Car Store Terraform Provider

This project implements a custom Terraform provider for managing a car store system. It consists of multiple components working together to provide infrastructure as code capabilities for car store management.

Components

1. API Server (Python)

Located in the api/ directory, this is a Python-based REST API server that handles the actual car store operations. It serves as the backend that the Terraform provider communicates with.

2. Terraform Provider (Go)

Located in the terraform-provider/ directory, this is the core provider implementation written in Go. It:

• Implements the necessary provider interfaces using the Terraform Plugin Framework
• Handles CRUD operations for car store resources
• Communicates with the Python API server to execute operations
• Manages state and schema validation

3. Terraform Test Module

Located in the terraform-module/ directory, contains example Terraform configurations and acceptance tests to verify the provider's functionality.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Go 1.19 or later
• Python 3.8 or later
• Terraform 1.0 or later

Building the Provider

cd terraform-provider
./build-and-cleanup.sh

Running the API Server

cd api
# First time setup:
./setup.sh    # Creates virtual environment, installs dependencies, and starts the API server

# For subsequent runs:
./run.sh # Enter the virtual environment and start the API server

Running Terraform test module

cd terraform-module
# First time setup:
./setup_terraform_plugin_cache.sh # Creates the terraform plugin cache


## Provider Configuration
```hcl
terraform {
  required_providers {
    carstore = {
      source = "registry.terraform.io/local/carstore"
    }
  }
}

provider "carstore" {
  # provider configuration options
}

Resources

The provider currently supports the following resources:

• carstore_car - Manages car entries in the store

Add other resources as they are implemented...
