A long String With multiple Lines

agreeable-ram-97887 · Answer

even when inserting resource IDs and such from other dynamic resources

agreeable-ram-97887 · Answer

And if im not mistaken these lines should remove all indentation If so that will lead to some not so pretty code But I guess that s alright shrug TBH I was hoping Pulumi had some sort of elegant helper object for this to avoid having to write yaml in python

but anyway thanks < billowy army 68599>

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

you could construct the YAML from a dict using the standard YAML function of your language

here s an example in typescript but the idea is the same in python

agreeable-ram-97887 · Answer

yeah normally that is what I would do But specifically the multi line literals seemed to be the crux there since I don t think it can be expressed with a simple dictionary see no evil If I m not mistaken the examples you provided don t include this either although I m not super great as TS so maybe I m missing it

agreeable-ram-97887 · Answer

btw going about it the way leads to some weird code structure One can t easily read the yaml anymore But it works sweat smile

agreeable-ram-97887 · Answer

To connect this with which < billowy army 68599> was also helpful with pray it s possible that using a would have been the better way to go here rather than resorting to fully re building the yaml file s contents
