Feature #1339: Convert the Fact definition interface to rely on arguments 
instead of blocks
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/1339

Author: Luke Kanies
Status: Duplicate
Priority: Normal

Category: library

Patch: None

Branch: 


The current Facter interface relies on methods called inside a block to 
configure the fact:
<pre>
Facter.add("ipaddress") do
  setldapname "iphostnumber"
  setcode { ... }
end
</pre>
All of the configuration you can do, though, is setting attributes, so it would 
make more sense to switch the interface to use arguments, and then just use the 
block to determine the fact value:
<pre>
Facter.add("ipaddress", :ldapname => "iphostnumber") do
  ...actual code...
end
</pre>
This would clearly require some kind of compatibility interface.  It would make 
sense to have an interface argument that defaults to the existing interface, 
and then throw a warning if that interface is used:
<pre>
Facter.add("ipaddress", :ldapname => "iphostnumber", :api => 2) do
  ...actual code...
end
</pre>
