Hi Eirik,
I think I understand what you want to do - set some sensible defaults, and just
get the most specific or unique parameters from Hiera.
This article by RIP helped me a lot to understand how to do that:

Hi,
Sorry for hijacking this thread, but it caught my interest.
My scenario is that I'd like to re-use the title of an nginx server instance
in, say, the log file for that server instance. However, since I don't want to
touch the nginx module itself, it seems I have to wrap its server class
I like Henrik’s solution better than mine.

String $base_dir,
Optional[String] $conf_dir = "${base_dir}/conf"
) {
}
I tested it as well:
class myclass(
String $base_dir,

) {
You need to do like this:
class myClass (
String $base_dir,
Optional[String] $conf_dir,
) {
if $myClass::conf_dir == undef {
$myClass::actual_conf_dir = "$myClass::base_dir/conf”
} else {
$myClass::actual_conf_dir = $myClass::conf_dir
}
… and then use
I'd like to set default values for parameters that will be passed to epp
templates. However, the default value is based on another parameter. I
understand that variables are immutable but this is a parameter that
shouldn't be touched unless it wasn't set.
Here is an example construct with a
