Constructor Details

#initialize(type, title = nil, attributes = {}) ⇒ Resource

Construct a resource from data.

Constructs a resource instance with the given ‘type` and `title`. Multiple type signatures are possible for these arguments and most will result in an expensive call to Node::Environment#known_resource_types in order to resolve `String` and `Symbol` Types to actual Ruby classes.

Parameters:

  • type (Symbol, String)

    The name of the Puppet Type, as a string or symbol. The actual Type will be looked up using Node::Environment#known_resource_types. This lookup is expensive.

  • type (String)

    The full resource name in the form of ‘“Type”`. This method of calling should only be used when `title` is `nil`.

  • type (nil)

    If a ‘nil` is passed, the title argument must be a string of the form `“Type”`.

  • type (Class)

    A class that inherits from ‘Puppet::Type`. This method of construction is much more efficient as it skips calls to Node::Environment#known_resource_types.

  • title (String, :main, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    The title of the resource. If type is ‘nil`, may also be the full resource name in the form of `“Type”`.

#to_yaml_propertiesArray<Symbol>

This method is part of a private API. You should avoid using this method if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

Explicitly list the instance variables that should be serialized when converting to YAML.

Returns:

This method is part of a private API. You should avoid using this method if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

Deprecated.

Not used by Puppet

Verify that all required arguments are either present or have been provided with defaults. Must be called after ‘set_default_parameters’. We can’t join the methods because Type#set_parameters needs specifically ordered behavior.
