Method: Puppet::Property.array_matching

Defined in:
lib/puppet/property.rb

.array_matching ⇒ Symbol

Note:

The semantics of these modes are implemented by the method #insync?. That method is the default implementation and it has a backwards compatible behavior that imposes additional constraints on what constitutes a positive match. A derived property may override that method.

The ‘is` vs. `should` array matching mode; `:first`, or `:all`.

  • ‘:first` This is primarily used for single value properties. When matched against an array of values a match is true if the `is` value matches any of the values in the `should` array. When the `is` value is also an array, the matching is performed against the entire array as the `is` value.

  • ‘:all` : This is primarily used for multi-valued properties. When matched against an array of

    `should` values, the size of `is` and `should` must be the same, and all values in `is` must match
a value in `should`.

Returns:

  • (Symbol) —

    (:first) the mode in which matching is performed
