Overview

:tea: Types: Abstracted & Extracted

This module provides a set of Puppet 4.4+ compatible datatypes for use of validation in defined types and class declarations.

Module Description

The basic idea behind this module is to retire puppetlabs-stdlib's validate_XYZ() functions. Unlike validate_(), these datatypes can be verified by the parser, instead of being validated during compilation.

Installing this module will make it so that puppet auto-loads all types defined in types/

Reference

Network related types

  • type HTTPUrl -- matches http/https URLs
  • type HTTPSUrl -- matches https URLs
  • type Port -- all valid TCP/UDP ports
  • type Privilegedport -- ports which need rootly power to bind to
  • type Unprivilegedport -- ports which do not need rootly power

Filesystem types

  • type UnixPath -- paths on Unix-like operating systems

Other types

  • type AWSRegion -- valid AWS region name (eg 'us-east-1')
  • type EmailAddress -- somewhat naive email validator
  • type Syslogfacility -- valid syslog facilities: see man syslog(3) for a complete list
  • type Syslogpriority -- valid syslog priorities: see man syslog(3) for a complete list

Limitations

This module is compatible with any platform puppet 4.4+ is compatible with.
