We can register additional resource outputs with `register o

Question

We can register additional resource outputs with `register output` as explained here <https www pulumi com docs intro concepts resources components registering component outputs> How can we hide outputs I want to make it so that my custom components only expose a small subset of their outputs to ensure we don t accidentally develop a dependency on something unstable

Don t make them `public`

There is no relationship between registered outputs and code that developers can use Registered outputs is a Pulumi internal concept used for finalizing dependencies and update the graph in the CLI and resource widgets Pulumi service

gt There is no relationship between registered outputs and code that developers can use What do you mean Our stacks can t access a value from a previously deployed stack unless it was exported and when you export a component it exposes every registered output

polite-ocean-13631 · Answer

Or does it just attempt to expose every attribute That seems to be the case

The docs say we should call `register output` no matter what at the end of ` init ` When would it matter whether we do or not

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

The component method register outputs isn t related to stack outputs It s only about component outputs

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

There s a separate list of stack exports that you get to explicitly choose in your main project file

Thanks for the example I was mixing up those two concepts

I have a class that produces many `Output` wrapped objects Should they all be passed into `register output` Does it really matter
