The import.string
block imports custom components from a string and exposes them to the importer.
import.string
blocks must be given a label that determines the namespace where custom components are exposed.
Usage
river
import.string "NAMESPACE" {
content = CONTENT
}
Arguments
The following arguments are supported:
Name | Type | Description | Default | Required |
---|---|---|---|---|
content | secret or string | The contents of the module to import as a secret or string. | yes |
content
is a string that contains the configuration of the module to import.
content
is typically loaded by using the exports of another component. For example,
local.file.LABEL.content
remote.http.LABEL.content
remote.s3.LABEL.content
Example
This example imports a module from the content of a file stored in an S3 bucket and instantiates a custom component from the import that adds two numbers:
river
remote.s3 "module" {
path = "s3://test-bucket/module.river"
}
import.string "math" {
content = remote.s3.module.content
}
math.add "default" {
a = 15
b = 45
