Extended Stdlib
Overview
This module provides an extra set of extensions and expanded functionality for Puppet modules beyond that which is covered by stdlib
.
Module Description
This Puppet module adds extra facts, functions, types and providers, defined resource types, tasks, and plans to Puppet. These should not overlap with the functionality provided by the stdlib
module or core Puppet. These are also likely to be overall at least slightly less useful than those provided in stdlib
.
Setup
Install the extended_stdlib
module to add the functionality to Puppet. Pluginsync will automatically ensure the functionality prior to the next catalog application.
If you are authoring a module that depends on extended_stdlib
, then be sure to specify dependencies in your metadata.json
.
Usage
These are all automatically loaded by Puppet via pluginsync.
Reference
Please see the Reference for generated documentation.
Facts
powershell_version
Returns the semantic Powershell version on a Windows system.
subnet
Returns the ipv4-based subnet for the system.
Limitations
The Ruby code is tested primarily with versions synced with Puppet 7 and 8. Compatibility with Ruby versions synced with 5 and 6 is desired, but not guaranteed. Please open an issue if an incompatibility is encountered.
Contributing
Code should pass all current tests. New features should include new tests. Adherence to Ruby and Puppet style standards is expected where not overly onerous or where the check is of dubious cost/benefit.
Please consult the GitHub Project for the current development roadmap.
