Description

With this module, you can create a Hash in your Hiera files to automatically install the corresponding packages in Puppet via the create_resources function.

Usage

You just need to include the class in your puppet code or in Hiera if you configured it :

In your Puppet code

include packages

# OR

class { packages:
}

In Hiera

site.pp:

lookup('classes', { merge => unique, default_value => [] }).include

hiera.yaml:

---
classes:
  - packages

Usage

You can change the merge behavior of the lookup, by default, no merge behavior is set and the one set in Hiera is used:

packages::merge_behavior: deep

Or:

class { packages:
  merge_behavior => deep,
}

Once you included the class, you can declare the resources like this:

packages:
    htop:
      ensure: latest
    requests:
      provider: pip3
    man:
    vim:
