# Homebrew Cookbook
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/chef-cookbooks/homebrew.svg?branch=master)](http://travis-ci.org/chef-cookbooks/homebrew) [![Cookbook Version](https://img.shields.io/cookbook/v/homebrew.svg)](https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/homebrew)
This cookbook installs [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/) and provides resources for working with taps and casks
## Requirements
### Platforms
- macOS
### Chef
- Chef 12.1+
### Cookbooks
- none
## Attributes
- `node['homebrew']['owner']` - The user that will own the Homebrew installation and packages. Setting this will override the default behavior which is to use the non-privileged user that has invoked the Chef run (or the `SUDO_USER` if invoked with sudo). The default is `nil`.
- `node['homebrew']['auto-update']` - Whether the default recipe should automatically update Homebrew each run or not. The default is `true` to maintain compatibility. Set to false or nil to disable. Note that disabling this feature may cause formula to not work.
- `node['homebrew']['formulas']` - An Array of formula that should be installed using Homebrew by default, used only in the `homebrew::install_formulas` recipe.
- To install the most recent version, include just the recipe name: `- simple_formula`
- To install a specific version, specify both its name and version:
```
- name: special-version-formula
version: 1.2.3
```
- To install the HEAD of a formula, specify both its name and `head: true`:
```
- name: head-tracking-formula
head: true
```
- To provide other options, specify both its name and options
```
- name: formula-with-options
options: --with-option-1 --with-other-option
```
- `node['homebrew']['casks']` - An Array of casks that should be installed using brew cask by default, used only in the `homebrew::install_casks` recipe.
- `node['homebrew']['taps']` - An Array of taps that should be installed using brew tap by default, used only in the `homebrew::install_taps` recipe.
## Resources (provider)
### homebrew_tap
LWRP for `brew tap`, a Homebrew command used to add additional formula repositories. From the `brew` man page:
```text
tap [tap]
Tap a new formula repository from GitHub, or list existing taps.
tap is of the form user/repo, e.g. brew tap homebrew/dupes.
```
Default action is `:tap` which enables the repository. Use `:untap` to disable a tapped repository.
#### Examples
```ruby
homebrew_tap 'homebrew/dupes'
homebrew_tap 'homebrew/dupes' do
action :untap
end
```
### homebrew_cask
LWRP for `brew cask`, a Homebrew-style CLI workflow for the administration of Mac applications distributed as binaries. It's implemented as a homebrew "external command" called cask.
[homebrew-cask on GitHub](https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask)
#### Prerequisites
You must have the homebrew-cask repository tapped.
```ruby
homebrew_tap 'caskroom/cask'
```
And then install the homebrew cask package before using this LWRP.
```ruby
package "brew-cask" do
action :install
end
```
You can include the `homebrew::cask` recipe to do this.
### Examples
```ruby
homebrew_cask "google-chrome"
homebrew_cask "google-chrome" do
action :uncask
end
```
Default action is `:cask` which installs the Application binary . Use `:uncask` to uninstall a an Application.

# Usage
We strongly recommend that you put "recipe[homebrew]" in your node's run list, to ensure that it is available on the system and that Homebrew itself gets installed. Putting an explicit dependency in the metadata will cause the cookbook to be downloaded and the library loaded, thus resulting in changing the package provider on Mac OS X, so if you have systems you want to use the default (Mac Ports), they would be changed to Homebrew.
The default recipe also ensures that Homebrew is installed and up to date if the auto update attribute (above) is true (default).
