I'd like to suggest that create_resources accepts a third (optional) parameter
$defaults. $defaults should be a hash and would be merged with the individual
resource parameters before creating the resource, allowing for expressions like
define test($prefix, $message) {
notify { "$prefix $message": }
}
$hash = {
"one" => { message => "first" },
"two" => { message => "second" }
}
$default = { prefix => "test" }
create_resources("test", $hash, $default)
To give a real-life example: When you have a definition to manage a user
(account, homedir, ssh keys, ...), it is handy to write
my_user { "name":
...
sshkeys => {
"first-name" => { key => ..., type => ... },
"second-name" => { key => ..., type => ...}
}
}
In the my_user definition, <del>there is no</del> I don't see a way to
create_resources("ssh_authorized_key", $sshkeys), as the ssh_authorized_key
needs the user $name.
I will suggest a patch (pull request?) shortly.
