Is there any way to make pulumi less greedy when it comes to collecting properties from exported objects? I understand why it would happen but it's not ideal that even

private

properties on classes (in ts) end up in output. I had hoped

registerOutputs

might give pulumi some more sense as to what should actually be exported but alas, it does not. Context: exporting reference to a ComponentResource instance.

Generally: don't export objects from the Pulumi program.

The

private

flag is just a TS thing. It doesn't affect anything at runtime. Try the new

prefix that is a real private field for JS https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Classes/Private_class_fields

But I would still not generally export entire instances, make an object just with the properties you want to export:

Copy code

export const componentFoo = {
  propA: foo.propA,
  propB: foo.propB,
};

I prefer this way, but you can try the

field (I never tried, but I think it should work)

Yeah that makes sense. Though honestly the Component was actually the unit of composition and encapsulation I was hoping I could use as "what should be shared".

Feel like it might fit in with the scope of a component to more explicitly define it's output interface. Will try find time and draft a feature proposal

I don't think it would be feasible. Too much happens in ComponentResource constructors. It's unlikely that a stack reference could construct a ComponentResource without side effects.

And you certainly wouldn't want the resource to be constructed in two projects / stacks.
