My use case is that I have a `Queue` and a `CallbackFunction

Question

My use case is that I have a `Queue` and a `CallbackFunction` defined and I want to add the `CallbackFunction` as the `Queue` s event source I m trying to use the `queue onEvent` method to do so but I m required to give the `onEvent` a name for the source mapping I would like that name to just be my lambda s name and the word `Event` at the end of it How can I achieve that

This isn t possible no If you need to explicitly name a resource in the upstream provider s api you can set the name property on that resource but the resource name itself has to be known at runtime

That makes tooling around Pulumi rather hard to do

The current solution I m investigating is wrapping Pulumi resources in a custom builder class that will eventually build the Pulumi resources but still leaves me access to the raw properties

I m getting a sense from the questions you re asking that you re using Pulumi as an SDK are you aware of the state declarative model of Pulumi The reason you cant use outputs as resource names is because if you do the downstream resource can t be created until the output is resolved which breaks the dependency graph

< billowy army 68599> I see I m not really trying to use Pulumi as a SDK I guess what I m trying to do is to build constructs around Pulumi These constructs just encapsulates logic and configure the underlying resources Do you think it is a bad pattern
