Defined in:
vendor_modules/stdlib/lib/puppet/parser/functions/dig44.rb
Function type:

Summary

Overview

dig44() ⇒ String, Any

Key can contain slashes to describe path components. The function will go down the structure and try to extract the required value.

“` $data = {

'a' => {
  'b' => [
    'b1',
    'b2',
    'b3',
  ]
}

}

$value = dig44($data, ['a', 'b', 2]) # $value = 'b3'

# with all possible options $value = dig44($data, ['a', 'b', 2], 'not_found') # $value = 'b3'

# using the default value $value = dig44($data, ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'], 'not_found') # $value = 'not_found' “`
