You do not *have* to quote strings however I have ran into issues with hiera
turning strings that look like integers into an integer which causes problems
when you attempt to do a key lookup using a string value or pass a value to a
parameter that expects a string value.
For example, there is a difference between this:
|
signing_keys:
epel:'7':
key_name:foo
|
And this:
|
signing_keys:
epel:7:
key_name:foo
|
The latter causes the value for signingkeys['epel'] to be converted into
an integer instead of a string. This can cause issues with puppet
depending on how you reference the data.
Note that it is not "hiera"/"puppet" that does that, it is the parser
that reads json or yaml that lexes and interprets values as array, hash,
string, integer etc. according with the syntax and rules for the format.

Hi all,
Searching the Internets didn't reveal anything: Is there some style
guide or best practice regarding syntax used in hiera, writing .yaml
files? For example, should it be:
array:
- string
- string
or
array:
- 'string'
- 'string'
Thanks in advance,
all the best,
Georg
