Description

Hey,

It would be awesome if we could do something like:

if "bla" in $array {
  # do something... 
}

It would allow for conditions in defined types for instance.

Fix #3871 – Add the ‘in’ operator

This operator allows to find if the left operand is in the right one. The left operand must be resort to a string, but the right operand can be: * a string * an array * a hash (the search is done on the keys)

This syntax can be used in any place where an expression is supported.

Syntax: $eatme = ‘eat’ if $eatme in [‘ate’, ‘eat’] { … }

$value = ‘beat generation’ if ‘eat’ in $value { notice(“on the road”) }

Brice was already planning on doing this, I believe. That’s what he told me just before puppetcamp, anyway.

I’m comfortable with this, or some form of it.

would it be insane to make the “in” operator work on strings and arrays?

if "ate" in "grateful" {

}

if "ate" in ["ate", "eat"] {

}
