Hi All,
This may be a very basic concept but I am not able to find the syntax to make it work. For Example, Is it possible to create a resource in recipe email.rb named emailme that can take a parameter that I can then feed into the recipe to email me a specific message from another recipe using notifies and only_if etc. So what I am trying to do is reuse code instead of writing an emailme resource in every recipe.
Thanks

recipes are not methods that can take parameters. generally you can
customize them via attributes. so, emailme recipe can declare a attribute
and use that as a message. from the other recipe you can use set the value
of the message attribute and then include_recipe 'emailme'.
i prefer to use roles to customize the attribute.

Look at definition instead of recipe, you can define there a resource
which takes parameter and it's code will be evaluated with the correct
parameters. Usually the definitions are used to call a group of
resources with some parameters.
Foodcritic will give you a warning if you use definitions though, just as
an FYI
