Ability to specify facts

[ghoneycutt]

As a puppet developer, I would like to be able to upload the output of facter -p -j to HDM and specify keys and see what Hiera would return as the values.

We are working on a HDM API. see #87
The actual implementation requires fully deployed Puppet code and access to PuppetDB and only needs environment, node and which key to look for.
A request to API with facts data is another use case.

Maybe same as #155: male use of fake puppetdb and the folders. Needs dokumentation.

Any more feedback on this?

I took some time to think about this.

we can have an api endpoint.

environment and json facts must be part of a post request.

API returns the actual lookup result.

in debug mode API returns json with a hash (hiera layer, possible files, file with content) and the lookup result
