# Middlewares
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The main goal of middlewares is to reconciliate IaC and remote resources. For this we filter default resources, mutate, or remove fields in resources or even create and delete new resources.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```go
|
||
|
|
type AwsDefaultRoute struct{}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
func NewAwsDefaultRoute() AwsDefaultRoute {
|
||
|
|
return AwsDefaultRoute{}
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
func (m AwsDefaultRoute) Execute(remoteResources, resourcesFromState *[]*resource.Resource) error {
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
newRemoteResources := make([]*resource.Resource, 0)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// ...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*remoteResources = newRemoteResources
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
return nil
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the above example, we define a middleware called `AwsDefaultRoute` that will modify remote resources. Middleware can access two arrays of type `*[]*resource.Resource`: IaC resources first and then remote resources. The goal is to rework these slices to remove false positive drifts. Notice both `remoteResources` and `resourcesFromState` variables are pointers, which mean middlewares can perform mutations on resources before the comparison is made.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Different kind of middlewares
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) Help driftctl match IaC resources and remote resources.
|
||
|
|
2) Filter noises from provider default resources
|
||
|
|
3) Resource transformation
|
||
|
|
4) Specific edge cases
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Examples
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) `aws_route_table_expander` explode inline route in dedicated resources
|
||
|
|
2) `aws_default_route` ignore route created by default when creating a table **if they are not managed in IaC**
|
||
|
|
3) `aws_iam_user_policy_attachment` and `aws_iam_role_policy_attachment` transformed to `aws_iam_policy_attachment`
|
||
|
|
4) `route53_records_id_reconcilier` that rework ID's to match Terraform ones
