This page explains how to migrate nested blocks that are not computed (i.e., do not set Computed: true
) from SDKv2 to the framework. Refer to Blocks with Computed Fields for more details about migrating nested blocks that contain fields that are computed.
Some providers, resources, and data sources include repeatable nested blocks in their attributes. These nested blocks typically represent separate objects that are related to (or embedded within) the containing object.
The following table describes the mapping between SDK Schema Fields and the framework.
To migrate a nested block to the framework, add it to your provider, resource, or data source's schema. In the framework, nested blocks are defined in the schema's Blocks
field.
The following example Terraform configuration shows a nested block in a resource. The subject
nested block within the tls_cert_request
resource configures the subject of a certificate request with the common_name
and organization
attributes.
resource "tls_cert_request" "example" {
private_key_pem = file("private_key.pem")
subject {
common_name = "example.com"
organization = "ACME Examples, Inc"
}
}
The following example configuration shows an complex type attribute, not a nested block.
resource "examplecloud_thing" "example" {
example_attribute = {
"key1" = "one"
"key2" = "two"
}
}
Refer to Attributes - Available attribute types in the framework documentation for details about implementing complex types in the framework.
In SDKv2, blocks are defined by an attribute whose type is TypeList
or TypeSet
and whose Elem
field is set to a schema.Resource
that contains a map of the block's attribute names to corresponding schemaSchema
structs.
In the framework, implement nested blocks with the Blocks
field of your provider, resource, or data source's schema, as returned by the Schema
method. The Blocks
field maps the name of each block to a schema.Block
definition.
The following example shows the implementation of a nested block with SDKv2.
SDKv2
func resourceExample() *schema.Resource {
return &schema.Resource{
/* ... */
map[string]*schema.Schema{
"example" = &schema.Schema{
Type: schema.TypeList,
Optional: bool,
MaxItems: int,
Elem: &schema.Resource{
Schema: map[string]*schema.Schema{
"nested_example": {
Type: schema.TypeString,
Optional: bool,
/* ... */
The following example shows how the block is defined with the framework after the migration.
Framework
func (r *ThingResource) Schema(ctx context.Context, req resource.SchemaRequest, resp *resource.SchemaResponse) {
resp.Schema = schema.Schema{
/* ... */
Blocks: map[string]schema.Block{
"example": schema.ListNestedBlock{
NestedObject: schema.NestedBlockObject{
Attributes: map[string]schema.Attribute{
"nested_example": schema.StringAttribute{
Optional: bool
/* ... */
Examples
The following examples show how to migrate nested blocks to the framework.
Nested blockTo migrate a nested block to the framework, add it to the Blocks
key in your schema.
The following example shows the implementation of the example_nested_block
nested block with SDKv2.
SDKv2
map[string]*schema.Schema{
"example_attribute": &schema.Schema{
Type: schema.TypeString,
/* ... */
"example_nested_block" = &schema.Schema{
Type: schema.TypeList,
MaxItems: 1,
Elem: &schema.Resource{
Schema: map[string]*schema.Schema{
"example_block_attribute_one": {
Type: schema.TypeString,
/* ... */
},
"example_block_attribute_two": {
Type: schema.TypeString,
/* ... */
},
/* ... */
The following example shows how the nested example_nested_block
block is defined with the framework after the migration.
Framework
schema.Schema{
Attributes: map[string]schema.Attribute{
"example_attribute": schema.StringAttribute{
/* ... */
Blocks: map[string]schema.Block{
"example_nested_block": schema.ListNestedBlock{
NestedObject: schema.NestedBlockObject{
Attributes: map[string]schema.Attribute{
"example_block_attribute_one": schema.StringAttribute{
/* ... */
},
"example_block_attribute_two": schema.StringAttribute{
/* ... */
