# Receita 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.
|
|
|
|
## How?
|
|
|
|
First step in this journey was to install go language. For that you can just follow something like [this](https://go.dev/doc/install).
|
|
|
|
Next we need to init this as a [go module](https://go.dev/doc/tutorial/create-module) this is basically to help us to manage go dependencies.
|
|
|
|
For this first step we ended with
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
go get
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To be able to use this terraform plugin you'll need to build this go project with
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
go build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And then move the binary into your terraform plugin directory, something like this
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
~/.terraform.d/plugins/terraform.local/local/receita/1.0.0/darwin_amd64/receita-provider
|
|
```
