Documentation

mschuchard/extended_stdlib — version 1.2.1 Aug 9th 2024

Extended Stdlib

Overview

This module provides an extra set of extensions and expanded functionality for Puppet modules beyond that which is covered by stdlib.

Module Description

This Puppet module adds extra facts, functions, types and providers, defined resource types, tasks, and plans to Puppet. These should not overlap with the functionality provided by the stdlib module or core Puppet. These are also likely to be overall at least slightly less useful than those provided in stdlib.

Setup

Install the extended_stdlib module to add the functionality to Puppet. Pluginsync will automatically ensure the functionality prior to the next catalog application.

If you are authoring a module that depends on extended_stdlib, then be sure to specify dependencies in your metadata.json.

Usage

These are all automatically loaded by Puppet via pluginsync.

Reference

Please see the Reference for generated documentation.

Facts

powershell_version

Returns the semantic Powershell version on a Windows system.

subnet

Returns the ipv4-based subnet for the system.

Limitations

The Ruby code is tested primarily with versions synced with Puppet 7 and 8. Compatibility with Ruby versions synced with 5 and 6 is desired, but not guaranteed. Please open an issue if an incompatibility is encountered.

Contributing

Code should pass all current tests. New features should include new tests. Adherence to Ruby and Puppet style standards is expected where not overly onerous or where the check is of dubious cost/benefit.

Please consult the GitHub Project for the current development roadmap.
