Receipt terraform example provider

What?

This is a terraform provider to serve as example. This will give an API to generate receipts based on a terraform provider.

First step in this journey was to install go language. For that you can just follow something like this.

Next we need to init this as a go module this is basically to help us to manage go dependencies.

For this first step we ended with

go mod init balhau.net/receita-provider

the output of this command was the creation of the go.mod file.

Since the goal here is to build a terraform provider we must add the terraform libraries needed for that. This can be achieved with

go get github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-framework

After this command we ended with the following line

require github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-framework v1.4.2 // indirect

added to our go.mod file. A go.sum, containing the checksum of the download dependencies, is also created
