1 // Package configschema contains types for describing the expected structure
2 // of a configuration block whose shape is not known until runtime.
4 // For example, this is used to describe the expected contents of a resource
5 // configuration block, which is defined by the corresponding provider plugin
6 // and thus not compiled into Terraform core.
8 // A configschema primarily describes the shape of configuration, but it is
9 // also suitable for use with other structures derived from the configuration,
10 // such as the cached state of a resource or a resource diff.
12 // This package should not be confused with the package helper/schema, which
13 // is the higher-level helper library used to implement providers themselves.
