Overview

Create simple facts within receipts.

Module Description

This module provides a new type called fact. With this type simple key = value facts can be created on the fly without any knowledge about custom facts.

Setup

Installing the module is sufficient. There is no need to include the module.

Usage

To create a custom fact use the fact type as follows:

fact { "factname": value => "factvalue" }

Reference

This module only depends on stdlib.

[ensure]

Whether the fact is to be present or not. Possible values are:

  • present will create the fact file.
  • absent will make sure the fact file doesn't exist.

Defaults to present.

[key]

The name of the fact. This has to be a character, number or underscore. Defaults to the title.

[value]

The value of the fact. No default set.

Limitations

Should be working with all linux, bds and mac distributions that come with an /etc directory.
