Hey! Would like to know what's the best way to share information between multiple stacks. In my
dev
stack I create a CosmosDB, get the connection string, and then create a new AppService using the connection string. Then in my
tests
stack I would like to create a new AppService (in a different resource group but same subscription) and also reference the CosmosDB connection string from
dev
. Here's a beautiful drawing showing it. :D

use the getX() function and give it the name and resourcegroup and it will retrieve the details
like azure.cosmos.getAccount()
then you can access the other properties it's read from azure

is it possible to use StackReference if you use pulumi with local logins instead of cloud

@better-rainbow-14549 To use the GetX() function, I need the resource-name and the id, right? How I could get the Id in runtime?

no you don't need the ID
azure.cosmosdb.getAccount({ name: "mycosmos", resourceGroup: "myresourcegroup" })

@gentle-diamond-70147 Was trying to avoid using it because currently triyng the C# lib and it doesn't seems to be available, but if necessary going to try other library

StackReference is available in C# I believe and should work with local logins.

@better-rainbow-14549 Can't find something like that in the C# lib tho.
@gentle-diamond-70147 Cool, going to take a look! 🙂 thanks

x.get() take the ID and are used internally by pulumi, but cosmos.getAccount() is separate (it exists in the nodejs package anyway)
