Hi Rafael, if you are just starting out with this, I'd highly recommend looking into the Resource API. It makes the development of types much easier, is a supported part of this week's puppet 6 release, and available as a separate download for previous puppet versions. The PDK also has support for getting you started with a ready to go skeleton using 'pdk new provider'.
See https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/6.0/custom_resources.html for all the details.
