# xyz Pulumi Component Provider (Go)

This repo is a boilerplate showing how to create a Pulumi component provider written in Go. You can search-replace `xyz` with the name of your desired provider as a starting point for creating a component provider for your component resources.

An example `StaticPage` [component resource](https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/resources/#components) is available in `provider/pkg/provider/staticPage.go`. This component creates a static web page hosted in an AWS S3 Bucket. There is nothing special about `StaticPage` -- it is a typical component resource written in Go.

The component provider makes component resources available to other languages. The implementation is in `provider/pkg/provider/provider.go`. Each component resource in the provider must have an implementation in the `Construct` function to create an instance of the requested component resource and return its `URN` and state (outputs). There is an initial implementation that demonstrates an implementation of `Construct` for the example `StaticPage` component.

A code generator is available which generates SDKs in TypeScript, Python, Go and .NET which are also checked in to the `sdk` folder. The SDKs are generated from a schema in `schema.json`. This file should be kept aligned with the component resources supported by the component provider implementation.

An example of using the `StaticPage` component in TypeScript is in `examples/simple`.

Note that the generated provider plugin (`pulumi-resource-xyz`) must be on your `PATH` to be used by Pulumi deployments. If creating a provider for distribution to other users, you should ensure they install this plugin to their `PATH`.

## Prerequisites

- Go 1.15
- Pulumi CLI
- Node.js (to build the Node.js SDK)
- Yarn (to build the Node.js SDK)
- Python 3.6+ (to build the Python SDK)
- .NET Core SDK (to build the .NET SDK)

## Build and Test

```bash
# Build and install the provider (plugin copied to $GOPATH/bin)
make install_provider

# Regenerate SDKs
make generate

# Test Node.js SDK
$ make install_nodejs_sdk
$ cd examples/simple
$ yarn install
$ yarn link @pulumi/xyz
$ pulumi stack init test
$ pulumi config set aws:region us-east-1
$ pulumi up
```

## Naming

The `xyz` provider's plugin binary must be named `pulumi-resource-xyz` (in the format `pulumi-resource-`).

While the provider plugin must follow this naming convention, the SDK package naming can be customized. TODO explain.

## Example component

Let's look at the example `StaticPage` component resource in more detail.

### Schema

The example `StaticPage` component resource is defined in `schema.json`:

```json
"resources": {
"xyz:index:StaticPage": {
"isComponent": true,
"inputProperties": {
"indexContent": {
"type": "string",
"description": "The HTML content for index.html."
}
},
"requiredInputs": [
"indexContent"
],
"properties": {
"bucket": {
"$ref": "/aws/v3.30.0/schema.json#/resources/aws:s3%2Fbucket:Bucket",
"description": "The bucket resource."
},
"websiteUrl": {
"type": "string",
"description": "The website URL."
}
},
"required": [
"bucket",
"websiteUrl"
]
}
}
```

The component resource's type token is `xyz:index:StaticPage` in the format of `::`. In this case, it's in the `xyz` package and `index` module. This is the same type token passed to `RegisterComponentResource` inside the implementation of `NewStaticPage` in `provider/pkg/provider/staticPage.go`, and also the same token referenced in `Construct` in `provider/pkg/provider/provider.go`.

This component has a required `indexContent` input property typed as `string`, and two required output properties: `bucket` and `websiteUrl`. Note that `bucket` is typed as the `aws:s3/bucket:Bucket` resource from the `aws` provider (in the schema the `/` is escaped as `%2F`).

Since this component returns a type from the `aws` provider, each SDK must reference the associated Pulumi `aws` SDK for the language. For the .NET, Node.js, and Python SDKs, dependencies are specified in the `language` section of the schema:

```json
"language": {
"csharp": {
"packageReferences": {
"Pulumi": "2.*",
"Pulumi.Aws": "3.*"
}
},
"nodejs": {
"dependencies": {
"@pulumi/aws": "^3.30.0"
},
"devDependencies": {
"typescript": "^3.7.0"
}
},
"python": {
"requires": {
"pulumi": ">=2.21.2,<3.0.0",
"pulumi-aws": ">=3.30.0,<4.0.0"
}
}
}
```

For the Go SDK, dependencies are specified in the `sdk/go.mod` file.

### Implementation

The implementation of this component is in `provider/pkg/provider/staticPage.go` and the structure of the component's inputs and outputs aligns with what is defined in `schema.json`:

```go
// The set of arguments for creating a StaticPage component resource.
type StaticPageArgs struct {
IndexContent pulumi.StringInput `pulumi:"indexContent"`
}

// The StaticPage component resource.
type StaticPage struct {
pulumi.ResourceState

Bucket *s3.Bucket `pulumi:"bucket"`
WebsiteUrl pulumi.StringOutput `pulumi:"websiteUrl"`
}

// NewStaticPage creates a new StaticPage component resource.
func NewStaticPage(ctx *pulumi.Context, name string, args *StaticPageArgs, opts ...pulumi.ResourceOption) (*StaticPage, error) {
...
}
```

The provider makes this component resource available in the `construct` function in `provider/pkg/provider/provider.go`. When `construct` is called and the `typ` argument is `xyz:index:StaticPage`, we create an instance of the `StaticPage` component resource and return its `URN` and state.

```go
func constructStaticPage(ctx *pulumi.Context, name string, inputs provider.ConstructInputs,
options pulumi.ResourceOption) (*provider.ConstructResult, error) {

// Copy the raw inputs to StaticPageArgs. `inputs.CopyTo` uses the types and `pulumi:` tags
// on the struct's fields to convert the raw values to the appropriate Input types.
args := &StaticPageArgs{}
if err := inputs.CopyTo(args); err != nil {
return nil, errors.Wrap(err, "setting args")
}

// Create the component resource.
staticPage, err := NewStaticPage(ctx, name, args, options)
if err != nil {
return nil, errors.Wrap(err, "creating component")
}

// Return the component resource's URN and state. `NewConstructResult` automatically sets the
// ConstructResult's state based on resource struct fields tagged with `pulumi:` tags with a value
// that is convertible to `pulumi.Input`.
return provider.NewConstructResult(staticPage)
}
```
