Jira (PUP-6174) "Copy" variables from a class in the current scope

[Francois Lafont (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Francois Lafont created an issue   Puppet / PUP-6174 "Copy" variables from a class in the current scope Issue Type: Improvement Assignee: Unassigned Components: Language Created: 2016/04/13 7:04 PM Priority: Normal Reporter: Francois Lafont It could be nice to be able to "copy" (sorry I don't find the correct _expression_) some variables from a class in the current scope with something like that: # We assume that $var1 and $var2 are defined in the class # classfoo::params (as parameters _or_ in its body). [ $var1, $var2 ] = Class['Classfoo::Params'] In this case, It would be similar to the syntax: [ $a, $b ] = { "a" => "value1", "b" => "value2, "c" => "value3" } Here some points: The code should fail if $var1 or var2 are not defined in the class classfoo::params (in its body or as parameters of the class). It could be possible to "import" only a part of the variables from classfoo::params. Point that is not clear for me: what should be the behavior of the code if the class classfoo::params is not yet included in the catalog at this moment? A fail?
