Puppet newbie question about facts and config files

[RG]

I am trying to write my first puppet module.

I need to be able to pull a value from a custom fact and write a value in a config file based on a value in the fact.

Can I do and "if-then" statement  like in bash?

Thanks for any guidance.

Yes! See https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/5.0/lang_conditional.html for the details. The first example on that page even uses facts to decide.

Cheers, David

 

Thanks for any guidance.
