Getting the output of a DynamicResource doesn t seem to work

Question

Getting the output of a DynamicResource doesn t seem to work as expected in dynamically typed javascript I m setting `myProperty` in the `outs` key of the return value of the provider s `create` method but calling `resource myProperty` returns undefined Inspecting the resource object itself I don t see any values pertaining to `myProperty `

The behaviour here is a little strange but is documented here <https www pulumi com docs reference programming model dynamic resource outputs>

ok so I just need to define the interface and use type annotations

Not quite and I actually see those docs are slightly confusingly phrased The salient part are the `undefined`s in this ``` super myprovider name myStringOutput undefined myNumberOutput unedfiend props opts ```

Any outputs you want to set on the resource object need to be passed as input properties set to `undefined` in the args bag

< white balloon 205> that works great thanks a bunch yes I will say those docs are a bit confusing since they show all the interface and type hints which most people using JavaScript won t be using typically The important bits setting the undefined values in the ctor got lost in the noise But it makes sense now
