Hi all, I have simple use-case but it become harder 😞 I use RandomPassword to generate password and save it into variable

user_password = RandomPassword().result

the variable ‘user_password’ I sent to my dynamic resource which only create a query with the ‘user_password’ inside (Eventually is a string ) the problem is that the value is the Object itself

<pulumi.output.Output at 0x7ffe81ffe6d0>

is there a way to export the value i get from randomPassword into a string in run time? 😢 Thanks!

There is, but you probably shouldn't use it. You can use the

apply()

method on the output, which takes a function as a parameter, and the password value will be available inside that function (but not at the top level).

Hi @little-cartoon-10569, I want to use a random password resource with pulumi and send it as string to other function that should read this and put in file I tried to use with apply but unfortunately none of the tries succeed. do you able to solve any kind of this similar issue?

You cannot pass it as a string to another function, except from within an apply. And ideally you should not do that. What sort of function takes the password parameter? If it is a Pulumi constructor, you don't need a string, the output will do fine. If it is anything else, you should either change it (to be a Pulumi constructor), or use an apply. There are many examples of using apply, in the documentation and in the examples repo (https://github.com/Pulumi/examples).
