now cookbook
============

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/chef-cookbooks/now.svg?branch=master)](http://travis-ci.org/chef-cookbooks/now)
[![Cookbook Version](https://img.shields.io/cookbook/v/now.svg)](https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/now)

This cookbook is a pure library cookbook that monkey patches the core
Chef DSL to provide a method called `include_recipe_now`. This method
will converge a recipe immediately, as it is encountered during
compilation. This is meant to avoid the "compile phase" arms race
created by over-use and abuse of .run_action. It is not meant to be a
permanent solution for achieving this behavior and should be used only
sparingly, with full understanding of what is happening.
