module Puppet::Parser::Functions
  newfunction(:zip, :type => :rvalue, :doc => <<-EOS
Takes one element from first array and merges corresponding elements from second array. This generates a sequence of n-element arrays, where n is one more than the count of arguments.

*Example:*

    zip(['1','2','3'],['4','5','6'])

Would result in:

    ["1", "4"], ["2", "5"], ["3", "6"]
    EOS
  ) do |arguments|

    # Technically we support three arguments but only first is mandatory ...
    raise(Puppet::ParseError, "zip(): Wrong number of arguments " +
      "given (#{arguments.size} for 2)") if arguments.size < 2

    a = arguments[0]
    b = arguments[1]

    unless a.is_a?(Array) and b.is_a?(Array)
      raise(Puppet::ParseError, 'zip(): Requires array to work with')
    end

    flatten = function_str2bool([arguments[2]]) if arguments[2]

    result = a.zip(b)
    result = flatten ? result.flatten : result

    return result
  end
