is it possible to perform any processing of

Input<T>

values? I'm passing an

Input<aws.ecs.Secret[]>

to a module i'm writing and I want to do some processing on the various values of

valueFrom

within the

aws.ecs.Secret[]

so I can collate them into a list of secret ARNs to add to an IAM policy. i can see heaps of docs on using

Output<T>

via

apply()

etc but there doesn't seem to be any documentation (that I can find) about working with

Input<T>

Use

pulumi.output(yourInput).apply(value => {});

ah ok - thanks. is this the intended way to use

Input<T>

, if so, why does the

Input<T>

type exist couldn't everything just be

Output<T>

?

Input can be OutputInstance<T>, Promise<T> or T. It's broader

cool, makes sense - thanks for the explanation 👍

It allows the Pulumi SDK to define parameters (especially inside the various args objects) as (for example)

Input<string>

. That way the string could come from another resource (Output<string>) or a constant (string).
