Is nested class supported in Puppet

Question

Is nested class supported on puppet? If yes, how does it work?

Answer 1

Puppet supports the concept of nesting of classes in which it allows to use nested classes which means one class inside the other. This helps in achieving modularity and scoping.

class testclass { 
   class nested { 
      file {  
         '/etc/passwd': 
         owner => 'superuser', 
         group => 'superuser', 
         mode => 644; 
      } 
   } 
} 
class anotherclass { 
   include myclass::nested 
}
