Terraform Provider

• Website: https://www.terraform.io

Requirements

• Terraform 0.12.x
• Go 1.11 or higher (to build the provider plugin)

Building The Provider

Clone repository to: $GOPATH/src/github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-$PROVIDER_NAME

$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/hashicorp; cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/hashicorp
$ git clone git@github.com:hashicorp/terraform-provider-$PROVIDER_NAME

Enter the provider directory and build the provider

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-$PROVIDER_NAME
$ make build

Using the provider

data "cidr_network" "order" {
	cidr_block = "10.0.0.0/21"
	subnet {
		mask = 28
		name = "private_az1" 
	}
	subnet {
		mask = 24
		name = "private_az2" 
	}
	subnet {
		mask = 28
		name = "elb_az1" 
	}
	subnet {
		mask = 27
		name = "elb_az2" 
	}
}

// then later use the outputs 

Developing the Provider

If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need Go installed on your machine (version 1.8+ is required). You'll also need to correctly setup a GOPATH, as well as adding $GOPATH/bin to your $PATH.

To compile the provider, run make build. This will build the provider and put the provider binary in the $GOPATH/bin directory.

$ make bin
...
$ $GOPATH/bin/terraform-provider-$PROVIDER_NAME
...

In order to test the provider, you can simply run make test.

$ make test

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
