terraform-cdk-provider-snowflake

terraform-cdk-provider-snowflake is a custom provider built on top of terraform-provider-snowflake by Snowflake Labs. This repo is automatically updated by Github Actions each time Snowflake Labs creates a new release for terraform-provider-snowflake. You can find the original repository here: terraform-provider-snowflake.

How it Works

The project automates the creation of a Terraform CDK library in TypeScript based on terraform-provider-snowflake by Snowflake Labs. Here's how it works:

1. The latest version of terraform-provider-snowflake is cloned from the Snowflake Labs repository.
2. README files for each of the resources are parsed to extract information.
3. This information is then used to generate TypeScript interfaces.
4. The resources and their parameters are organized from these interfaces into a JSON file located at tools/snowflake_resources.json.
5. Template files, located in tools/templates, are used to loop through the JSON data and create a TypeScript file for each resource.
6. All generated files in src/snowflake_resources are compiled into dist/snowflake_resources.

Getting Started

To rebuild all Snowflake resource files, follow these steps:

1. Run npm install to install the necessary dependencies.
2. Execute the main.js script by running node main.js to generate the Terraform CDK files.

After Generating Files - Using This Provider

• Go to Snowflake Labs Releases
• Find the latest release and download the appropriate zip file (this example uses the linux_amd64 architecture)
• Unzip the file and extract the terraform-provider-snowflake_v<VERSION> file
• Copy the file into ~/.terraform.d/plugins/terraform-cdk-provider-snowflake/<VERSION>/<ARCHITECTURE>/
• Clone this repo down into the desired project

Example Copying Provider File from Downloads Folder to Correct Directory Using linux_amd64 and Version 0.72.0

• mkdir -p ~/.terraform.d/plugins/terraform-provider-snowflake/0.72.0/linux_amd64 && cp /mnt/c/Users/<YOUR USER NAME>/Downloads/terraform-provider-snowflake_v0.72.0 ~/.terraform.d/plugins/terraform-provider-snowflake/0.72.0/linux_amd64
