module Puppet::Parser::Functions
  newfunction(:load_variables, :type => :statement, :doc => <<-EOS
This function will allow for loading variables from an external YAML
file and expose them for further use inside the Puppet manifest file ...

For example:

Given following content of the data.yaml file:

   ---
   host1.example.com:
     foo: bar
     baz: quux
     question: 42
   host2.example.com:
     abc: def
     this: that
     darth: vader

Then calling load_variables in Puppet manifest file as follows:

   load_variables("/etc/puppet/data.yaml", $fqdn)

Will result in addition of variables $foo, $baz and $question
for matching host name as per the variable $fqdn ...

Another example which uses per-host file:

Given following content of the file data-host1.example.com.yaml:

   ---
   foo: bar

Then when we call load_variables like this:

   load_variables("/etc/puppet/data-${fqdn}.yaml")

This will result in a variable $foo being added and ready for use.

    end

    data.each do |param, value|
      value = strinterp(value) # Evaluate any interpolated variable names ...

      setvar(param, value)
