$blah = $domain ? {
"corp.xxx.com" => "/u",
"fr.xxx.com" => "/home",
}
file {
$blah:
ensure => directory;
}
That would work, however, if there was a ZZZ.xxx.com domain, it would fail.
I suggest wrapping a case statement around the variable definition which would
allow for a "default" value.
case $domain {
corp.xxxx.com: {
$homedir = "/u"
}
fr.xxx.com: {
$homedir = "/home"
}
default: {
$homedir = "/home"
}
file {
$homedir:
ensure => directory;
}
It is a few more lines typed out but it is easy to read.
