# hiera.yaml

defaults:
hierarchy:
  - name: "Per-node data (yaml version)"
    path: "nodes/%{::trusted.certname}.yaml"
  - name: "Per-role data (yaml version)"
    mapped_paths: [roles, var, "roles/%{var}.yaml"]
# manifests/site.pp
node default {
  lookup('classes', Array[String[1]], 'unique', []).include
}

Add role names into hiera.

# %{::trusted.certname}.yaml
---
classes:
  - fakts

fakts::static:
  roles:
