DEFINING PARAMETERS
-------------------
Every type consists of optional and required parameters, which must
be created in a newline seperated file in ***parameters/required*** and
***parameters/optional***. If either or both missing, the type will have
no required, no optional or no parameters at all.
Every type consists of required, optional and boolean parameters, which must
be created in a newline seperated file in ***parameter/required***,
***parameter/optional*** and ***parameter/boolean***. If either is missing,
the type will have no required, no optional, no boolean or no parameters at
all.
Example:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
echo servername >> conf/type/__nginx_vhost/parameter/required
echo logdirectory >> conf/type/__nginx_vhost/parameter/optional
echo use_ssl >> conf/type/__nginx_vhost/parameter/boolean
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
USING PARAMETERS
----------------
The parameters given to a type can be accessed and used in all type scripts
(e.g manifest, gencode-*, explorer/*). Note that boolean parameters are
represented by file existence. File exists -> True,
file does not exist -> False
Example: (e.g. in conf/type/__nginx_vhost/manifest)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# required parameter
servername="$(cat "$__object/parameter/servername")"
# optional parameter
if [ -f "$__object/parameter/logdirectory" ]; then
logdirectory="$(cat "$__object/parameter/logdirectory")"
fi
# boolean parameter
if [ -f "$__object/parameter/use_ssl" ]; then
# file exists -> True
# do some fancy ssl stuff
fi
