two resources "anchor" the composed classes
# such that the end user may use "require" and "before"
# relationships with Class['ntp']
anchor { 'ntp::begin': } -> class { 'ntp::package': }
class { 'ntp::service': } -> anchor { 'ntp::end': }
}
Using this pattern, the module user may then simply declare relationships to
the ntp class as they expect:
class { 'ntp': } -> class { 'mcollective': }
# OR
class { 'mcollective': } -> class { 'ntp': }

This function aborts catalog compilation if any of the passed
values are not true or false. Note, this catches the string
values of true and false correct and will abort catalog
compilation if they are not boolean values.

While developing Puppet Modules with class parameters, data from the
user should be validated as per the Style Guide. Puppet should fail
early and hard in the situation of invalid data being passed into the
module.
This function provides a more concise method to the alternative of using
if statements in the Puppet manifests.
