class Chef::Node::Attribute
Attribute¶ ↑
Attribute implements a nested key-value (Hash) and flat collection (Array) data structure supporting multiple levels of precedence, such that a given key may have multiple values internally, but will only return the highest precedence value when reading.
Constants
- COMPONENTS
List of the component attribute hashes, in order of precedence, low to high.
- DEFAULT_COMPONENTS
- NIL
- OVERRIDE_COMPONENTS
Attributes
return the automatic level attribute component
return the cookbook level default attribute component
return the environment level default attribute component
return the enviroment level override attribute component
return the #force_default level attribute component
return the force override level attribute component
return the “normal” level attribute component
return the cookbook level override attribute component
return the role level default attribute component
return the role level override attribute component

Debug what's going on with an attribute. args
is a path
spec to the attribute you're interested in. For example, to debug where
the value of `node[:default_interface]` is coming
from, use:
debug_value(:network, :default_interface).
The return value is an Array of Arrays. The Arrays are pairs of
`[“precedence_level”, value]`, where precedence level is the component,
such as role default, normal, etc. and value is the attribute value set at
that precedence level. If there is no value at that precedence level,
value
will be the symbol :not_present
.

Accessing merged attributes.
Note that #merged_attributes('foo', 'bar', 'baz') can be called to compute only the deep merge of node['bar’], but in practice we currently always compute all of node even if the user only requires node['bar’].

#apply_path(thing, [ “foo”, “bar”, “baz” ]) = thing[“bar”]
The path value can be nil in which case the whole component is returned.
It returns nil (does not raise an exception) if it walks off the end of an Mash/Hash/Array, it does not raise any TypeError if it attempts to apply a hash key to an Integer/String/TrueClass, and just returns nil in that case.

Deep merge all attribute levels using hash-only merging between different precidence levels (so override arrays completely replace arrays set at any default level).
The path allows for selectively deep-merging a subtree of the node object.
@param path [Array] Array of args to method chain to descend into the node object @return [attr] Deep Merged values (may be VividMash, Hash, Array, etc) from the node object

Deep merge the default attribute levels with array merging.
