# Command: add
|
|
|
|
The `terraform add` command generates a resource configuration template with
|
|
`null` placeholder values for all attributes, unless the `-from-state` flag is
|
|
used. By default, the template only includes required resource attributes; the
|
|
`-optional` flag tells Terraform to also include any optional attributes.
|
|
|
|
When `terraform add` used with the `-from-state` will _not_ print sensitive
|
|
values. You can use `terraform show ADDRESS` to see all values, including
|
|
sensitive values, recorded in state for the given resource address.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Usage: `terraform add [options] ADDRESS`
|
|
|
|
This command requires an address that points to a resource which does not
|
|
already exist in the configuration. Addresses are in
|
|
[resource addressing format](/docs/cli/state/resource-addressing.html).
|
|
|
|
This command accepts the following options:
|
|
|
|
`-from-state` - populate the template with values from a resource
|
|
already in state. Sensitive values are redacted.
|
|
|
|
`-optional` - include optional attributes in the template.
|
|
|
|
`-out=FILENAME` - writes the template to the given filename. If the file already
|
|
exists, the template will be added to the end of the file.
|
|
|
|
`-provider=provider` - override the configured provider for the resource. By
|
|
default, Terraform will use the configured provider for the given resource type,
|
|
and that is the best behavior in most cases.
