Wouldn't exporting it and importing it be enough?

I would generally recommend using component resources instead of this approach, however. If you could describe a little more what you're ultimately trying to achieve, it would help me help you

12/13/2021, 3:37 PMThis approach looks goo.d

group your resources togerher using components:

then import them and get the outputs:

12/13/2021, 3:43 PMI feel these two approaches are basically the same. We define a resource and import it to the index.js.
The former is more versatile because it has shared config.

12/13/2021, 11:55 PM@billowy-army-68599 I am interested in that, if there is a way to retrieve a resource based by name.

12/13/2021, 11:55 PMFor example, res = pulumi.getResource(“some-defined-resource-name”)

@echoing-activity-32278 there isn't a way based on the state, but you can
