prompt provider

If you need to interactively ask user for an input, you may use the prompt data source. The prompt data source interactively asks for the user on the Command line interface, if the TTY supports it, or asks the user on the Web UI (not implemented yet).

It is very likely that, depending on the execution engine, data.prompt resources are placed at the beginning of the topological sorted layer to prevent interference from other running stages (in the case of CLIs), or in the case of Web UIs to collect all data in the beginning of pipeline execution, so that it can happen asynchronously.

Prompting a user for response

data "prompt" "name" {
    prompt = "what is your name?"
    default = "John Doe"
}

• prompt - The data that the user will be prompted for (optional)
• default - Fallback data which will be returned if the user did not enter anything, or if the TTY is absent, or if any other UI provider is missing. (optional)

Attributes Reference

• value - The response from the user, otherwise the default value will be returned.
