Poise

The poise cookbook provides patterns and helpers for writing reusable Chef code.

Quick start

Create a libraries/default.rb file in your cookbook like so:

class Chef
  class Resource::MyResource < Resource
    include Poise
    actions(:enable, :disable)
    attribute(:path, kind_of: String)
  end

  class Provider::MyResource < Provider
    def action_enable
      converge_by("enable resource #{new_resource.name}") do
        notifying_block do
          ... # Normal Chef recipe code goes here
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

You can then use this resource like any other Chef resource:

my_resource 'one' do
  path '/tmp'
end
