# host_catalog_resource 
The host catalog resource allows you to configure a Boundary host catalog. Host catalogs
are always part of a project, so a project resource should be used inline or you should have
the project ID in hand to successfully configure a host catalog. 

## Example Usage

```hcl
resource "boundary_project" "example" {
  description = "My first project!"
}

resource "boundary_host_catalog" "example" {
  name        = "My catalog"
  description = "My first host catalog!"
  type        = "Static"
  scope_id    = boundary_project.example.id
}
```

## Argument Reference

The following arguments are required:
* `type` - The host catalog type. Only `Static` (yes, title case) is supported.
* `scope_id` - The scope ID in which the resource is created.

The following arguments are optional:
* `name` - The host catalog name. Defaults to the resource name.
* `description` - The host catalog description.
