Create New Terraform Resource

This skill helps you create a new Terraform resource for the DataRobot provider following established patterns.

Steps

1. Create the resource file at pkg/provider/{resource_name}_resource.go:

   • Define the resource struct with provider *Provider
   • Implement resource.Resource interface (Metadata, Schema, Configure, Create, Read, Update, Delete)
   • Implement resource.ResourceWithImportState for import support
   • Add proper MarkdownDescription for all schema attributes

2. Create the model file at pkg/provider/{resource_name}_model.go:

   • Define the ResourceModel struct with types.* fields
   • Match field names to API response/request structures

3. Add client service methods in internal/client/:

   • Add interface methods to service.go
   • Implement methods in appropriate *_service.go file

4. Create tests at pkg/provider/{resource_name}_resource_test.go:

   • Add TestAcc{ResourceName}Resource for acceptance tests
   • Add Test{ResourceName}ResourceSchema for schema validation

5. Add example in examples/resources/{resource_name}/:

   • Create resource.tf with usage example

6. Update documentation:

   • Run make generate to create docs
   • Update CHANGELOG.md

Template

Copypackage provider

import (
    "context"
    "fmt"

    "github.com/datarobot-community/terraform-provider-datarobot/internal/client"
    "github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-framework/resource"
    "github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-framework/resource/schema"
    "github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-framework/types"
)

var _ resource.Resource = &{ResourceName}Resource{}
var _ resource.ResourceWithImportState = &{ResourceName}Resource{}

func New{ResourceName}Resource() resource.Resource {
    return &{ResourceName}Resource{}
}

type {ResourceName}Resource struct {
    provider *Provider
}

func (r *{ResourceName}Resource) Metadata(ctx context.Context, req resource.MetadataRequest, resp *resource.MetadataResponse) {
    resp.TypeName = req.ProviderTypeName + "_{resource_name}"
}
