custom type and default values

[Johan De Wit]

Hi,

Is it possible to assign default values to some custom types property,
depending on some facts ?

I'm thinking to assign default values to eg a configdir property of my
type depending on the osfamily fact.

eg on debian configdir defaults to /etc/ldap/slapd.d,
on redhat configdir defaults to /etc/openldap/slapd.d

Grts

Maybe something along these lines in the resource provider (pseudocode):

def path
  resource[:path] ||

  case Facter.value :osfamily
  when 'RedHat'
     '/etc/openldap/slapd.d'
  when 'Debian'
     '/etc/ldap/slapd.d'
  end
end
