terraform-provider-nats

Terraform provider for nats messaging system.

Example

provider "nats" {}

resource "nats_stream" "orders_stream" {
    name      = "orders"
    subjects  = ["order.*"]
    discard   = "new"
    retention = "interest"
}

resource "nats_consumer" "new_order_consumer" {
   stream_name     = nats_stream.orders_stream.name
   name            = "new_order_consumer" 
   mode            = "pull"
   ack_policy      = "explicit"
   filter_subjects = ["orders.created"]
}

output "orders_stream" {
    value = nats_stream.orders_stream
}

output "new_order_consumer" {
    value = nats_consumer.new_order_consumer
}

Requirements

• Terraform >= 1.0
• Go >= 1.20

Building The Provider

1. Clone the repository
2. Enter the repository directory
3. Build the provider using the Go install command:

go install
# Should be installed as `terraform-nats-provider` binary
which terraform-nats-provider

Using the provider

NOT REGISTERED YET TO REGISTRY.

You can use it locally by:

1. Creating the file ~/.terraformrc and adding the below to it.

provider_installation {

  dev_overrides {
      "registry.terraform.io/AhmadElsagheer/nats" = "/path/to/terraform-nats-provider/binary"
  }

  # For all other providers, install them directly from their origin provider
  # registries as normal. If you omit this, Terraform will _only_ use
  # the dev_overrides block, and so no other providers will be available.
  direct {}
}

2. Adding the below to your terraform project.

terraform {
    required_providers {
        nats = {
            source = "registry.terraform.io/AhmadElsagheer/nats"
        }
    }
}

Check examples and docs for how to use.

Developing the Provider

If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need Go installed on your machine (see Requirements above).

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

To generate or update documentation, run go generate.

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

TODOs

• Write unit tests
• Add logging
• Add to terraform public registry
