»Upgrading to CDK for Terraform Version 0.10

0.10 includes improvements to the provider code bindings, to allow referencing lists of computed attributes as a whole list instead of just individual items of that list. We also shipped a lot of CLI improvements in 0.10, including support for multiple stacks in cdktf deploy, cdktf output, and cdktf destroy.

»Remove cdktf synth --json Option #1640

If you are using cdktf synth --json <stack-name> to get the synthesized JSON configuration for your Stack, you will now need to run cdktf synth && cat ./cdktf.out/stacks/<stack-name>/cdk.tf.json instead. The ./cdktf.out part is your output directory (set by cdktf.json or via the --output flag).

»Model ComplexComputedLists as ComplexLists and ComputedObjects #1499

In an effort to streamline the interfaces of resources, computed attributes of the type list and set are now modeled as a separate ComplexList type instead of being a method that directly takes an index and returns an item. This change also did change the type of the index from string to number.

»Typescript

// previously
const firstItemId = resource.listAttribute("0").id;

// new
const firstItemId = resource.listAttribute.get(0).id;
const firstItem = resource.listAttribute.get(0); // now possible

// previously
const firstItemId = resource.listAttribute("0").id;

// new
const firstItemId = resource.listAttribute.get(0).id;
const firstItem = resource.listAttribute.get(0); // now possible

»Python

# previously
first_item_id = resource.list_attribute("0").id;

# new
first_item_id = resource.list_attribute.get(0).id;
first_item = resource.list_attribute.get(0); # now possible

# previously
first_item_id = resource.list_attribute("0").id;

# new
first_item_id = resource.list_attribute.get(0).id;
first_item = resource.list_attribute.get(0); # now possible

»CSharp

// previously
string firstItemId = resource.ListAttribute("0").Id;

// new
string firstItemId = resource.ListAttribute.Get(0).Id;
ListAttributeItem firstItem = resource.ListAttribute.Get(0); // now possible

// previously
string firstItemId = resource.ListAttribute("0").Id;

// new
string firstItemId = resource.ListAttribute.Get(0).Id;
ListAttributeItem firstItem = resource.ListAttribute.Get(0); // now possible

»Java

// previously
String firstItemId = resource.listAttribute("0").getId();

// new
String firstItemId = resource.getListAttribute().get(0).getId();
ListAttributeItem firstItem = resource.getListAttribute().get(0); // now possible

// previously
String firstItemId = resource.listAttribute("0").getId();

// new
String firstItemId = resource.getListAttribute().get(0).getId();
ListAttributeItem firstItem = resource.getListAttribute().get(0); // now possible

»Go

// previously
firstItemId := resource.ListAttribute(jsii.String("0")).Id();

// new
firstItemId := resource.ListAttribute().Get(jsii.Number(0)).Id();
firstItem := resource.ListAttribute().Get(jsii.Number(0)); // now possible

// previously
firstItemId := resource.ListAttribute(jsii.String("0")).Id();

// new
firstItemId := resource.ListAttribute().Get(jsii.Number(0)).Id();
firstItem := resource.ListAttribute().Get(jsii.Number(0)); // now possible

»Referencing computed string map entries via function call #1630

In preparation for a similar change as to the computed lists, string map entries can now be accessed via a function call instead of using Fn.lookup. Accessing the whole map at once now requires a different function call in the meantime.

»Example

const bucket = new s3.S3Bucket(this, "bucket");

// previously
const firstRuleStage = Fn.lookup(
  bucket.lifecycleRule("0").tags,
  "stage",
  "no-stage"
);
const firstRuleTags = bucket.lifecycleRule("0").tags;

// new
const firstRuleStage = bucket.lifecycleRule.get(0).tags("stage"); // tags is now a function
const firstRuleTags = bucket.lifecycleRule
  .get(0)
  .interpolationForAttribute("tags"); // will be improved in a future iteration

const bucket = new s3.S3Bucket(this, "bucket");

// previously
const firstRuleStage = Fn.lookup(
  bucket.lifecycleRule("0").tags,
  "stage",
  "no-stage"
);
const firstRuleTags = bucket.lifecycleRule("0").tags;

// new
const firstRuleStage = bucket.lifecycleRule.get(0).tags("stage"); // tags is now a function
const firstRuleTags = bucket.lifecycleRule
  .get(0)
  .interpolationForAttribute("tags"); // will be improved in a future iteration
