Refer to other resources by reference instead of ID

[pawelprazak]

TypeScript:

export interface MethodSettingsArgs {
...
  /**
     * ID of the REST API
     */
    restApi: pulumi.Input<string | RestApi>;
...
}

(another example)

What we generate currently:

final case class MethodSettingsArgs private(
...
  restApi: Output[String],
...
)

Relevant schema:

          "restApi": {
            "type": "string",
            "oneOf": [
              {
                "type": "string"
              },
              {
                "type": "string",
                "$ref": "#/types/aws:apigateway%2FrestApi:RestApi"
              }
            ],
            "description": "ID of the REST API\n",
            "willReplaceOnChanges": true
          },

How does it work? What is the definition of RestAPI resource?

[pawelprazak]

this codegen log looks related:

Warning: Type URI #/types/aws:apigateway%2FrestApi:RestApi has no corresponding type definition - using its underlying type as fallback

[pawelprazak]

I was able to get the correct type resolved in unit tests, from this schema:

{
  "type": "string",
  "oneOf": [
    {
      "type": "string"
    },
    {
      "type": "string",
      "$ref": "#/types/aws:apigateway%2FrestApi:RestApi"
    }
  ],
  "willReplaceOnChanges": true
}

into String | besom.api.aws.apigateway.RestApi

but, there is another issue, the generated code has Args suffix:

[error] ./.out/codegen/aws/6.5.0/src/apigateway/AuthorizerArgs.scala:13:23
[error] Encoder for besom.internal.Output[scala.Predef.String | besom.api.aws.apigateway.RestApiArgs] was not found!
[error] ) derives besom.types.ArgsEncoder

[pawelprazak]

Added to codegen in #332

[pawelprazak]

Almost there:

=> Diff (- obtained, + expected)
-String | besom.api.aws.apigateway.RestApiArgs
+String | besom.api.aws.apigateway.RestApi
