Question

Hey there complete Pulumi noob here about to get thrown into a project was wondering why it is when I try this ```import as awsx from pulumi awsx Allocate a new VPC with the default settings const vpc = new awsx ec2 Vpc custom Export a few resulting fields to make them easy to use export const vpcId = vpc id export const vpcPrivateSubnetIds = vpc privateSubnetIds export const vpcPublicSubnetIds = vpc publicSubnetIds ``` from here <https www pulumi com docs guides crosswalk aws vpc > I get this error ```index ts 6 13 error TS2554 Expected 2 3 arguments but got 1 ``` It s referring to this line ```const vpc = new awsx ec2 Vpc custom ``` Any feedback is appreciated

The example on the API page is better <https www pulumi com docs reference pkg nodejs pulumi awsx ec2 >

The constructor s formal parameters are `constructor name string args VpcArgs | ExistingVpcArgs | ExistingVpcIdArgs opts pulumi ComponentResourceOptions ` So you must have the args parameter no ` ` after `args` It looks like you can give it an empty args parameter though haven t tried it since the cidrBlock argument is essential for my use cases
