Hi! Is it possible to store a list as a configuration value? I would like to store a list of GCP API services for GCP project as a configuration entry (a list of strings).

You can transform....anytime a comasepareted string into a list with a small trick

this is python :wink: I think there should be a solution in Typescript too, but that is not my field...

Thanks <@UEYR6QM5X>, yes, I can use a comma-separated entries in a string. I was wondering if there was a first-class list of values feature :slightly_smiling_face:

Pulumi config is pretty flat..at the moment...but you can use your own yaml config if you would like that. I was thinking also, but I chose this way to stay close to Pulumi

There's some background on this question at <https://pulumi-community.slack.com/archives/C84L4E3N1/p1541521827485400?thread_ts=1541491030.477400&amp;cid=C84L4E3N1>.

We're also tracking adding first class support for richer config types in <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/2306>.

There is also support for `config.getObject` which does JSON de-serialization of values so that you can import rich JSON-formatted values easily (including arrays).  See <https://pulumi.io/reference/programming-model.html#config>.

Though, to support simple CLI configuration, I personally normally handle arrays just with `.split(",")`.
