I thought it would be a good time to create a generator for retrospec to create hiera backends and data in module scaffolding. With the 1.6.0 release you are now a simple step away to retrofitting data into your module. Just run `retrospec puppet module_data` to auto create the scaffolding. Note: You must be using puppet 4.7+ (PE 2016.4.x) to actually use data in a module, but there is nothing stopping you from creating the scaffolding. + +Note: If you are using puppet 4.7-4.8 you will need to add `data_provider: "hiera"` in your module's metadata.json file. ### 3/7/17 You can now sync files.
