Puppet Mode
===========

[![License GPL 3][badge-license]][copying]
[![travis][badge-travis]][travis]

Puppet Mode lets you edit [Puppet][] 3 manifests with [GNU Emacs][] 24.

Puppet Mode is a major mode for [GNU Emacs][] 24 which adds support for the
[Puppet][] language.  Puppet is a system provisioning and configuration tool by
Puppetlabs Inc.  This mode supports Puppet 3 and later.  Puppet 2 is not
explicitly supported anymore, but should mostly work.

This mode needs GNU Emacs 24.  It will **not** work with GNU Emacs 23 and below,
or with other flavors of Emacs (e.g. XEmacs).

Features
--------

1. Syntax highlighting
2. Indentation and alignment of expressions and statements
3. Tag navigation (aka `imenu`)
4. Manual validation and linting of manifests (see [Flycheck][] for on-the-fly
   validation and linting)
5. Integration with [Puppet Debugger][]

Installation
------------

From [MELPA][] or [MELPA Stable][] with M-x package-install RET
puppet-mode.

In your [`Cask`][cask] file:

```el
(source melpa)

(depends-on "puppet-mode")
```

Usage
-----

Just visit Puppet manifests.  The major mode is enabled automatically for Puppet
manifests with the extension `.pp`.

The following key bindings are available in Puppet Mode:

Key                | Command
-------------------|--------------------------------------------------
C-M-a   | Move to the beginning of the current block
C-M-e   | Move to the end of the current block
C-c C-a | Align parameters in the current block
C-c C-' | Toggle string quoting between single and double
C-c C-; | Blank the string at point
C-c C-j | Jump to a `class`, `define`, variable or resource
C-c C-c | Apply the current manifest in dry-run mode
C-c C-v | Validate the syntax of the current manifest
C-c C-l | Check the current manifest for semantic issues
C-c C-z | Launch a puppet-debugger REPL
C-c C-r | Send the currently marked region to the REPL
C-c C-b | Send the current buffer to the REPL

For the integration with puppet-debugger to work, the puppet-debugger gem needs
to be installed and available in your `$PATH`.
See [the instructions][puppet debugger install instructions] on
puppet-debugger's repository on how to install it.

Use `M-x customize-group RET puppet` to customize Puppet Mode.
