Does the arg structure need to be flat and use

pulumi.Input

types? I'm using typescript but am curious about Go, too. It looks like Go has a converter https://github.com/jaxxstorm/runmydamncontainer/blob/64064f31565fb96157387202a854a4af1ffdf083/provider/pkg/provider/provider.go#L65 Option A - flat with pulumi types:

export interface StaticPageArgs {
    indexContent: pulumi.Input<string>;
}

Or can there be more complex inputs that use standard language (eg. typescript) types or previously defined types? For example, if I wanted to create a cloudfront distribution where the user can access ~ most ~ of the ordinary Cloudfront config arguments, would something like this work? Option B:

import { DistributionArgs } from '@pulumi/aws/cloudfront';

export interface StaticPageArgs {
  indexContent: pulumi.Input<string>;
  someRandomHardcodedConfigValue: number;

  // cloudfront distribution args would be available at `args.cloudfront`
  cloudfront: DistributionArgs;
}

Option B reeemixx:

import { DistributionArgs } from '@pulumi/aws/cloudfront';

export interface StaticPageArgs extends DistributionArgs{
  indexContent: pulumi.Input<string>;

  //Cloudfront Distribution args would be available here at the root of args
}

Option C:

import { DistributionArgs } from '@pulumi/aws/cloudfront';

export interface StaticPageArgs extends DistributionArgs{
  indexContent: pulumi.Input<string>;
  
  // only provide the user with very limited sets of options because pulumi wants to provide heavily
  // opinionated "best practice" components
  cloudfrontName: pulumi.Input<string>;
}

@white-balloon-205 do you have an answer here? I don't 😞

After taking a look at how the underlying cloudfront CustomResource works [1], it seems like pulumi.Input can wrap standard typescript types (eg.

<<http://pulumi.as>|pulumi.Input<string>

as> well as other nested types (eg.

Pulumi.Input<inputs.cloudfront.DistributionDefaultCacheBehavior>

where inputs.cloudfront.DistributionCacheBehavior is defined in the

./types/input

file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/master/sdk/nodejs/types/input.ts [1] https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/blob/master/sdk/nodejs/cloudfront/distribution.ts

you should be able to find them in here: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/blob/master/provider/cmd/pulumi-resource-aws/schema.json

that particular one is awscloudfront/distributionDistribution
