Support Chalice #516

Open ducva opened 3 years ago

ducva commented 3 years ago

As you known, Chalice support package in terraform format, ref: https://aws.github.io/chalice/topics/tf.html

Do we have any way to import the chalice.tf.json file, and use terraform cdk to create resources and the lambda functions?

That's an interesting suggestion, I wasn't aware that Chalice can generate Terraform config as well.

By importing you mean, being able to reference the resources generated by Chalice via the JSON output? So, essentially generating Typescript constructs out of the JSON?

In my imagination: I can parse the chalice.tf.json and manipulate these resources.

Is there any way to create a resource from JSON format? I know Terraform also support JSON format, so support parsing JSON to resources may not only useful for chalice but also other cases too.

There's no way to do this at the moment. However, that's certainly an interesting use-case which I could see to be quite valuable. That's something which would be needed for https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-cdk/issues/231 as well.
