Morning all anyone know how to reference complex types acros

Question

Morning all anyone know how to reference complex types across stacks For example i have subnet ids that i want to export from one stack to put in another `Output lt string gt ` doesn t seem to convert well to `Input lt string gt ` using typescript btw

tall-librarian-49374 · Answer

Which input property has the type `Input lt string gt `

powerful-furniture-83753 · Answer

On `awsx ec2 ExistingVpcIdArgs` both fields for subnetIds `privateSubnetIds` `publicSubnetIds`

tall-librarian-49374 · Answer

I suspected it was `awsx` Usually the type would be `pulumi Input lt pulumi Input lt string gt gt ` which looks funky but accepts all combinations of outputs awsx is sometimes missing this

powerful-furniture-83753 · Answer

aaah right Is there any way to coax a conversion so that i can use them

tall-librarian-49374 · Answer

How do you get those outputs Are you using `getSecret`

powerful-furniture-83753 · Answer

no they re via a stack `requireOutput`

tall-librarian-49374 · Answer

Any chance you can `await ref requireOutputValue `

it s top level atm i mean i could do a then on the promise and do the rest of the code in a function Not ideal tho

Yeah this is a known challenge <https github com pulumi pulumi awsx issues 522>

powerful-furniture-83753 · Answer

My solution to this was to merge projects and just pass the Vpc around So far so good only one project needs Vpcs the others usually need individual subnetIds

Here is an example of passing around subnet id s from one stack to another <https github com pulumi examples tree master aws ts vpc with ecs fargate py>

< cool fireman 90027> thanks unfortunately as discussed above the issue is in `awsx ec2 ExistingVpcIdArgs` taking a wrong input type so that the subnet arrays being passed around don t work
