I have list nested attribute spec defined in main.tf and it looks like this:
di_name = [
{
source_name = "test1"
new_d_name = "test2"
new_di_name = "test3"
di_type = "test4"
},
{
source_name = "test1"
new_d_name = "test2"
new_di_name = "test3"
di_type = "test4"
},
]
It corresponds to the following.
"di_name" : schema.ListNestedAttribute{
Optional: true,
NestedObject: schema.NestedAttributeObject{
Attributes: map[string]schema.Attribute{
"source_name": schema.StringAttribute{
Required: true,
},
"new_d_name" : schema.StringAttribute{
Required: true,
},
"new_di_name" : schema.StringAttribute{
Required: true,
},
"di_type" : schema.StringAttribute{
Required: true,
},
},
},
type ModelStruct struct {
DName []vmDi `tfsdk:"di_name"`
}
type vmDi struct {
Source Name types.String `tfsdk:"source_name"`
NewDName types.String `tfsdk:"new_d_name"`
NewDiName types.String `tfsdk:"new_di_name"`
DiType types.String `tfsdk:"di_type"`
}
In new class/package hope that is right therm in GO, I have corresponding struct that I would like to initialize with data.
type VmBi struct {
GetData [] VmDi
}
type VmDi struct {
Source Name string
NewDName string
NewDiName string
DiType string
}
Now I would like to use this create method to get all values from main.tf from di_name list:
func (r *vmResource) Create(ctx context.Context, req resource.CreateRequest, resp *resource.CreateResponse) {
Initialize struct with di_name values.
newData := newGoPackage.VmDi {
Put data here from di_name
}
}
How would I initialize that struct, since I can't access len(di_name) here.
Any help will do, thanks in advance.
I am assuming this is the terraform-framework-plugin since the usage appears consistent although it is not specified. To initialize a struct from the resource model one must declare the struct, and then use State.Get from the request to modify the struct as a reference within the method. The reference will then contain the HCL2 deserialized/unmarshalled values from the Terraform config. It is typical to also append the return to the response diagnostics. The pattern typically appears like:
func (r *vmResource) Create(ctx context.Context, req resource.CreateRequest, resp *resource.CreateResponse) {
var state ModelStruct
resp.Diagnostics.Append(req.State.Get(ctx, &state)...)
if resp.Diagnostics.HasError() {
return
}
// state.DName now resolves as expected as type []vmDi and is iterable
}
