Is it more idiomatic in Python to use the

args=

keyword and pass in an instantiated WhateverArgs class or use each arg from that class in the constructor of the resource? I notice a lot of TypeScript examples have the second parameter be the entire object of args (class), but a lot of python examples use the named keyword arguments of args as part of the resources' constructor arguments...

I think probably more idiomatic python is to use the kwargs. The args= instantiated WhateverArgs were added on as an alternative interface in scenarios where folks wanted to pass around a bag of

Args

to multiple constructors. Kinda up to you what path you choose, but I imagine the examples were created before we added on the

WhateverArgs

way of doing things, which explains why they almost exclusively use kwargs

Understood. The bag of Args does sound handy for being able to template and not have to pass them into constructors using

**

dictionary syntax for unpacking and maybe, mentally, keeps in line with how TypeScript is also passing in these arguments. So maybe, arguably, if you had both TS and Python code bases, using

args

might keep things consistent from a mental perspective when conjuring up resources. I'll think on whether I want to start using

args

kw or not.

At the end of the day the best interface to use is the one that works best for you, and that's why we have the option to do either!
