Puppet module to allow for files to be created recursively from a folder of templates

The benefit here is that you no longer need to define file resources for each and every template file

This should help to substantially shorten manifests that include lots of template files

recursive_directory {'some_unique_title':
      source_dir => 'custom_module/source_dir',
      dest_dir   => '/tmp',
      file_mode  => '0644',
      dir_mode   => '0700',
      owner      => 'root',
      group      => 'root'
}

This will copy all files from <module_path>custom_module/templates/source_dir folder and interpolate variables the same as when using the template() function inside of the manifest itself and put them into /tmp

source_dir

The module_name followed by a subfolder inside of <module_name>/templates If source_dir is simply the modulename, recursive_directory will interpolate and create file resources for all files in <module_name>
required: true

dest_dir

The fully qualified path on the client system where the interpolated templates and files should be created
required: true

file_mode

The file mode for all of the files
required: false
defaut: 0600

dir_mode

The file mode for all of the directories that get created by the module required: false
defaut: 0700

owner

The owner of the file
required: false
default: 'nobody'

group

The owner of the file
required: false
default: 'nobody'
