A dynamic resource is a resource whose provider is implemented alongside
the resource itself. This provider may close over and use orther
resources in the implementation of its CRUD operations. The provider
itself must be stateless, as each CRUD operation for a particular
dynamic resource type may use an independent instance of the provider.
Changes to the definition of a resource's provider result in replacement
of the resource itself (rather than a simple update), as this allows the
old provider definition to delete the old resource and the new provider
definition to create an appropriate replacement.
This resource provider accepts a single configuration parameter, `testing:provider:module`, that is the path to a Javascript module that implements CRUD operations for a set of resource types. This allows e.g. a test case to provide its own implementation of these operations that may succeed or fail in interesting ways.
Fixes#338.
This exposes the existing runtime logging functionality in a way meant
for 3rd-parties to consume. This can be useful if we want to introduce
debug logging, warnings, or other things, that fit nicely with the
Pulumi CLI and overall developer workflow.
As part of pulumi/pulumi-fabric#331, we've been exploring just using
undefined to indicate that a property value is absent during planning.
We also considered blocking the message loop to simplify the overall
programming model, so that all asynchrony is hidden.
It turns out ThereBeDragons 🐲 anytime you try to block the
message loop. So, we aren't quite sure about that bit.
But the part we are convicted about is that this Computed/Property
model is far too complex. Furthermore, it's very close to promises, and
yet frustratingly so far away. Indeed, the original thinking in
pulumi/pulumi-fabric#271 was simply to use promises, but we wanted to
encourage dataflow styles, rather than control flow. But we muddied up
our thinking by worrying about awaiting a promise that would never resolve.
It turns out we can achieve a middle ground: resolve planning promises to
undefined, so that they don't lead to hangs, but still use promises so
that asynchrony is explicit in the system. This also avoids blocking the
message loop. Who knows, this may actually be a fine final destination.
This change makes a few simplifications to how properties are exposed in
the system, mostly in the name of usability, but also to feel a bit more
like "idiomatic JavaScript". Namely:
* Rename `then` to `mapValue`. This hopefully helps to suggest that this
is meant for a dataflow style of programming.
* Move Property<T> into the runtime module, and remove PropertyState<T>,
collapsing back down to a single type. This also eliminates some of the
messy internal runtime casting, accessing of internal members, etc.
* Export a Computed<T> interface from the root of the module. This is
the entirety of the public-facing surface area for properties, and
exposes that single `mapValue` member function. The internal runtime
logic understands how to handle Property<T>s specifically in addition
to Computed<T>s more generally (in case someone writes their own).
The organization of packages underneath lib/ breaks the easy consumption
of submodules, a la
import {FileAsset} from "@pulumi/pulumi-fabric/asset";
We will go back to having everything hanging off the module root directory.
