1. Build the provider using `make dev`. This will place the provider onto your system in a [Terraform 0.13-compliant](https://www.terraform.io/upgrade-guides/0-13.html#in-house-providers) manner.
You'll need to ensure that your Terraform file contains the information necessary to find the plugin when running `terraform init`. `make dev` will use a version number of 0.0.1, so the following block will work:
If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need [Go](http://www.golang.org) installed on your machine (see [Requirements](#requirements) above).
To compile the provider, run `go install`. This will build the provider and put the provider binary in the `$GOPATH/bin` directory.
If you're using vscode, this provider has delve debugging baked into the [.vscode](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-boundary/tree/main/.vscode) directory. To debug you can find instructions [here.](https://dev.to/drewmullen/vscode-terraform-provider-development-setup-debugging-6bn#usage)
This provider uses the [terraform-plugin-docs](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-docs/) tool to generate documentation. Each resource and data source requires a set of examples [examples](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-boundary/tree/main/examples) then you execute a binary to generate the docs which are placed in [./docs](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-boundary/tree/main/docs). Optionally, you can specify your own [templates](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-boundary/tree/main/templates) for a resource or data source if you want to add custom information (example: [data "boundary_scope"](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-boundary/blob/main/templates/data-sources/scope.md.tmpl#L11))
### New Resources & Data Sources (documentation templates)
If you're adding a new resource or a data source, you must include a documentation template for your new R/DS in [./templates](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-boundary/tree/main/templates) directory. This provider uses the [terraform-plugin-docs](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-docs/) tool to generate documentation. For full details see the link.
### Documentation Examples for Resources & Data Sources
Examples are required for all resources and data sources. This provider uses the [terraform-plugin-docs](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-docs/) tool to generate documentation. To add examples, add a new file to the [./examples](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-boundary/tree/main/examples) directory or update the existing files. Next make sure the corresponding template in [./templates](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-boundary/tree/main/templates) directory references this example.
Please see our detailed docs for individual resource usage. Below is a complex example using the Boundary provider to configure all resource types available:
