Hi. I'm learning about

pulumi dynamic resource provider

. Is there any chance to pass

pulumi.Resource

as an

Input

parameter to another

pulumi.Resource

? Example (Foo resource passed as an Input to Bar resource inputs):

# Foo Resource
class Foo(Resource):
    foo_out_1: Output[str]
    foo_out_2: Output[str]
    foo_out_3: Output[str]

    def __init__(self, name: str, props: FooInputs, opts=None) -> None:
        super().__init__(FooProvider(),
                         name=name,
                         props={
                             **vars(props),
                         },
                         opts=opts)
        
        

# Bar Resource     
class BarInputs:
    name: Input[str]
    foo_resource: Input[Foo]  #<-- Passed Foo resource as an Input 


class BarProvider(ResourceProvider):
    def create(self, args):
        print(args['foo_resource'])
        # Expected output:
        # {
        #     "foo_out_1": "value1",
        #     "foo_out_2": "value2",
        #     "foo_out_3": "value3",
        # }

Hi Piotr! Fancy seeing you here! Normally, you’d pass an ID so the chain of dependencies is very clear. This is also how most Pulumi objects would do it. Can you let me know why you would want to pass the entire object?

Hi @billowy-engine-58246. Lets say my

Bar

Resource needs 3 parameters related to

Foo

resource. Then I think it will be more user friendly to write:

Bar(
    name="my_resource_name",
    foo_object=foo_resource,
)

rather than

Bar(
    name="my_resource_name",
    foo_input_1=foo_resource.foo_out_1,
    foo_input_2=foo_resource.foo_out_2,
    foo_input_3=foo_resource.foo_out_3,
)
