Simple Type Arrays
++++++++++++++++++
Simple type arrays like ``[string[]]`` or ``[UInt32[]]`` are defined as a comma
separated string which are then cast to their type. For example,
to define a simple type array in Ansible::
CimInstance Type
++++++++++++++++
A ``[CimInstance]`` object is used by DSC to store a dictionary object based on
a custom class defined by that resource. Defining a value that takes in a
``[CimInstance]`` in YAML is the same as defining a dictionary in YAML.
For example, to define a ``[CimInstance]`` value in Ansible::
# [CimInstance]AuthenticationInfo == MSFT_xWebAuthenticationInformation
AuthenticationInfo
Anonymous: no
Basic: yes
Digest: no
Windows: yes
In the above example, the CIM instance is a representation of the class
``MSFT_xWebAuthenticationInformation <https://github.com/PowerShell/xWebAdministration/blob/dev/DSCResources/MSFT_xWebsite/MSFT_xWebsite.schema.mof>``_.
This class accepts four boolean variables, ``Anonymous``, ``Basic``,
``Digest``, and ``Windows``. The keys to use in a ``[CimInstance]`` depend on
the class it represents. Please read through the documentation of the resource
to determine the keys that can be used and the types of each key value. The
class definition is typically located in the ``<resource name>.schema.mof``.
Arrays
++++++
Simple type arrays like ``[string[]]`` or ``[UInt32[]]`` are defined as a list
or as a comma separated string which are then cast to their type. Using a list
is recommended because the values are not manually parsed by the ``win_dsc``
module before being passed to the DSC engine. For example, to define a simple
type array in Ansible::
# [string[]]
ValueData: entry1, entry2, entry3
ValueData:
- entry1
- entry2
- entry3
# [UInt32[]]
ReturnCode: 0,3010
ReturnCode:
- 0
- 3010
Complex type arrays like ``[CimInstance[]]`` (array of dicts), can be defined
like this example::
# [CimInstance[]]BindingInfo == MSFT_xWebBindingInformation
BindingInfo:
- Protocol: https
Port: 443
CertificateStoreName: My
CertificateThumbprint: C676A89018C4D5902353545343634F35E6B3A659
HostName: DSCTest
IPAddress: '*'
SSLFlags: 1
- Protocol: http
Port: 80
IPAddress: '*'
The above example, is an array with two values of the class ``MSFT_xWebBindingInformation <https://github.com/PowerShell/xWebAdministration/blob/dev/DSCResources/MSFT_xWebsite/MSFT_xWebsite.schema.mof>``_.
When defining a ``[CimInstance[]]``, be sure to read the resource documentation
to find out what keys to use in the definition.
