1. Running the Local Server

The local server manages data entities and exposes HTTP APIs for creating, retrieving, updating, and deleting the user entities.

Prerequisites

• Go installed on your machine

Steps

1. Clone the server repository from GitHub:

   git clone https://github.com/srikanthbhandary-teach/my-server.git
   

2. Navigate to the server directory:

   cd server
   

3. Run the server:

   go run main.go
   

4. The server will start and be accessible at http://localhost:8080.

2. Setting Up Local Development for Terraform

To develop and test your custom Terraform provider locally, follow these steps:

Prerequisites

• Go installed on your machine

Steps

1. Clone the custom Terraform provider repository from GitHub:

   git clone https://github.com/srikanthbhandary-teach/myprovider.git
   

2. Navigate to the provider directory:

   cd myprovider
   

3. Install the custom Terraform provider using Go modules:

   go install github.com/srikanthbhandary-teach/myprovider@latest
   

4. Verify the installation:

   terraform init
   

   This command initializes the Terraform configuration and verifies the custom provider's installation.

3. Using the Custom Terraform Provider

To use the custom Terraform provider, you'll first need to install it.

Prerequisites

• Terraform installed on your machine

Steps

1. Install the Custom Terraform Provider:

   Run the following command to download and install the custom Terraform provider using Go modules:

   go install github.com/srikanthbhandary-teach/myprovider@latest
   

2. Verify the Installation:

   Ensure that the custom provider is installed and accessible by running:

   terraform init
   

   This command initializes the Terraform configuration and verifies the custom provider's installation.

3. Use the Custom Provider:

   In your Terraform configuration, specify the custom provider in the terraform block:

   terraform {
     required_providers {
       myprovider = {
         source = "github.com/srikanthbhandary-teach/myprovider"
       }
     }
   }
   

   Use the provider in your resources and data sources.

4. Terraform Examples

Here are some examples of using the custom Terraform provider:

data "myprovider_users" "example" {
  filter = {
    name = "srikanth"
    id   = 10
    age  = 20
  }
}

output "myprovider_users" {
  value = data.myprovider_users.example.users
}

resource "myprovider_user" "user1" {
  name = "srikanth1"
  age  = 30
  id   = 11
}

This guide covers setting up and using a custom Terraform provider, running a local server, and using the provider in Terraform configurations.
