data references

[dehuszar]

Hi there,

Are there plans for data references; as in:

data "confluentcloud_kafka_cluster" "cluster_from_another_stack" {
  display_name = "basic_kafka_cluster"
}

resource "confluentcloud_kafka_topic" "orders" {
  kafka_cluster      = data.confluentcloud_kafka_cluster.cluster_from_another_stack.id
  topic_name         = "orders"
  partitions_count   = 4
  http_endpoint      = data.confluentcloud_kafka_cluster.cluster_from_another_stack.http_endpoint
  config = {
    "cleanup.policy"    = "compact"
    "max.message.bytes" = "12345"
    "retention.ms"      = "67890"
  }
  credentials {
    key    = "<Kafka API Key for data.confluentcloud_kafka_cluster.cluster_from_another_stack>"
    secret = "<Kafka API Secret for data.confluentcloud_kafka_cluster.cluster_from_another_stack>"
  }
}

We would like to have a primary repo which controls all the core infrastructure, but not have to statically store all the requisite ids and pass them in to the producer and consumer services' stack.

Thanks for creating this issue @dehuszar!

I definitely agree that the support for data sources will be very useful and that's something we've been working on so hopefully we'll add them in one of our next releases, stay tuned!

👋
check out our most recent 0.4.0 release where we added data sources for:
* confluentcloud_environment
* confluentcloud_kafka_cluster
* confluentcloud_kafka_topic
* confluentcloud_service_account

Hooray! Thanks for the ping
