This guide covers developing Terraform Provider resources and data sources. Resources represent infrastructure objects that Terraform manages through Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) operations.
Use the Plugin Framework
for all net-new resources and data sources. Plugin SDKv2 is for maintaining
resources that already exist on it; do not write new code against it. A
provider can serve both during migration by muxing
(terraform-plugin-mux),
so adopting the Framework never requires a big-bang rewrite. To tell which
mode an existing provider is in, check go.mod: terraform-plugin-mux
present means it serves both SDKv2 and Framework code; only
terraform-plugin-sdk/v2 means SDKv2-only; only
terraform-plugin-framework means Framework-only. Be cautious about
migrating existing SDKv2 resources: the Framework distinguishes null from
zero values, so naive migrations change behavior for existing users (use the
provider-framework-migration skill, if available).

references/design-principles.md — what should (and should not) become a
resource; data source semantics; relationship and async-task modelingreferences/retries-and-waiters.md — eventual consistency, retry

Large multi-service providers (e.g. terraform-provider-aws) split into
internal/service/<service>/ packages instead, with an idiomatic file
taxonomy worth adopting once a package grows: consts.go, find.go
(finders), status.go (status functions), wait.go (waiters), sweep.go
(test sweepers), exports_test.go.
Documentation lives in docs/ and is generated with tfplugindocs:
docs/
├── resources/<name>.md # generated; optional <name>.md.tmpl template
└── data-sources/<name>.md
(Hand-written website/docs/r/*.html.markdown trees exist in some older,
large providers — follow the target repo's convention when editing one.)
A Framework resource is a struct holding the API client, with interface assertions making the implemented behaviors explicit:
var (
_ resource.Resource = &widgetResource{}
_ resource.ResourceWithConfigure = &widgetResource{}
_ resource.ResourceWithImportState = &widgetResource{}
)
func NewWidgetResource() resource.Resource {
return &widgetResource{}
}
type widgetResource struct {
client *examplecloud.Client
}
func (r *widgetResource) Metadata(_ context.Context, req resource.MetadataRequest, resp *resource.MetadataResponse) {
resp.TypeName = req.ProviderTypeName + "_widget"
}
// Configure receives the client the provider built in its own Configure.
func (r *widgetResource) Configure(_ context.Context, req resource.ConfigureRequest, resp *resource.ConfigureResponse) {
if req.ProviderData == nil {
return // provider not yet configured (e.g. validation phase)
}
client, ok := req.ProviderData.(*examplecloud.Client)
if !ok {
resp.Diagnostics.AddError(
"Unexpected Resource Configure Type",
fmt.Sprintf("Expected *examplecloud.Client, got: %T.", req.ProviderData),
)
return
}
r.client = client
}
func (r *widgetResource) Schema(ctx context.Context, req resource.SchemaRequest, resp *resource.SchemaResponse) {
resp.Schema = schema.Schema{
Attributes: map[string]schema.Attribute{
"name": schema.StringAttribute{
Required: true,
PlanModifiers: []planmodifier.String{
stringplanmodifier.RequiresReplace(),
},
Validators: []validator.String{
stringvalidator.LengthBetween(1, 255),
},
},
"id": schema.StringAttribute{
Computed: true,
PlanModifiers: []planmodifier.String{
stringplanmodifier.UseStateForUnknown(),
},
},
},
}
}
How the provider's Configure produces that client — schema, credential
resolution, validation — is covered by the provider-configuration skill
(if available).
On id: SDKv2 required a magic id attribute; the Framework does not.
If the API has its own identifier, expose it under its real meaning and do
not add a second, redundant id. Only keep id when it is the API's
identifier (as above).
func (r *widgetResource) Create(ctx context.Context, req resource.CreateRequest, resp *resource.CreateResponse) {
var data widgetResourceModel
resp.Diagnostics.Append(req.Plan.Get(ctx, &data)...)
if resp.Diagnostics.HasError() {
return
}
input := &examplecloud.CreateWidgetInput{
Name: data.Name.ValueStringPointer(),
}
output, err := r.client.CreateWidget(ctx, input)
if err != nil {
resp.Diagnostics.AddError(
"Error creating Widget",
fmt.Sprintf("creating Widget (%s): %s", data.Name.ValueString(), err),
)
return
}
data.ID = types.StringPointerValue(output.ID)
// For eventually consistent APIs, wait for the resource to be usable
// before returning — see references/retries-and-waiters.md.
resp.Diagnostics.Append(resp.State.Set(ctx, &data)...)
}
Read must handle out-of-band deletion by removing the resource from state so the next plan recreates it, rather than erroring forever:
func (r *widgetResource) Read(ctx context.Context, req resource.ReadRequest, resp *resource.ReadResponse) {
var data widgetResourceModel
resp.Diagnostics.Append(req.State.Get(ctx, &data)...)
if resp.Diagnostics.HasError() {
return
}
output, err := findWidgetByID(ctx, r.client, data.ID.ValueString())
if isNotFound(err) {
tflog.Warn(ctx, "Widget not found, removing from state", map[string]any{"id": data.ID.ValueString()})
resp.State.RemoveResource(ctx)
return
}
if err != nil {
resp.Diagnostics.AddError(
"Error reading Widget",
fmt.Sprintf("reading Widget (%s): %s", data.ID.ValueString(), err),
)
return
}
data.Name = types.StringPointerValue(output.Name)
resp.Diagnostics.Append(resp.State.Set(ctx, &data)...)
}
Only call the API for attributes that actually changed; compare plan against state:
func (r *widgetResource) Update(ctx context.Context, req resource.UpdateRequest, resp *resource.UpdateResponse) {
var plan, state widgetResourceModel
resp.Diagnostics.Append(req.Plan.Get(ctx, &plan)...)
resp.Diagnostics.Append(req.State.Get(ctx, &state)...)
if resp.Diagnostics.HasError() {
return
}
if !plan.Description.Equal(state.Description) {
input := &examplecloud.UpdateWidgetInput{
ID: plan.ID.ValueStringPointer(),
Description: plan.Description.ValueStringPointer(),
}
if _, err := r.client.UpdateWidget(ctx, input); err != nil {
resp.Diagnostics.AddError(
"Error updating Widget",
fmt.Sprintf("updating Widget (%s): %s", plan.ID.ValueString(), err),
)
return
}
}
resp.Diagnostics.Append(resp.State.Set(ctx, &plan)...)
}
Treat "already gone" as success — the desired end state is reached:
func (r *widgetResource) Delete(ctx context.Context, req resource.DeleteRequest, resp *resource.DeleteResponse) {
var data widgetResourceModel
resp.Diagnostics.Append(req.State.Get(ctx, &data)...)
if resp.Diagnostics.HasError() {
return
}
_, err := r.client.DeleteWidget(ctx, &examplecloud.DeleteWidgetInput{
ID: data.ID.ValueStringPointer(),
})
if isNotFound(err) {
return
}
if err != nil {
resp.Diagnostics.AddError(
"Error deleting Widget",
fmt.Sprintf("deleting Widget (%s): %s", data.ID.ValueString(), err),
)
return
}
}
With ResourceWithImportState asserted, passthrough of the identifier is
one line:
func (r *widgetResource) ImportState(ctx context.Context, req resource.ImportStateRequest, resp *resource.ImportStateResponse) {
resource.ImportStatePassthroughID(ctx, path.Root("id"), req, resp)
}
For multi-part identifiers, parse a delimited import ID (commonly comma-separated) and set each attribute explicitly.
Before implementing, check the shape of the thing being modeled (full
treatment in references/design-principles.md):
| Terraform Type | Framework Type | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
string | schema.StringAttribute | Names, identifiers |
number | schema.Int64Attribute, schema.Float64Attribute | Counts, sizes |
bool | schema.BoolAttribute | Feature flags |
list | schema.ListAttribute | Ordered collections |
set | schema.SetAttribute | Unordered unique items |
map | schema.MapAttribute | Key-value pairs |
object | schema.SingleNestedAttribute | Complex nested config |
Give every attribute a MarkdownDescription — tfplugindocs publishes it,
and it is the primary user-facing documentation.
// Force replacement when value changes
stringplanmodifier.RequiresReplace()
// Keep a known value during plan instead of (known after apply)
stringplanmodifier.UseStateForUnknown()
stringvalidator.LengthBetween(1, 255)
stringvalidator.RegexMatches(regexp.MustCompile(`^[a-z0-9-]+$`), "must be lowercase alphanumeric with hyphens")
stringvalidator.OneOf("small", "medium", "large")
int64validator.Between(1, 100)
listvalidator.SizeAtLeast(1)

# Terraform Provider Resources Implementation Guide
## Overview
This guide covers developing Terraform Provider resources and data sources.
Resources represent infrastructure objects that Terraform manages through
Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) operations.
**Use the [Plugin Framework](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/plugin/framework)
for all net-new resources and data sources.** Plugin SDKv2 is for maintaining
resources that already exist on it; do not write new code against it. A
provider can serve both during migration by muxing
([terraform-plugin-mux](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/plugin/mux)),
so adopting the Framework never requires a big-bang rewrite. To tell which
mode an existing provider is in, check `go.mod`: `terraform-plugin-mux`
present means it serves both SDKv2 and Framework code; only
`terraform-plugin-sdk/v2` means SDKv2-only; only
`terraform-plugin-framework` means Framework-only. Be cautious about
*migrating* existing SDKv2 resources: the Framework distinguishes null from
zero values, so naive migrations change behavior for existing users (use the
`provider-framework-migration` skill, if available).
**References** (load when needed):
- `references/design-principles.md` — what should (and should not) become a
resource; data source semantics; relationship and async-task modeling
- `references/retries-and-waiters.md` — eventual consistency, retry
patterns, and status/wait function structure
## File Structure
Most providers keep every resource in a single package:
```
internal/provider/
├── provider.go # Provider schema + Configure
├── widget_resource.go # Resource implementation
├── widget_resource_test.go # Acceptance tests
├── widget_data_source.go # Data source (if applicable)
└── widget_data_source_test.go
```
Large multi-service providers (e.g. terraform-provider-aws) split into
`internal/service/<service>/` packages instead, with an idiomatic file
taxonomy worth adopting once a package grows: `consts.go`, `find.go`
(finders), `status.go` (status functions), `wait.go` (waiters), `sweep.go`
(test sweepers), `exports_test.go`.
Documentation lives in `docs/` and is generated with `tfplugindocs`:
```
docs/
├── resources/<name>.md # generated; optional <name>.md.tmpl template
└── data-sources/<name>.md
```
(Hand-written `website/docs/r/*.html.markdown` trees exist in some older,
large providers — follow the target repo's convention when editing one.)
## Resource Structure
A Framework resource is a struct holding the API client, with interface
assertions making the implemented behaviors explicit:
```go
var (
_ resource.Resource = &widgetResource{}
_ resource.ResourceWithConfigure = &widgetResource{}
_ resource.ResourceWithImportState = &widgetResource{}
)
func NewWidgetResource() resource.Resource {
return &widgetResource{}
}
type widgetResource struct {
client *examplecloud.Client
}
func (r *widgetResource) Metadata(_ context.Context, req resource.MetadataRequest, resp *resource.MetadataResponse) {
resp.TypeName = req.ProviderTypeName + "_widget"
}
// Configure receives the client the provider built in its own Configure.
func (r *widgetResource) Configure(_ context.Context, req resource.ConfigureRequest, resp *resource.ConfigureResponse) {
if req.ProviderData == nil {
return // provider not yet configured (e.g. validation phase)
}
client, ok := req.ProviderData.(*examplecloud.Client)
if !ok {
resp.Diagnostics.AddError(
"Unexpected Resource Configure Type",
fmt.Sprintf("Expected *examplecloud.Client, got: %T.", req.ProviderData),
)
return
}
r.client = client
}
func (r *widgetResource) Schema(ctx context.Context, req resource.SchemaRequest, resp *resource.SchemaResponse) {
resp.Schema = schema.Schema{
Attributes: map[string]schema.Attribute{
"name": schema.StringAttribute{
Required: true,
PlanModifiers: []planmodifier.String{
stringplanmodifier.RequiresReplace(),
},
Validators: []validator.String{
stringvalidator.LengthBetween(1, 255),
},
},
"id": schema.StringAttribute{
Computed: true,
PlanModifiers: []planmodifier.String{
stringplanmodifier.UseStateForUnknown(),
},
},
},
}
}
```
How the provider's `Configure` produces that client — schema, credential
resolution, validation — is covered by the `provider-configuration` skill
(if available).
**On `id`:** SDKv2 required a magic `id` attribute; the Framework does not.
If the API has its own identifier, expose it under its real meaning and do
not add a second, redundant `id`. Only keep `id` when it *is* the API's
identifier (as above).
## CRUD Operations
### Create
```go
func (r *widgetResource) Create(ctx context.Context, req resource.CreateRequest, resp *resource.CreateResponse) {
var data widgetResourceModel
resp.Diagnostics.Append(req.Plan.Get(ctx, &data)...)
if resp.Diagnostics.HasError() {
return
}
input := &examplecloud.CreateWidgetInput{
Name: data.Name.ValueStringPointer(),
}
output, err := r.client.CreateWidget(ctx, input)
if err != nil {
resp.Diagnostics.AddError(
"Error creating Widget",
fmt.Sprintf("creating Widget (%s): %s", data.Name.ValueString(), err),
)
return
}
data.ID = types.StringPointerValue(output.ID)
// For eventually consistent APIs, wait for the resource to be usable
// before returning — see references/retries-and-waiters.md.
resp.Diagnostics.Append(resp.State.Set(ctx, &data)...)
}
```
### Read
Read must handle out-of-band deletion by removing the resource from state so
the next plan recreates it, rather than erroring forever:
```go
func (r *widgetResource) Read(ctx context.Context, req resource.ReadRequest, resp *resource.ReadResponse) {
var data widgetResourceModel
resp.Diagnostics.Append(req.State.Get(ctx, &data)...)
if resp.Diagnostics.HasError() {
return
}
output, err := findWidgetByID(ctx, r.client, data.ID.ValueString())
if isNotFound(err) {
tflog.Warn(ctx, "Widget not found, removing from state", map[string]any{"id": data.ID.ValueString()})
resp.State.RemoveResource(ctx)
return
}
if err != nil {
resp.Diagnostics.AddError(
"Error reading Widget",
fmt.Sprintf("reading Widget (%s): %s", data.ID.ValueString(), err),
)
return
}
data.Name = types.StringPointerValue(output.Name)
resp.Diagnostics.Append(resp.State.Set(ctx, &data)...)
}
```
### Update
Only call the API for attributes that actually changed; compare plan against
state:
```go
func (r *widgetResource) Update(ctx context.Context, req resource.UpdateRequest, resp *resource.UpdateResponse) {
var plan, state widgetResourceModel
resp.Diagnostics.Append(req.Plan.Get(ctx, &plan)...)
resp.Diagnostics.Append(req.State.Get(ctx, &state)...)
if resp.Diagnostics.HasError() {
return
}
if !plan.Description.Equal(state.Description) {
input := &examplecloud.UpdateWidgetInput{
ID: plan.ID.ValueStringPointer(),
Description: plan.Description.ValueStringPointer(),
}
if _, err := r.client.UpdateWidget(ctx, input); err != nil {
resp.Diagnostics.AddError(
"Error updating Widget",
fmt.Sprintf("updating Widget (%s): %s", plan.ID.ValueString(), err),
)
return
}
}
resp.Diagnostics.Append(resp.State.Set(ctx, &plan)...)
}
```
### Delete
Treat "already gone" as success — the desired end state is reached:
```go
func (r *widgetResource) Delete(ctx context.Context, req resource.DeleteRequest, resp *resource.DeleteResponse) {
var data widgetResourceModel
resp.Diagnostics.Append(req.State.Get(ctx, &data)...)
if resp.Diagnostics.HasError() {
return
}
_, err := r.client.DeleteWidget(ctx, &examplecloud.DeleteWidgetInput{
ID: data.ID.ValueStringPointer(),
})
if isNotFound(err) {
return
}
if err != nil {
resp.Diagnostics.AddError(
"Error deleting Widget",
fmt.Sprintf("deleting Widget (%s): %s", data.ID.ValueString(), err),
)
return
}
}
```
### Import
With `ResourceWithImportState` asserted, passthrough of the identifier is
one line:
```go
func (r *widgetResource) ImportState(ctx context.Context, req resource.ImportStateRequest, resp *resource.ImportStateResponse) {
resource.ImportStatePassthroughID(ctx, path.Root("id"), req, resp)
}
```
For multi-part identifiers, parse a delimited import ID (commonly
comma-separated) and set each attribute explicitly.
## Resource Design Principles
Before implementing, check the shape of the thing being modeled (full
treatment in `references/design-principles.md`):
- A resource is the *smallest* useful building block; if the API offers
CRUD for it, it likely deserves its own resource.
- A resource should talk to **one** API/service only — cross-service
resources break permissions, auditing, and endpoint configuration.
- Data sources are read-only and side-effect free. A *singular* data source
errors on zero or multiple matches; a *plural* data source (plural noun
name) returns zero-or-more as a collection and errors on neither.
- Attached policies/rules, long-running task invocations, and versioned
artifacts usually deserve their *own* resources rather than attributes on
the parent.
- Start/stop or enable/disable state belongs as an attribute *in* the
resource, not as a separate resource.
## Schema Design
### Attribute Types
| Terraform Type | Framework Type | Use Case |
|----------------|----------------|----------|
| `string` | `schema.StringAttribute` | Names, identifiers |
| `number` | `schema.Int64Attribute`, `schema.Float64Attribute` | Counts, sizes |
| `bool` | `schema.BoolAttribute` | Feature flags |
| `list` | `schema.ListAttribute` | Ordered collections |
| `set` | `schema.SetAttribute` | Unordered unique items |
| `map` | `schema.MapAttribute` | Key-value pairs |
| `object` | `schema.SingleNestedAttribute` | Complex nested config |
Give every attribute a `MarkdownDescription` — `tfplugindocs` publishes it,
and it is the primary user-facing documentation.
### Plan Modifiers
```go
// Force replacement when value changes
stringplanmodifier.RequiresReplace()
// Keep a known value during plan instead of (known after apply)
stringplanmodifier.UseStateForUnknown()
```
### Validators
```go
stringvalidator.LengthBetween(1, 255)
stringvalidator.RegexMatches(regexp.MustCompile(`^[a-z0-9-]+$`), "must be lowercase alphanumeric with hyphens")
stringvalidator.OneOf("small", "medium", "large")
int64validator.Between(1, 100)
listvalidator.SizeAtLeast(1)
```
### Sensitive Attributes
```go
"password": schema.StringAttribute{
Required: true,
Sensitive: true,
},
```
