Question

`pulumi Outputs` question tied to `resource name` I would like to have a `resource name` by dynamic and tied to a `function` that is taking a `Output` as parameter e g ```def some func database name Output str schema Output str snowflake SchemaGrant f database database name schema schema privilege one privilege future false role hash database name=database name privilege=one privilege roles=roles schema name=schema with grant option=False ``` In this specific case I m trying to write a generic function that will creates schema s using the Snowflake provider but in principle this question should be applicable to any resource It seems like the `resource name` should be a `str` and using the `Output` just causes the resource name to have something like ` lt pulumi output Output object at 0x111f482d0 gt schema lt pulumi output Output object at 0x111f51290 gt privilege CREATE` instead of the actual name of the Output Note that the Output is already known in this case I also tried using `apply` For e g ``` all outputs = pulumi Output all database name schema all outputs apply inner where inner function just encapsulates the real work``` the only way i could think of is using two `apply` one inside the other for the two outputs to resolve this I m hoping there is a better way or I m missing something in my understanding of using `Outputs`

i guess another way to ask my question would be can resource names be dynamic and dependent on Output of previous resources

`Output all` seems to have worked though would be good to discuss with experts here whether this is the correct approach e g ```def snowflake db table grant future access database name Output str schema Output str privileges list roles list Grant access to a list of privileges for a schema to a list of roles def inner all outputs Output List Output inner database name = all outputs 0 inner schema = all outputs 1 role hash = abs hash str roles for one privilege in privileges snowflake TableGrant f inner database name schema inner schema table privilege one privilege future true role hash database name=database name privilege=one privilege roles=roles schema name=schema on future=True all outputs = pulumi Output all database name schema all outputs apply inner ``` when i call the above function resources are now created with correct values for the `database name` and `schema name` though I guess in really they can even be thought of as CONSTANTS shrug

gt i guess another way to ask my question would be can resource names be dynamic and dependent on Output of previous resources Not really You can put the whole resource inside an apply but that has problems with previews and update plans
