-##Overview

+## Overview
The concat module lets you construct files from multiple ordered fragments of text.
-##Module Description
+<a id="module-description"></a>
+## Module Description
The concat module lets you gather `concat::fragment` resources from your other modules and order them into a coherent file through a single `concat` resource.
-###Beginning with concat

+### Beginning with concat
To start using concat you need to create:

+## Usage
-###Maintain a list of the major modules on a node
+### Maintain a list of the major modules on a node
To maintain an motd file that lists the modules on one of your nodes, first create a class to frame up the file:
mode => '0644'
}
- concat::fragment{ 'motd_header':
+ concat::fragment { 'motd_header':
target => $motd,
content => "\nPuppet modules on this server:\n\n",
order => '01'
# let local users add to the motd by creating a file called
# /etc/motd.local
- concat::fragment{ 'motd_local':
+ concat::fragment { 'motd_local':
target => $motd,
source => '/etc/motd.local',
order => '15'
}
# let other modules register themselves in the motd
-define motd::register($content="", $order='10') {
+define motd::register (
+ $content = "",
+ $order = '10',
+) {
if $content == "" {
$body = $name
} else {
$body = $content
}
- concat::fragment{ "motd_fragment_$name":
+ concat::fragment { "motd_fragment_$name":
target => '/etc/motd',
order => $order,
content => " -- $body\n"
class apache {
include apache::install, apache::config, apache::service

-###Defines
-* `concat`: Manages a file, compiled from one or more text fragments.
-* `concat::fragment`: Manages a fragment of text to be compiled into a file.
+See [REFERENCE.md](https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-concat/blob/master/REFERENCE.md)
-###Types
-* `concat_file`: Generates a file with content from fragments sharing a common unique tag.
-* `concat_fragment`: Manages the fragment.
-
-###Parameters
-
-####Define: `concat`
-
-All the parameters listed below are optional.
-
-#####`backup`
-
-Specifies whether (and how) to back up the destination file before overwriting it. Your value gets passed on to Puppet's [native `file` resource](https://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#file-attribute-backup) for execution. Valid options: 'true', 'false', or a string representing either a target filebucket or a filename extension beginning with ".". Default value: 'puppet'.
-
-#####`ensure`
-
-Specifies whether the destination file should exist. Setting to 'absent' tells Puppet to delete the destination file if it exists, and negates the effect of any other parameters. Valid options: 'present' and 'absent'. Default value: 'present'.
-
-#####`ensure_newline`
-
-Specifies whether to add a line break at the end of each fragment that doesn't already end in one. Valid options: 'true' and 'false'. Default value: 'false'.
-
-#####`force`
-
-Deprecated as of concat v2.0.0. Has no effect.
-
-#####`group`
-
-Specifies a permissions group for the destination file. Valid options: a string containing a group name. Default value: undefined.
-
-#####`mode`
-
-Specifies the permissions mode of the destination file. Valid options: a string containing a permission mode value in octal notation. Default value: '0644'.
-
-#####`order`
-
-Specifies a method for sorting your fragments by name within the destination file. Valid options: 'alpha' (e.g., '1, 10, 2') or 'numeric' (e.g., '1, 2, 10'). Default value: 'alpha'.
-
-You can override this setting for individual fragments by adjusting the `order` parameter in their `concat::fragment` declarations.
-
-#####`owner`
-
-Specifies the owner of the destination file. Valid options: a string containing a username. Default value: undefined.
-
-#####`path`
-
-Specifies a destination file for the combined fragments. Valid options: a string containing an absolute path. Default value: the title of your declared resource.
-
-#####`replace`
-
-Specifies whether to overwrite the destination file if it already exists. Valid options: 'true' and 'false'. Default value: 'true'.
-
-#####`validate_cmd`
-
-Specifies a validation command to apply to the destination file. Requires Puppet version 3.5 or newer. Valid options: a string to be passed to a file resource. Default value: undefined.
-
-#####`warn`
-
-Specifies whether to add a header message at the top of the destination file. Valid options: the booleans 'true' and 'false', or a string to serve as the header. Default value: 'false'.
-
-If you set 'warn' to 'true', `concat` adds the following message:
-
-~~~
-# This file is managed by Puppet. DO NOT EDIT.
-~~~
-
-####Define: `concat::fragment`

-
-#####`ensure`
-
-Deprecated as of concat v2.0.0. Has no effect.
-
-#####`order`
-
-Reorders your fragments within the destination file. Fragments that share the same order number are ordered by name. Valid options: a string (recommended) or an integer. Default value: '10'.
-
-#####`source`
-
-Specifies a file to read into the content of the fragment. **Note**: You must supply either a `content` parameter or a `source` parameter. Valid options: a string or an array, containing one or more Puppet URLs. Default value: undefined.

-###Removed functionality
+<a id="removed-functionality"></a>
+### Removed functionality
The following functionality existed in previous versions of the concat module, but was removed in version 2.0.0:
The `concat::setup` class has also been removed.
-Prior to concat version 2.0.0, if you set the `warn` parameter to a string value of 'true', 'false', 'yes', 'no', 'on', or 'off', the module translated the string to the corresponding boolean value. In concat version 2.0.0 and newer, the `warn_header` parameter treats those values the same as other strings and uses them as the content of your header message. To avoid that, pass the 'true' and 'false' values as booleans instead of strings.

+## Limitations
This module has been tested on [all PE-supported platforms](https://forge.puppetlabs.com/supported#compat-matrix), and no issues have been identified.

+## Development
+
+We are experimenting with a new tool for running acceptance tests. It's name is [puppet_litmus](https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet_litmus) this replaces beaker as the test runner. To run the acceptance tests follow the instructions [here](https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet_litmus/wiki/Tutorial:-use-Litmus-to-execute-acceptance-tests-with-a-sample-module-(MoTD)#install-the-necessary-gems-for-the-module).
