# Call a [lambda](https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/latest/reference/lang_lambdas.html) # with the given arguments and return the result. Since a lambda's scope is # [local](https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/lang_lambdas.html#lambda-scope) # to the lambda, you can use the `with` function to create private blocks of code within a # class using variables whose values cannot be accessed outside of the lambda. # # @example Using `with` # # ~~~ puppet # # Concatenate three strings into a single string formatted as a list. # $fruit = with("apples", "oranges", "bananas") |$x, $y, $z| { # "${x}, ${y}, and ${z}" # } # $check_var = $x # # $fruit contains "apples, oranges, and bananas" # # $check_var is undefined, as the value of $x is local to the lambda. # ~~~ # # @since 4.0.0 # Puppet::Functions.create_function(:with) do dispatch :with do repeated_param 'Any', :arg block_param end def with(*args) yield(*args) end end
