gistfile1.rb

  ruby_block "data bag item thing" do
    block do
        item = {
          "id" => "thing",
          "key" => "value"
        }
        Chef::Log.info "Storing volume_id #{item.inspect}"
        databag_item = Chef::DataBagItem.new
        databag_item.data_bag("bagname")
        databag_item.raw_data = item
        databag_item.save

item can be any ruby hash, it must contain an id.
