is there a standard practice for validating inputs into a component that are passed in as `pulumi.StringInput` types in go?  I know I could just make them a `string` and validate them but there may be cases where they could be supplied by the end user or as an output from like a data source.  So I wasn't sure how to validate them when they are `pulumi.StringInput` values...  do I need to do a `.ToStringOutput().ApplyT()` and validate within the applier?

yes, that's the way you'd have to do it - inside the `ApplyT`

sorry just saw the reply to your other thread, apologies for the delay!

if there's an error, how do I actually return it? I only see a `pulumi.Output` as a return value

i thought somewhere i saw a func returning an error as well

or do i just `throw` and error and catch it outside then

NVM think i figured it out... code complete wasn't showing the alternate FN signature
