You want Puppet to do automatic data lookup for the class ‘deftype_users_test’
parameter.
In this case the hiera key has to follow naming convention:
<classname>::<parametername>
in your case:
deftyp_users_test::user list:
‘jill’:
uid: 1000
‘jack’:
uid: 1001
Within your puppet class you iterate over the hash:
class deftype_users_test (
Hash $userlist
){
$userlist.each | String $key, Hash $value| {
notify { “User with name: ${key} and hid ${value[uid]}”: }
}
}
