06/04/2019, 8:54 PMWith Javascript, if I have 3 files importing a vpc resource from a vpc.js file - will it create 3 different VPCs? Or will it share one VPC? I'd like for it to share one VPC but able to abstract the VPC out into a file that other files can share.

06/04/2019, 9:18 PMSomeone else can articulate it better than me, but the way imports are handled it will essentially result in one vpc getting created and shared.

06/04/2019, 10:05 PM[pure speculation] it probably depends on how you're consuming the vpc.js~ - if you're consuming it from multiple states, it's going to create one per state. if it's from the same state, it's going to know about it.
I think there's some way to share state/state knowledge, but I haven't gotten back to that problem myself yet.

06/05/2019, 2:05 AMWell, yes and no.

06/05/2019, 2:05 AMDepends on what you export.

06/05/2019, 2:07 AMThe better way to think about this is that you’re creating a single object and exporting it. If you created a function that returns a VPC and called it multiple times you’d get multiple VPCs.
