# MCollective::Facts

This is a class that gives access to the configured fact provider such as MCollectives::Facts::Facter that uses Reductive Labs facter

The actual provider is pluggable and configurable using the ‘factsource’ configuration option.

To develop a new factsource simply create a class under MCollective::Facts | and provide the following classes:
    self.get_fact(fact)
    self.has_fact?(fact)
You can also just inherit from MCollective::Facts::Base and provide just the
    self.get_facts
method that should return a hash of facts.

    def self.get_fact(fact)
      PluginManager["facts_plugin"].get_fact(fact)
    end

has_fact?(fact, value) click to toggle source

True if we know of a specific fact else false

    # File lib/mcollective/facts.rb, line 25
    def self.has_fact?(fact, value)
      PluginManager["facts_plugin"].get_fact(fact) == value ? true : false
    end
