Can we write a chef cookbook to enable epel repository on centos

by

I have configured 3 centos servers for chefworkstation, chefserver and chefclient. Now I want to install nginx using the cookbook. For that I have below script. 

package 'nginx' do
  action :install
end

This did not work because there were not enabled epel-release. Is there a way to enable epel repository before running above script?

Answer

Of course you can, but other people have done it before you so you can use their code.

From a simple google search I found the following official cookbook in Chef Supermarket:
