time_static (Resource)

Manages a static time resource, which keeps a locally sourced UTC timestamp stored in the Terraform state. This prevents perpetual differences caused by using the timestamp() function.

-> Further manipulation of incoming or outgoing values can be accomplished with the formatdate() function and the timeadd() function.

Example Usage

Basic Usage

# DO NOT EDIT. Code generated by 'cdktf convert' - Please report bugs at https://cdk.tf/bug
from constructs import Construct
from cdktf import TerraformOutput, TerraformStack
#
# Provider bindings are generated by running `cdktf get`.
# See https://cdk.tf/provider-generation for more details.
#
from imports.time.static_resource import StaticResource
class MyConvertedCode(TerraformStack):
    def __init__(self, scope, name):
        super().__init__(scope, name)
        example = StaticResource(self, "example")
        TerraformOutput(self, "current_time",
            value=example.rfc3339
        )

Triggers Usage

# DO NOT EDIT. Code generated by 'cdktf convert' - Please report bugs at https://cdk.tf/bug
from constructs import Construct
from cdktf import Token, Fn, TerraformStack
#
# Provider bindings are generated by running `cdktf get`.
# See https://cdk.tf/provider-generation for more details.
#
from imports.aws.instance import Instance
from imports.time.static_resource import StaticResource
class MyConvertedCode(TerraformStack):
    def __init__(self, scope, name):
        super().__init__(scope, name)
        ami_update = StaticResource(self, "ami_update",
            triggers={
                "ami_id": Token.as_string(example.id)
            }
        )
        Instance(self, "server",
            ami=Token.as_string(Fn.lookup_nested(ami_update, ["triggers", "ami_id"])),
            tags={
                "AmiUpdateTime": ami_update.rfc3339
            }
        )

Schema

Optional

• rfc3339 (String) Base timestamp in RFC3339 format (see RFC3339 time string e.g., YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ). Defaults to the current time.
• triggers (Map of String) Arbitrary map of values that, when changed, will trigger a new base timestamp value to be saved. See the main provider documentation for more information.

Read-Only

• day (Number) Number day of timestamp.
• hour (Number) Number hour of timestamp.
• id (String) RFC3339 format of the offset timestamp, e.g. 2020-02-12T06:36:13Z.
• minute (Number) Number minute of timestamp.
• month (Number) Number month of timestamp.
• second (Number) Number second of timestamp.
• unix (Number) Number of seconds since epoch time, e.g. 1581489373.
• year (Number) Number year of timestamp.

Import

This resource can be imported using the UTC RFC3339 value, e.g.

terraform import time_static.example 2020-02-12T06:36:13Z

The triggers argument cannot be imported.
