terraform-plugin-framework-type-rfc3339

PkgGoDev

RFC 3339 timestamp string type and value implementations for terraform-plugin-framework. These types automatically include syntax validation and support Go standard library time.Time conversion.

Status

Experimental: This project is not officially maintained by HashiCorp.

Prerequisites

This Go module tracks recent versions of terraform-plugin-framework for Go version and interface compatibility.

Getting Started

Schema

Replace usage of types.StringType in schema definitions with rfc3339type.Type{}.

Given the previous schema attribute:

tfsdk.Attribute{
    Required: true,
    Type:     types.StringType,
    // Potentially previous Validators
}

The updated schema attribute:

tfsdk.Attribute{
    Required: true,
    Type:     rfc3339type.Type{},
}

Schema Data Model

Replace usage of string, *string, or types.String in schema data models with rfc3339type.Value.

Given the previous schema data model:

type ThingResourceModel struct {
    // ...
    Example types.String `tfsdk:"example"`
}

The updated schema data model:

type ThingResourceModel struct {
    // ...
    Example rfc3339type.Value `tfsdk:"example"`
}

Accessing Values

Similar to other value types, use the IsNull() and IsUnknown() methods to check whether the value is null or unknown. Use the Time() method to extract a known time.Time value.

Writing Values

Create a rfc3339type.Value by calling one of these functions:

  • NullValue() Value: creates a null value.
  • UnknownValue() Value: creates an unknown value.
  • StringValue(string, path.Path) (Value, diag.Diagnostics): creates a known value using the given string or returns validation errors if string is not in the expected RFC 3339 format.
  • TimeValue(time.Time) Value creates a known value using the given time.Time.

Adding the Dependency

All functionality is located in the github.com/bflad/terraform-plugin-framework-type-rfc3339/rfc3339type package. Add this to relevant Go file import statements.
