New Code Action: Expose an attribute/block as output

[radeksimko]

Background

When refactoring existing configuration, one of the actions users may want to take is to expose an attribute as an output. This is especially relevant if the configuration represents a published module or the refactoring has intentions to turn it into one.

For example, the user may start with:

resource "azurerm_app_service_environment" "foo" {
  name                = "foo"
  resource_group_name = "toot"
  subnet_id           = "noot"
}

and want to end up with:

resource "azurerm_app_service_environment" "foo" {
  name                = "foo"
  resource_group_name = "toot"
  subnet_id           = "noot"
}

output "subnet_id" {
  value = azurerm_app_service_environment.foo.subnet_id
}

or maybe end up with:

resource "azurerm_app_service_environment" "foo" {
  name                = "foo"
  resource_group_name = "toot"
  subnet_id           = "noot"
}

output "azurerm_app_service_environment_foo" {
  value = azurerm_app_service_environment.foo
}

Proposal

• Implement code action to "expose" any addressable attribute in following blocks
  • resource
  • data
  • module
  • output
  • provider
  • locals
• Implement code action to "expose" any addressable blocks as whole
  • resource
  • data
  • module
  • output
  • provider
