Description

We currently publish pre-built versions of the most common Terraform providers for TypeScript / JavaScript, Python, Java and C#.
We want to do this for Go as well.

Note to my future self when writing docs for this soon:

go get github.com/hashicorp/cdktf-provider-random-go/random

main.go

package main

import (
	"github.com/aws/constructs-go/constructs/v10"
	"github.com/aws/jsii-runtime-go"
	"github.com/hashicorp/cdktf-provider-random-go/random"
	"github.com/hashicorp/terraform-cdk-go/cdktf"
)

func NewMyStack(scope constructs.Construct, id string) cdktf.TerraformStack {
	stack := cdktf.NewTerraformStack(scope, &id)

	// The code that defines your stack goes here
	random.NewRandomProvider(stack, jsii.String("random"), &random.RandomProviderConfig{})

	random.NewPassword(stack, jsii.String("password"), &random.PasswordConfig{Length: jsii.Number(10)})

	return stack
}

func main() {
	app := cdktf.NewApp(nil)

	NewMyStack(app, "test-go-prebuilt")

	app.Synth()
}

To subscribed readers: This already works, but 🤫

Are the https://github.com/terraform-cdk-providers repos going to be made public?

[ansgarm]

Hi @jamiegs 👋
That is an old Github org. We're currently publishing them under the HashiCorp org
See for example:
https://github.com/hashicorp/cdktf-provider-aws
https://github.com/hashicorp/cdktf-provider-aws-go

This repository manages them: https://github.com/hashicorp/cdktf-repository-manager
And this is the (self-updating) projen template: https://github.com/hashicorp/cdktf-provider-project

Everything is public 👍

Also: This can be closed now as we support pre-built providers for Go since 0.12 🎉
Or did I miss something, @DanielMSchmidt?

No I just forgot to close it out
