Overview ¶
Package configschema contains types for describing the expected structure of a configuration block whose shape is not known until runtime.
For example, this is used to describe the expected contents of a resource configuration block, which is defined by the corresponding provider plugin and thus not compiled into Terraform core.
A configschema primarily describes the shape of configuration, but it is also suitable for use with other structures derived from the configuration, such as the cached state of a resource or a resource diff.
This package should not be confused with the package helper/schema, which is the higher-level helper library used to implement providers themselves.

Types ¶
type Attribute ¶
type Attribute struct {
// Type is a type specification that the attribute's value must conform to.
// It conflicts with NestedType.
Type cty.Type
// NestedType indicates that the attribute is a NestedBlock-style object.
// This field conflicts with Type.
NestedType *Object
// Description is an English-language description of the purpose and
// usage of the attribute. A description should be concise and use only
// one or two sentences, leaving full definition to longer-form
// documentation defined elsewhere.
Description string
DescriptionKind StringKind
// Required, if set to true, specifies that an omitted or null value is
// not permitted.
Required bool
// Optional, if set to true, specifies that an omitted or null value is
// permitted. This field conflicts with Required.
Optional bool
// Computed, if set to true, specifies that the value comes from the
// provider rather than from configuration. If combined with Optional,
// then the config may optionally provide an overridden value.
Computed bool
// Sensitive, if set to true, indicates that an attribute may contain
// sensitive information.
//
// At present nothing is done with this information, but callers are
// encouraged to set it where appropriate so that it may be used in the
// future to help Terraform mask sensitive information. (Terraform
// currently achieves this in a limited sense via other mechanisms.)
Sensitive bool
Deprecated bool
}
Attribute represents a configuration attribute, within a block.
func (*Attribute) EmptyValue ¶
EmptyValue returns the "empty value" for the receiving attribute, which is the value that would be returned if there were no definition of the attribute at all, ignoring any required constraint.
func (*Attribute) ImpliedType ¶
ImpliedType returns the cty.Type that would result from decoding a Block's ImpliedType and getting the resulting AttributeType.
ImpliedType always returns a result, even if the given schema is inconsistent. Code that creates configschema.Object objects should be tested using the InternalValidate method to detect any inconsistencies that would cause this method to fall back on defaults and assumptions.
func (*Attribute) InternalValidate ¶
InternalValidate returns an error if the receiving attribute and its child schema definitions have any inconsistencies with the documented rules for valid schema.
type Block ¶
type Block struct {
// Attributes describes any attributes that may appear directly inside
// the block.
Attributes map[string]*Attribute
// BlockTypes describes any nested block types that may appear directly
// inside the block.
BlockTypes map[string]*NestedBlock
Description string
DescriptionKind StringKind
Deprecated bool
}
Block represents a configuration block.
"Block" here is a logical grouping construct, though it happens to map directly onto the physical block syntax of Terraform's native configuration syntax. It may be a more a matter of convention in other syntaxes, such as JSON.
When converted to a value, a Block always becomes an instance of an object type derived from its defined attributes and nested blocks
func (*Block) AttributeByPath ¶
AttributeByPath looks up the Attribute schema which corresponds to the given cty.Path. A nil value is returned if the given path does not correspond to a specific attribute.
func (*Block) CoerceValue ¶
CoerceValue attempts to force the given value to conform to the type implied by the receiever.
This is useful in situations where a configuration must be derived from an already-decoded value. It is always better to decode directly from configuration where possible since then source location information is still available to produce diagnostics, but in special situations this function allows a compatible result to be obtained even if the configuration objects are not available.
If the given value cannot be converted to conform to the receiving schema then an error is returned describing one of possibly many problems. This error may be a cty.PathError indicating a position within the nested data structure where the problem applies.
func (*Block) ContainsSensitive ¶
ContainsSensitive returns true if any of the attributes of the receiving block or any of its descendent blocks are marked as sensitive.
Blocks themselves cannot be sensitive as a whole -- sensitivity is a per-attribute idea -- but sometimes we want to include a whole object decoded from a block in some UI output, and that is safe to do only if none of the contained attributes are sensitive.
func (*Block) DecoderSpec ¶
DecoderSpec returns a hcldec.Spec that can be used to decode a HCL Body using the facilities in the hcldec package.
The returned specification is guaranteed to return a value of the same type returned by method ImpliedType, but it may contain null values if any of the block attributes are defined as optional and/or computed respectively.
func (*Block) EmptyValue ¶
EmptyValue returns the "empty value" for the recieving block, which for a block type is a non-null object where all of the attribute values are the empty values of the block's attributes and nested block types.
In other words, it returns the value that would be returned if an empty block were decoded against the recieving schema, assuming that no required attribute or block constraints were honored.
func (*Block) ImpliedType ¶
ImpliedType returns the cty.Type that would result from decoding a configuration block using the receiving block schema.
The type returned from Block.ImpliedType differs from the type returned by hcldec.ImpliedType in that there will be no objects with optional attributes, since this value is not to be used for the decoding of configuration.
ImpliedType always returns a result, even if the given schema is inconsistent. Code that creates configschema.Block objects should be tested using the InternalValidate method to detect any inconsistencies that would cause this method to fall back on defaults and assumptions.
func (*Block) InternalValidate ¶
InternalValidate returns an error if the receiving block and its child schema definitions have any inconsistencies with the documented rules for valid schema.
This can be used within unit tests to detect when a given schema is invalid, and is run when terraform loads provider schemas during NewContext.
func (*Block) NoneRequired ¶
NoneRequired returns a deep copy of the receiver with any required attributes translated to optional.
func (*Block) StaticValidateTraversal ¶
func (b *Block) StaticValidateTraversal(traversal hcl.Traversal) tfdiags.Diagnostics
StaticValidateTraversal checks whether the given traversal (which must be relative) refers to a construct in the receiving schema, returning error diagnostics if any problems are found.
This method is "optimistic" in that it will not return errors for possible problems that cannot be detected statically. It is possible that a traversal which passed static validation will still fail when evaluated.
func (*Block) ValueMarks ¶
ValueMarks returns a set of path value marks for a given value and path, based on the sensitive flag for each attribute within the schema. Nested blocks are descended (if present in the given value).
type NestedBlock ¶
type NestedBlock struct {
// Block is the description of the block that's nested.
Block
// Nesting provides the nesting mode for the child block, which determines
// how many instances of the block are allowed, how many labels it expects,
// and how the resulting data will be converted into a data structure.
Nesting NestingMode
// MinItems and MaxItems set, for the NestingList and NestingSet nesting
// modes, lower and upper limits on the number of child blocks allowed
// of the given type. If both are left at zero, no limit is applied.
//
// As a special case, both values can be set to 1 for NestingSingle in
// order to indicate that a particular single block is required.
//
// These fields are ignored for other nesting modes and must both be left
// at zero.
MinItems, MaxItems int
}
NestedBlock represents the embedding of one block within another.
func (*NestedBlock) EmptyValue ¶
func (b *NestedBlock) EmptyValue() cty.Value
EmptyValue returns the "empty value" for when there are zero nested blocks present of the receiving type.
type NestingMode ¶
type NestingMode int
NestingMode is an enumeration of modes for nesting blocks inside other blocks.
const ( // NestingSingle indicates that only a single instance of a given // block type is permitted, with no labels, and its content should be // provided directly as an object value. NestingSingle NestingMode // NestingGroup is similar to NestingSingle in that it calls for only a // single instance of a given block type with no labels, but it additonally // guarantees that its result will never be null, even if the block is // absent, and instead the nested attributes and blocks will be treated // as absent in that case. (Any required attributes or blocks within the // nested block are not enforced unless the block is explicitly present // in the configuration, so they are all effectively optional when the // block is not present.) // // This is useful for the situation where a remote API has a feature that // is always enabled but has a group of settings related to that feature // that themselves have default values. By using NestingGroup instead of // NestingSingle in that case, generated plans will show the block as // present even when not present in configuration, thus allowing any // default values within to be displayed to the user. NestingGroup // NestingList indicates that multiple blocks of the given type are // permitted, with no labels, and that their corresponding objects should // be provided in a list. NestingList // NestingSet indicates that multiple blocks of the given type are // permitted, with no labels, and that their corresponding objects should // be provided in a set. NestingSet // NestingMap indicates that multiple blocks of the given type are // permitted, each with a single label, and that their corresponding // objects should be provided in a map whose keys are the labels. // // It's an error, therefore, to use the same label value on multiple // blocks. NestingMap )
func (NestingMode) String ¶
func (i NestingMode) String() string
type Object ¶
type Object struct {
// Attributes describes the nested attributes which may appear inside the
// Object.
Attributes map[string]*Attribute
// Nesting provides the nesting mode for this Object, which determines how
// many instances of the Object are allowed, how many labels it expects, and
// how the resulting data will be converted into a data structure.
Nesting NestingMode
}
Object represents the embedding of a structural object inside an Attribute.
func (*Object) AttributeByPath ¶
AttributeByPath recurses through a NestedType to look up the Attribute scheme which corresponds to the given cty.Path. A nil value is returned if the given path does not correspond to a specific attribute.
func (*Object) ContainsSensitive ¶
ContainsSensitive returns true if any of the attributes of the receiving Object are marked as sensitive.
func (*Object) ImpliedType ¶
ImpliedType returns the cty.Type that would result from decoding a NestedType Attribute using the receiving block schema.
ImpliedType always returns a result, even if the given schema is inconsistent. Code that creates configschema.Object objects should be tested using the InternalValidate method to detect any inconsistencies that would cause this method to fall back on defaults and assumptions.
func (*Object) ValueMarks ¶
ValueMarks returns a set of path value marks for a given value and path, based on the sensitive flag for each attribute within the nested attribute. Attributes with nested types are descended (if present in the given value).
