This change adds support for lists and maps in config. We now allow
lists/maps (and nested structures) in `Pulumi.<stack>.yaml` (or
`Pulumi.<stack>.json`; yes, we currently support that).
For example:
```yaml
config:
proj:blah:
- a
- b
- c
proj:hello: world
proj:outer:
inner: value
proj:servers:
- port: 80
```
While such structures could be specified in the `.yaml` file manually,
we support setting values in maps/lists from the command line.
As always, you can specify single values with:
```shell
$ pulumi config set hello world
```
Which results in the following YAML:
```yaml
proj:hello world
```
And single value secrets via:
```shell
$ pulumi config set --secret token shhh
```
Which results in the following YAML:
```yaml
proj:token:
secure: v1:VZAhuroR69FkEPTk:isKafsoZVMWA9pQayGzbWNynww==
```
Values in a list can be set from the command line using the new
`--path` flag, which indicates the config key contains a path to a
property in a map or list:
```shell
$ pulumi config set --path names[0] a
$ pulumi config set --path names[1] b
$ pulumi config set --path names[2] c
```
Which results in:
```yaml
proj:names
- a
- b
- c
```
Values can be obtained similarly:
```shell
$ pulumi config get --path names[1]
b
```
Or setting values in a map:
```shell
$ pulumi config set --path outer.inner value
```
Which results in:
```yaml
proj:outer:
inner: value
```
Of course, setting values in nested structures is supported:
```shell
$ pulumi config set --path servers[0].port 80
```
Which results in:
```yaml
proj:servers:
- port: 80
```
If you want to include a period in the name of a property, it can be
specified as:
```
$ pulumi config set --path 'nested["foo.bar"]' baz
```
Which results in:
```yaml
proj:nested:
foo.bar: baz
```
Examples of valid paths:
- root
- root.nested
- 'root["nested"]'
- root.double.nest
- 'root["double"].nest'
- 'root["double"]["nest"]'
- root.array[0]
- root.array[100]
- root.array[0].nested
- root.array[0][1].nested
- root.nested.array[0].double[1]
- 'root["key with \"escaped\" quotes"]'
- 'root["key with a ."]'
- '["root key with \"escaped\" quotes"].nested'
- '["root key with a ."][100]'
Note: paths that contain quotes can be surrounded by single quotes.
When setting values with `--path`, if the value is `"false"` or
`"true"`, it will be saved as the boolean value, and if it is
convertible to an integer, it will be saved as an integer.
Secure values are supported in lists/maps as well:
```shell
$ pulumi config set --path --secret tokens[0] shh
```
Will result in:
```yaml
proj:tokens:
- secure: v1:wpZRCe36sFg1RxwG:WzPeQrCn4n+m4Ks8ps15MxvFXg==
```
Note: maps of length 1 with a key of “secure” and string value are
reserved for storing secret values. Attempting to create such a value
manually will result in an error:
```shell
$ pulumi config set --path parent.secure foo
error: "secure" key in maps of length 1 are reserved
```
**Accessing config values from the command line with JSON**
```shell
$ pulumi config --json
```
Will output:
```json
{
"proj:hello": {
"value": "world",
"secret": false,
"object": false
},
"proj:names": {
"value": "[\"a\",\"b\",\"c\"]",
"secret": false,
"object": true,
"objectValue": [
"a",
"b",
"c"
]
},
"proj:nested": {
"value": "{\"foo.bar\":\"baz\"}",
"secret": false,
"object": true,
"objectValue": {
"foo.bar": "baz"
}
},
"proj:outer": {
"value": "{\"inner\":\"value\"}",
"secret": false,
"object": true,
"objectValue": {
"inner": "value"
}
},
"proj:servers": {
"value": "[{\"port\":80}]",
"secret": false,
"object": true,
"objectValue": [
{
"port": 80
}
]
},
"proj:token": {
"secret": true,
"object": false
},
"proj:tokens": {
"secret": true,
"object": true
}
}
```
If the value is a map or list, `"object"` will be `true`. `"value"` will
contain the object as serialized JSON and a new `"objectValue"` property
will be available containing the value of the object.
If the object contains any secret values, `"secret"` will be `true`, and
just like with scalar values, the value will not be outputted unless
`--show-secrets` is specified.
**Accessing config values from Pulumi programs**
Map/list values are available to Pulumi programs as serialized JSON, so
the existing
`getObject`/`requireObject`/`getSecretObject`/`requireSecretObject`
functions can be used to retrieve such values, e.g.:
```typescript
import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
interface Server {
port: number;
}
const config = new pulumi.Config();
const names = config.requireObject<string[]>("names");
for (const n of names) {
console.log(n);
}
const servers = config.requireObject<Server[]>("servers");
for (const s of servers) {
console.log(s.port);
}
```
