Jira (PUP-7852) Simplify definition and override of constants in Object

[Henrik Lindberg (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Henrik Lindberg created an issue   Puppet / PUP-7852 Simplify definition and override of constants in Object Issue Type: New Feature Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2017/08/20 11:56 PM Priority: Normal Reporter: Henrik Lindberg Before this, a constant in an Object required a full specification of an attribute setting kind to constant, and then specifying both value and type. This is in almost all cases excessive and makes simple definition of objects long. To make constants easier to define - it should be possible to specify constants with just name and value and let the data type of the value determine the constant's data type. This example: constants => { size => 10} is equivalent to the long form: attributes => { size => { kind => constant, type => Integer, value => 10} } The two forms are interchangeable.
