OK, this is a very simple and quick one.
I was looking for a simple example of how to iterate through an array in a Puppet module. I basically needed an example of a “for loop” inside a Puppet module that I could, as someone who is not exactly fluent in Ruby, could modify to fit my needs.
I settled on the format that you see below.
The “define” code block is basically the work that we want the Puppet module to do. In this case, it’s create a file in /tmp. Think of this line as pretty much just a placeholder for more complex code.
The “class” code block is where we setup our array of items for the module to “loop” through.
# # # Test Module # # define myarray_config { notify { "Item ${name}": } file {"/tmp/$name": ensure => present, mode => 0777, } } class test-module { $array = [ 'item1', 'item2', 'item3' ] myarray_config { $array: } }
Now add the following code to your site.pp to make this module part of your site manifest.
include test-module
