Let's say there is an hiera hash:
foo::bar:
key1: 'value1'
key2: 'value2'
Is there any possibility to lookup the value of key1
directly with the lookup function?
I thought of something like:
class myclass (
String $value1 = lookup('foo::bar::key1'),
) {
...
}
The only way I could solve this, is to lookup the Hash and acces the value later with hash['key1']
, but maybe there is a more clean way to do this.
This is now possible in puppet (v6 and later)! You use dot notation
lookup('foo::bar.key1')
See the puppet documentation here: https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/hiera_automatic.html#access_hash_array-elements_keysubkey_notation
