Terraform Provider Resources Implementation Guide
Overview
This guide covers developing Terraform Provider resources and data sources using the Terraform Plugin Framework. Resources represent infrastructure objects that Terraform manages through Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) operations.

SDKv2 Resource Pattern
func ResourceExample() *schema.Resource {
return &schema.Resource{
CreateWithoutTimeout: resourceExampleCreate,
ReadWithoutTimeout: resourceExampleRead,
UpdateWithoutTimeout: resourceExampleUpdate,
DeleteWithoutTimeout: resourceExampleDelete,
Importer: &schema.ResourceImporter{
StateContext: schema.ImportStatePassthroughContext,
},

}
}
Plugin Framework Resource Pattern
type resourceExample struct {
framework.ResourceWithConfigure
}
func (r *resourceExample) Metadata(_ context.Context, req resource.MetadataRequest, resp *resource.MetadataResponse) {
resp.TypeName = req.ProviderTypeName + "_example"
}
func (r *resourceExample) Schema(ctx context.Context, req resource.SchemaRequest, resp *resource.SchemaResponse) {
resp.Schema = schema.Schema{
Attributes: map[string]schema.Attribute{
"id": framework.IDAttribute(),
"name": schema.StringAttribute{
Required: true,
PlanModifiers: []planmodifier.String{
stringplanmodifier.RequiresReplace(),
},
Validators: []validator.String{
stringvalidator.LengthBetween(1, 255),
},
},
"arn": schema.StringAttribute{
Computed: true,
PlanModifiers: []planmodifier.String{
stringplanmodifier.UseStateForUnknown(),
},
},
},
}
}
CRUD Operations
Create Operation
func (r *resourceExample) Create(ctx context.Context, req resource.CreateRequest, resp *resource.CreateResponse) {
var data resourceExampleModel
resp.Diagnostics.Append(req.Plan.Get(ctx, &data)...)
if resp.Diagnostics.HasError() {
return
}
conn := r.Meta().ExampleClient(ctx)
input := &example.CreateExampleInput{
Name: data.Name.ValueStringPointer(),
}
output, err := conn.CreateExample(ctx, input)
if err != nil {
resp.Diagnostics.AddError(
"Error creating Example",
fmt.Sprintf("Could not create example %s: %s", data.Name.ValueString(), err),
)
return
}
data.ID = types.StringPointerValue(output.Id)
data.ARN = types.StringPointerValue(output.Arn)
resp.Diagnostics.Append(resp.State.Set(ctx, &data)...)
}
Read Operation
func (r *resourceExample) Read(ctx context.Context, req resource.ReadRequest, resp *resource.ReadResponse) {
var data resourceExampleModel
resp.Diagnostics.Append(req.State.Get(ctx, &data)...)
if resp.Diagnostics.HasError() {
return
}
conn := r.Meta().ExampleClient(ctx)
output, err := findExampleByID(ctx, conn, data.ID.ValueString())
if tfresource.NotFound(err) {
resp.Diagnostics.AddWarning(
"Resource not found",
fmt.Sprintf("Example %s not found, removing from state", data.ID.ValueString()),
)
resp.State.RemoveResource(ctx)
return
}
if err != nil {
resp.Diagnostics.AddError(
"Error reading Example",
fmt.Sprintf("Could not read example %s: %s", data.ID.ValueString(), err),
)
return
}
data.Name = types.StringPointerValue(output.Name)
data.ARN = types.StringPointerValue(output.Arn)
resp.Diagnostics.Append(resp.State.Set(ctx, &data)...)
}
Update Operation
func (r *resourceExample) Update(ctx context.Context, req resource.UpdateRequest, resp *resource.UpdateResponse) {
var plan, state resourceExampleModel
resp.Diagnostics.Append(req.Plan.Get(ctx, &plan)...)
resp.Diagnostics.Append(req.State.Get(ctx, &state)...)
if resp.Diagnostics.HasError() {
return
}
conn := r.Meta().ExampleClient(ctx)
if !plan.Description.Equal(state.Description) {
input := &example.UpdateExampleInput{
Id: plan.ID.ValueStringPointer(),
Description: plan.Description.ValueStringPointer(),
}
_, err := conn.UpdateExample(ctx, input)
if err != nil {
resp.Diagnostics.AddError(
"Error updating Example",
fmt.Sprintf("Could not update example %s: %s", plan.ID.ValueString(), err),
)
return
}
}
resp.Diagnostics.Append(resp.State.Set(ctx, &plan)...)
}
Delete Operation
func (r *resourceExample) Delete(ctx context.Context, req resource.DeleteRequest, resp *resource.DeleteResponse) {
var data resourceExampleModel
resp.Diagnostics.Append(req.State.Get(ctx, &data)...)
if resp.Diagnostics.HasError() {
return
}
conn := r.Meta().ExampleClient(ctx)
_, err := conn.DeleteExample(ctx, &example.DeleteExampleInput{
Id: data.ID.ValueStringPointer(),
})
if tfresource.NotFound(err) {
return
}
if err != nil {
resp.Diagnostics.AddError(
"Error deleting Example",
fmt.Sprintf("Could not delete example %s: %s", data.ID.ValueString(), err),
)
return
}
}
Schema Design
Attribute Types
| Terraform Type | Framework Type | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
string |
schema.StringAttribute |
Names, ARNs, IDs |
number |
schema.Int64Attribute, schema.Float64Attribute |
Counts, sizes |
bool |
schema.BoolAttribute |
Feature flags |
list |
schema.ListAttribute |
Ordered collections |
set |
schema.SetAttribute |
Unordered unique items |
map |
schema.MapAttribute |
Key-value pairs |
object |
schema.SingleNestedAttribute |
Complex nested config |
Plan Modifiers
// Force replacement when value changes
stringplanmodifier.RequiresReplace()
// Preserve unknown value during plan
stringplanmodifier.UseStateForUnknown()
// Custom plan modifier
stringplanmodifier.RequiresReplaceIf(
func(ctx context.Context, req planmodifier.StringRequest, resp *stringplanmodifier.RequiresReplaceIfFuncResponse) {
// Custom logic
},
"description",
"markdown description",
)
Validators
// String validators
stringvalidator.LengthBetween(1, 255)
stringvalidator.RegexMatches(regexp.MustCompile(`^[a-z0-9-]+$`), "must be lowercase alphanumeric with hyphens")
stringvalidator.OneOf("option1", "option2", "option3")
// Int64 validators
int64validator.Between(1, 100)
int64validator.AtLeast(1)
int64validator.AtMost(1000)
// List validators
listvalidator.SizeAtLeast(1)
listvalidator.SizeAtMost(10)
Sensitive Attributes
"password": schema.StringAttribute{
Required: true,
Sensitive: true,
Validators: []validator.String{
stringvalidator.LengthAtLeast(8),
},
}
State Management
Handling Resource Not Found
func findExampleByID(ctx context.Context, conn *example.Client, id string) (*example.Example, error) {
input := &example.GetExampleInput{
Id: &id,
}
output, err := conn.GetExample(ctx, input)
if err != nil {
var notFound *types.ResourceNotFoundException
if errors.As(err, ¬Found) {
return nil, &retry.NotFoundError{
LastError: err,
LastRequest: input,
}
}
return nil, err
}
if output == nil || output.Example == nil {
return nil, tfresource.NewEmptyResultError(input)
}
return output.Example, nil
}
Waiting for Resource States
func waitExampleCreated(ctx context.Context, conn *example.Client, id string, timeout time.Duration) (*example.Example, error) {
stateConf := &retry.StateChangeConf{
Pending: []string{"CREATING", "PENDING"},
Target: []string{"ACTIVE", "AVAILABLE"},
Refresh: statusExample(ctx, conn, id),
Timeout: timeout,
}
outputRaw, err := stateConf.WaitForStateContext(ctx)
if output, ok := outputRaw.(*example.Example); ok {
return output, err
}
return nil, err
}
func statusExample(ctx context.Context, conn *example.Client, id string) retry.StateRefreshFunc {
return func() (interface{}, string, error) {
output, err := findExampleByID(ctx, conn, id)
if tfresource.NotFound(err) {
return nil, "", nil
}
if err != nil {
return nil, "", err
}
return output, string(output.Status), nil
}
}
Testing
Basic Acceptance Test
func TestAccExampleResource_basic(t *testing.T) {
ctx := acctest.Context(t)
rName := sdkacctest.RandomWithPrefix(acctest.ResourcePrefix)
resourceName := "provider_example.test"
resource.ParallelTest(t, resource.TestCase{
PreCheck: func() { acctest.PreCheck(ctx, t) },
ProtoV5ProviderFactories: acctest.ProtoV5ProviderFactories,
CheckDestroy: testAccCheckExampleDestroy(ctx),
Steps: []resource.TestStep{
{
Config: testAccExampleConfig_basic(rName),
Check: resource.ComposeTestCheckFunc(
testAccCheckExampleExists(ctx, resourceName),
resource.TestCheckResourceAttr(resourceName, "name", rName),
resource.TestCheckResourceAttrSet(resourceName, "arn"),
),
},
{
ResourceName: resourceName,
ImportState: true,
ImportStateVerify: true,
},
},
})
}
Disappears Test
func TestAccExampleResource_disappears(t *testing.T) {
ctx := acctest.Context(t)
rName := sdkacctest.RandomWithPrefix(acctest.ResourcePrefix)
resourceName := "provider_example.test"
resource.ParallelTest(t, resource.TestCase{
PreCheck: func() { acctest.PreCheck(ctx, t) },
ProtoV5ProviderFactories: acctest.ProtoV5ProviderFactories,
CheckDestroy: testAccCheckExampleDestroy(ctx),
Steps: []resource.TestStep{
{
Config: testAccExampleConfig_basic(rName),
Check: resource.ComposeTestCheckFunc(
testAccCheckExampleExists(ctx, resourceName),
acctest.CheckResourceDisappears(ctx, acctest.Provider, ResourceExample(), resourceName),
),
ExpectNonEmptyPlan: true,
},
},
})
}
Test Helper Functions
func testAccCheckExampleExists(ctx context.Context, name string) resource.TestCheckFunc {
return func(s *terraform.State) error {
rs, ok := s.RootModule().Resources[name]
if !ok {
return fmt.Errorf("Not found: %s", name)
}
conn := acctest.Provider.Meta().(*conns.Client).ExampleClient(ctx)
_, err := findExampleByID(ctx, conn, rs.Primary.ID)
return err
}
}
func testAccCheckExampleDestroy(ctx context.Context) resource.TestCheckFunc {
return func(s *terraform.State) error {
conn := acctest.Provider.Meta().(*conns.Client).ExampleClient(ctx)
for _, rs := range s.RootModule().Resources {
if rs.Type != "provider_example" {
continue
}
_, err := findExampleByID(ctx, conn, rs.Primary.ID)
if tfresource.NotFound(err) {
continue
}
if err != nil {
return err
}
return fmt.Errorf("Example %s still exists", rs.Primary.ID)
}
return nil
}
}
Running Tests
# Compile tests
go test -c -o /dev/null ./internal/service/<service>
# Run acceptance tests
TF_ACC=1 go test ./internal/service/<service> -run TestAccExample -v -timeout 60m
# Run with specific provider version
TF_ACC=1 go test ./internal/service/<service> -run TestAccExample -v
# Run sweeper to clean up
TF_ACC=1 go test ./internal/service/<service> -sweep=<region> -v
Error Handling
Common Error Patterns
// Handle specific API errors
var notFound *types.ResourceNotFoundException
if errors.As(err, ¬Found) {
// Resource doesn't exist
}
var conflict *types.ConflictException
if errors.As(err, &conflict) {
// Resource state conflict
}
var throttle *types.ThrottlingException
if errors.As(err, &throttle) {
// Rate limited - SDK handles retry
}
Diagnostics
// Add error
resp.Diagnostics.AddError(
"Error creating resource",
fmt.Sprintf("Could not create resource: %s", err),
)
// Add warning
resp.Diagnostics.AddWarning(
"Resource modified outside Terraform",
"Resource was modified outside of Terraform, state may be inconsistent",
)
// Add attribute error
resp.Diagnostics.AddAttributeError(
path.Root("name"),
"Invalid name",
"Name must be lowercase alphanumeric",
)

04 同仓库更多 Skills
what-if-oracle
Run structured What-If scenario analysis with multi-branch possibility exploration. Use this skill when the user asks speculative questions like "what if...", "what would happen if...", "what are the possibilities", "explore scenarios", "scenario analysis", "possibility space", "what could go wrong", "best case / worst case", "risk analysis", "contingency planning", "strategic options", or any question about uncertain futures. Also trigger when the user faces a fork-in-the-road decision, wants to stress-test an idea, or needs to think through consequences before committing.
venue-templates
Access comprehensive LaTeX templates, formatting requirements, and submission guidelines for major scientific publication venues (Nature, Science, PLOS, IEEE, ACM), academic conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, CHI), research posters, and grant proposals (NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA). This skill should be used when preparing manuscripts for journal submission, conference papers, research posters, or grant proposals and need venue-specific formatting requirements and templates.
the-fool
Use when challenging ideas, plans, decisions, or proposals using structured critical reasoning. Invoke to play devil's advocate, run a pre-mortem, red team, or audit evidence and assumptions.
scientific-writing
Core skill for the deep research and writing tool. Write scientific manuscripts in full paragraphs (never bullet points). Use two-stage process with (1) section outlines with key points using research-lookup then (2) convert to flowing prose. IMRAD structure, citations (APA/AMA/Vancouver), figures/tables, reporting guidelines (CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA), for research papers and journal submissions.
scientific-brainstorming
Creative research ideation and exploration. Use for open-ended brainstorming sessions, exploring interdisciplinary connections, challenging assumptions, or identifying research gaps. Best for early-stage research planning when you do not have specific observations yet. For formulating testable hypotheses from data use hypothesis-generation.
research-lookup
Look up current research information using the Parallel Chat API (primary) or Perplexity sonar-pro-search (academic paper searches). Automatically routes queries to the best backend. Use for finding papers, gathering research data, and verifying scientific information.
