You can use `pulumi.output("value")` to turn it into a `pulumi.Input&lt;string&gt;`. You'd have to loop over your array and construct your dict using `pulumi.output`, then after the loop wrap the entire dict in `pulumi.output`.

To create an object compatible with `{ [key: string]: pulumi.Input&lt;string&gt; }` you should be able to start with an `any`. Something like `var dict: any = {}`.
Then when adding values, use the array-style notation `dict["newvar"] = pulumi.output("newval");`

Once you've got it working, you could figure out the correct stronger-type for the `any`, but I'm not sure it'd be worth it...

Note that you might not need to wrap things in `pulumi.output()`, since `pulumi.Input&lt;string&gt;` is a union type of both `string` and `pulumi.Output&lt;string&gt;`. However I have found that working with `pulumi.output()` when solving this sort of issue helps me remember which bits are which. You may be able to remove `pulumi.output()` once you've got things working and strengthened your typescript-fu ;)

see my next question, the problem is really with the index call.
