Puppet users - Jun 2013 - Ruby Class or other API for controlling puppet/mcollective

HI,
i''m currently trying to develop a task-driven rails-based frontend for
some
tasks that puppet/mcollective is doing in the background ( basically some 
user-management and some asset queries...).

But i''m currently stuck at finding some puppet/mcollective API classes
for
ruby. (you''ll only find results for using ruby within puppet, which is
of
course more obvious).
Is there anything besides the depreciated DSL API and the http REST 
interface? 


thanks &  best regards,
Björn

Not knowing your entire goal but what you could use is the
mcollective-client gem in your rails application and have the puppet
mcollective agent, which PuppetLabs made, and you can run puppet related
commands like you would with "puppet resource".

So right now you can do something like "puppet resource user root" and
it
will return back the definition how it would look in puppet. You can also
make changes, using the previous example, by adding on in the command the
property fields in key=value format (e.g. puppet resource user root
password=''<password>'')
