## Configuring Provider to be downloaded from [Terraform Registry](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/vast-data/vastdata/latest)
In order to configure the provider to be used directly from Terraform registry, use the following provider defenition. 
```hcl
terraform {
  required_providers {
    vastdata = {
      source = "vast-data/vastdata"
    }
  }
}
```
Now when running `terraform init` it will download the VastData provider from the [Terraform Registry](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/vast-data/vastdata/latest)

## Building The Provider Directly From Github

In order to build the provider you can simpy use go install

```bash
$ go install github.com/vast-data/terraform-provider-vastdata
```

To install a specfic tag/branch version use the following syntax 
```bash
$ go install github.com/vast-data/terraform-provider-vastdata@<branch/tag>
```

Check you go GOBIN path for the compiled file named `terraform-provider-vastdata`

## Building The Provider Locally

In order to build the provider locally you will need to first clone the repo.

### Cloning The Source Code

```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/vast-data/terraform-provider-vastdata.git
$ cd terraform-provider-vastdata
```

If you wish to checkout a specific tag check out the tag.

```bash
$ git checkout <tag name>
```

### Building The Code Locally

***In order to build the code locally you need to have [GNU Make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/) installed***

To build the code ru the following command

```bash
make build
```

This will build the provider binary with the name *terraform-provider-vastdata* directly into the build directory.

### Building Into A Differant directory

In order to build to a differant directory other than build , specify BUILD_DEST=<*build directory*>

```bash
	make build BUILD_DEST=some/other/directory
```

## Using Local Copy Using dev_overrides

dev_overrides is a terraform configuration that will allow to overrides any other method of obtaining the terrafrom plugin binary and forces terrafrom to obtain the provider binary from a specific path locally.

### Edit ~/.terraformrc file

*This file is being scanned every time you run terrafrom if you dont want to create/edit it you can specify the environment vasriable TF_CLI_CONFIG_FILE=path/to/configuration/file*

add the following configurations to the configuration file.

```hcl
provider_installation {
  dev_overrides {
    "vastdata/vastdata" = "/some/directory/where/the/binary/is/stored"
  }
  direct {}
} 
```

When creating a terrafrom configration specify the following at the file

```hcl
terraform {
  required_providers {
    vastdata = {
      source  = "vastdata/vastdata"
    }
  }
}
```

Now you can define providers.

```hcl
provider vastdata {
username = "<username>"
port = <port>
password = "<password>"
host = "<address>"
skip_ssl_verify = true
version_validation_mode = "warn"
}
```

## Importing Existing Resources

The VastData provider supports importing existing resources using various ID formats, including composite keys for resources that require multiple identifiers.

### Import Formats

#### 1. Simple ID Import
For resources that use a single identifier:
```bash
terraform import vastdata_example.my_resource "12345"
```

#### 2. Key-Value Pairs Import (Recommended)
For resources requiring multiple fields, use key=value format with comma or semicolon separators:
```bash
# Using comma separator
terraform import vastdata_example.my_resource "gid=1001,tenant_id=22,context=ad"

# Using semicolon separator  
terraform import vastdata_example.my_resource "gid=1001;tenant_id=22;context=ad"
```

**This is the recommended import format** as it is explicit, order-independent, and allows you to specify only the required fields without needing to know a specific field order.

### Import Field Types

The provider automatically handles type conversion for imported values:

- **String fields**: Values are imported as-is
- **Integer fields**: Numeric strings are converted to integers
- **Boolean fields**: Accepts `true`, `false`, `1`, or `0`

### Legacy Import Format (Pipe-separated)

**This section is for backward compatibility with provider version 1.7 only.**

A limited set of resources still support the legacy pipe-separated import format for backward compatibility. This format requires all values to be provided in a specific order and is **not recommended** for new configurations.

#### Supported Resources with Legacy Format

Only the following resources support pipe-separated imports:

#### Legacy Format Usage

```bash
# Example: Import a nonlocal user (not recommended - use key=value instead)
terraform import vastdata_nonlocal_user.example "admin|ldap|1"

# Example: Import a view (not recommended - use key=value instead)  
terraform import vastdata_view.example "/data/project|tenant1"
```

### Examples

#### Import a User with Multiple Identifiers
```bash
terraform import vastdata_user.admin "username=admin,tenant_id=1,domain=local"
```

#### Import a Quota with Composite Key
```bash
terraform import vastdata_quota.project_quota "name=project1,path=/data/project1,tenant_id=5"
```

#### Import a Network Interface
```bash
terraform import vastdata_network_interface.eth0 "name=eth0,node_id=1"
```

### Troubleshooting Import

**Error: "field 'x' is not present in the resource schema"**
- Ensure the field name matches exactly what's defined in the resource schema
- Check the resource documentation for correct field names

**Error: "expected X values for fields [...], got Y"**
- When using pipe-separated format, ensure the number of values matches the expected import fields
- Use key=value format instead if you need to specify only some fields

**Error: "invalid int64 for field 'x'"**
- Ensure numeric fields contain valid integer values
- Check for extra spaces or non-numeric characters

### Finding Import Fields

To determine which fields are required for importing a specific resource:

1. Check the resource documentation
2. Look at the resource's required attributes
3. Use `terraform plan` after creating a minimal resource configuration to see required fields
4. Refer to the VastData API documentation for the underlying resource identifiers
