Method: Chef::Resource#declared_key

Defined in:
lib/chef/resource.rb

#declared_key ⇒ Object

We usually want to store and reference resources by their declared type and not the actual type that was looked up by the Resolver (IE, “package” becomes YumPackage class). If we have not been provided the declared key we want to fall back on the old to_s key.
