This repository is a template for a Terraform provider. It is intended as a starting point for creating Terraform providers, containing:
internal/provider/
),examples/
) and generated documentation (docs/
),These files contain boilerplate code that you will need to edit to create your own Terraform provider. A full guide to creating Terraform providers can be found at Writing Custom Providers.
Please see the GitHub template repository documentation for how to create a new repository from this template on GitHub.
Once you've written your provider, you'll want to publish it on the Terraform Registry so that others can use it.
install
command:
$ go install
This provider uses Go modules. Please see the Go documentation for the most up to date information about using Go modules.
To add a new dependency github.com/author/dependency
to your Terraform provider:
go get github.com/author/dependency
go mod tidy
Then commit the changes to go.mod
and go.sum
.
Fill this in for each provider
If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need Go installed on your machine (see Requirements above).
To compile the provider, run go install
. This will build the provider and put the provider binary in the $GOPATH/bin
directory.
To generate or update documentation, run go generate
.
In order to run the full suite of Acceptance tests, run make testacc
.
Note: Acceptance tests create real resources, and often cost money to run.
$ make testacc
