Method: ChefAPI::Resource::DataBag.from_file

Defined in:
lib/chef-api/resources/data_bag.rb

.from_file(path, name = File.basename(path)) ⇒ Array<DataBagItem>

Load the data bag from a collection of JSON files on disk. Just like knife, the basename of the folder is assumed to be the name of the data bag and all containing items a proper JSON data bag.

This will load all items in the data bag, returning an array of those items. To load an individual data bag item, see ChefAPI::Resource::DataBagItem.from_file.

**This method does NOT return an instance of a ChefAPI::Resource::DataBag!**

Parameters:

  • path (String) —

    the path to the data bag folder on disk

  • name (String) (defaults to: File.basename(path)) —

    the name of the data bag

Returns:
