Puppet::Parser::Functions::newfunction( :reverse_each, :type => :rvalue, :arity => -1, :doc => <<-DOC Reverses the order of the elements of something that is iterable and optionally runs a [lambda](https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/lang_lambdas.html) for each element. This function takes one to two arguments: 1. An `Iterable` that the function will iterate over. 2. An optional lambda, which the function calls for each element in the first argument. It must request one parameter. **Example:** Using the `reverse_each` function ```puppet $data.reverse_each |$parameter| { } ``` or ```puppet $reverse_data = $data.reverse_each ``` or ```puppet reverse_each($data) |$parameter| { } ``` or ```puppet $reverse_data = reverse_each($data) ``` When no second argument is present, Puppet returns an `Iterable` that represents the reverse order of its first argument. This allows methods on `Iterable` to be chained. When a lamdba is given as the second argument, Puppet iterates the first argument in reverse order and passes each value in turn to the lambda, then returns `undef`. **Example:** Using the `reverse_each` function with an array and a one-parameter lambda ``` puppet # Puppet will log a notice for each of the three items # in $data in reverse order. $data = [1,2,3] $data.reverse_each |$item| { notice($item) } ``` When no second argument is present, Puppet returns a new `Iterable` which allows it to be directly chained into another function that takes an `Iterable` as an argument. **Example:** Using the `reverse_each` function chained with a `map` function. ```puppet # For the array $data, return an array containing each # value multiplied by 10 in reverse order $data = [1,2,3] $transformed_data = $data.reverse_each.map |$item| { $item * 10 } # $transformed_data is set to [30,20,10] ``` **Example:** Using `reverse_each` function chained with a `map` in alternative syntax ```puppet # For the array $data, return an array containing each # value multiplied by 10 in reverse order $data = [1,2,3] $transformed_data = map(reverse_each($data)) |$item| { $item * 10 } # $transformed_data is set to [30,20,10] ``` * Since 4.4.0 DOC ) do |args| Puppet::Parser::Functions::Error.is4x('reverse_each') end
