Can anyone explain what is the purpose of the

args: Inputs

argument of the

ComponentResource

constructor? From the docs it is not really clear.

new ComponentResource(type: string, name: string, args: Inputs, opts: ComponentResourceOptions, remote: boolean)

args

Information passed to [initialize] method.

When should we pass a value to

args

that is not the empty object?

You would do this when you want your component to behave differently based on different inputs. For example, the ECS Task Definition Component in awsx accepts TaskDefinitionArgs which are then passed through to the child resources it contains

Alright. Ok. Thank you @red-match-15116 🙏
