The template resources don't actually need to retain any state, so they are good candidates to be data sources. This includes a few tweaks to the acceptance tests -- now configured to run as unit tests -- since it seems that they have been slightly broken for a while now. In particular, the "update" cases are no longer tested because updating is not a meaningful operation for a data source.

# Template Provider
|
|
|
|
The template provider exposes data sources to use templates to generate
|
|
strings for other Terraform resources or outputs.
|
|
|
|
Use the navigation to the left to read about the available data sources.
|
|
|
|
## Example Usage
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# Template for initial configuration bash script
|
|
data "template_file" "init" {
|
|
template = "${file("init.tpl")}"
|
|
|
|
vars {
|
|
consul_address = "${aws_instance.consul.private_ip}"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
# Create a web server
|
|
resource "aws_instance" "web" {
|
|
# ...
|
|
|
|
user_data = "${data.template_file.init.rendered}"
|
|
}
|
|
```
