Float64 Function Parameter
Tip
Use Int64 Parameter for 64-bit integer numbers. Use Number Parameter for arbitrary precision numbers.
Float64 function parameters expect a 64-bit floating point number value from a practitioner configuration. Values are accessible in function logic by the Go built-in float64
type, Go built-in *float64
type, or the framework float64 type.
In this Terraform configuration example, a float64 parameter is set to the value 1.23
:
provider::example::example(1.23)
Function Definition
Use the function.Float64Parameter
type in the function definition to accept a float64 value.
In this example, a function definition includes a first position float64 parameter:
func (f ExampleFunction) Definition(ctx context.Context, req function.DefinitionRequest, resp *function.DefinitionResponse) { resp.Definition = function.Definition{ // ... other Definition fields ... Parameters: []function.Parameter{ function.Float64Parameter{ Name: "float64_param", // ... potentially other Float64Parameter fields ... }, }, }}
If the float64 value should be the element type of a collection parameter type, set the ElementType
field according to the framework float64 type. Refer to the collection parameter type documentation for additional details.
If the float64 value should be a value type of an object parameter type, set the AttributeTypes
map value according to the framework float64 type. Refer to the object parameter type documentation for additional details.
Allow Null Values
By default, Terraform will not pass null values to the function logic. Use the AllowNullValue
field to explicitly allow null values, if there is a meaningful distinction that should occur in function logic. Enabling AllowNullValue
requires using a Go pointer type or framework float64 type when reading argument data.
Allow Unknown Values
By default, Terraform will not pass unknown values to the function logic. Use the AllowUnknownValues
field to explicitly allow unknown values, if there is a meaningful distinction that should occur in function logic. Enabling AllowUnknownValues
requires using a framework float64 type when reading argument data.
Custom Types
You may want to build your own data value and type implementations to allow your provider to combine validation and other behaviors into a reusable bundle. This helps avoid duplication and ensures consistency. These implementations use the CustomType
field in the parameter type.
Refer to Custom Types for further details on creating provider-defined types and values.
Documentation
Refer to function documentation for information about the Name
, Description
, and MarkdownDescription
fields available.
Reading Argument Data
The function implementation documentation covers the general methods for reading function argument data in function logic.
When retrieving the argument value for this parameter:
- If
CustomType
is set, use its associated value type. - If
AllowUnknownValues
is enabled, you must use the framework float64 type. - If
AllowNullValue
is enabled, you must use the Go built-in*float64
type or framework float64 type. - Otherwise, use the Go built-in
float64
type, Go built-in*float64
type, or framework float64 type.
In this example, a function defines a single float64 parameter and accesses its argument value:
func (f ExampleFunction) Definition(ctx context.Context, req function.DefinitionRequest, resp *function.DefinitionResponse) { resp.Definition = function.Definition{ // ... other Definition fields ... Parameters: []function.Parameter{ function.Float64Parameter{ Name: "float64_param", // ... potentially other Float64Parameter fields ... }, }, }} func (f ExampleFunction) Run(ctx context.Context, req function.RunRequest, resp *function.RunResponse) { var float64Arg float64 // var float64Arg *float64 // e.g. with AllowNullValue, where Go nil equals Terraform null // var float64Arg types.Float64 // e.g. with AllowUnknownValues or AllowNullValue resp.Error = function.ConcatFuncErrors(resp.Error, req.Arguments.Get(ctx, &float64Arg)) // float64Arg is now populated // ... other logic ...}
