If you imagine declaring a single resource of a built-in type that
encompasses multiple files inside a given directory, then that can only be
structured as a recursive File resource aimed at the directory.
Non-recursive Files always represent exactly one file / directory / symlink.
Unfortunately, however, Puppet does not support what you are asking. The
'ignore' parameter is as close as it comes: with that you could manage all
files in a given directory *except* those matching some glob, but you want
the opposite selection criterion.
As far as I can see, your best bet for a Puppet-based solution is an Exec.
