Usage

To use cheflib in a project:

from cheflib import Chef
userid = 'dummy_user'
chef_url = 'some url to the chef server...'
organization = 'dummy_org'
private_key_contents = 'Private RSA Key contents here...'
chef = Chef(chef_url, organization, userid, private_key_contents)
n = chef.create_node('dummy_node')
n.normal = {'ipaddress': '1.1.1.1'}

# get node by name or IP address
n = chef.get_node_by_name('dummy_node')
n = chef.get_node_by_ip_address('1.1.1.1')

# full search, will return all node attributes
nodes = chef.search_nodes('name:dummy*')
for n in nodes:
    print(n.data)

# partial search, will return only requested attributes
keys = {
    "name": ["name"],
    "ip": ["ipaddress"],
    "kernel_version": ["kernel", "version"]
}

nodes = chef.search_nodes('name:dummy*', keys=keys)
for n in nodes:
    print(n.data)

# delete node
chef.delete_node_by_name('dummy_node')

# or

n = chef.get_node_by_name('dummy_node')
n.delete()
