Add `map(string)` to `code_parameter` support type

I'm using the vscode-web module in the template. When my team creates workspaces from the template, I want to allow them to select extensions and apply settings that suit their needs by using the coder_parameter vscode_web_extensions and vscode_settings. In main.tf:

data "coder_parameter" "vscode_web_extensions" {
  description  = <<-EOF
  A list of extensions to install to VS Code web.
  EOF
  display_name = "VS Code Web Extensions"
  mutable      = true
  name         = "vscode_web_extensions"
  type         = "list(string)"

}

data "coder_parameter" "vscode_settings" {
  description  = <<-EOF
  A map of settings to apply to VS Code web.
  EOF
  display_name = "VS Code Web Settings"
  mutable      = true
  name         = "vscode_settings"
  type         = "map(string)"
}

module "vscode-web" {
  source   = "registry.coder.com/modules/vscode-web/coder"
  version  = "1.0.22"
  agent_id = coder_agent.main.id
  extensions = data.coder_parameter.vscode_web_extensions.value
  accept_license = true
  settings = data.coder_parameter.vscode_settings.value

  folder    = "/workspaces"
  subdomain = false
}

data "coder_parameter" "vscode_web_extensions" {
  description  = <<-EOF
  A list of extensions to install to VS Code web.
  EOF
  display_name = "VS Code Web Extensions"
  mutable      = true
  name         = "vscode_web_extensions"
  type         = "list(string)"

}

data "coder_parameter" "vscode_settings" {
  description  = <<-EOF
  A map of settings to apply to VS Code web.
  EOF
  display_name = "VS Code Web Settings"
  mutable      = true
  name         = "vscode_settings"
  type         = "map(string)"
}

module "vscode-web" {
  source   = "registry.coder.com/modules/vscode-web/coder"
  version  = "1.0.22"
  agent_id = coder_agent.main.id
  extensions = data.coder_parameter.vscode_web_extensions.value
  accept_license = true
  settings = data.coder_parameter.vscode_settings.value

  folder    = "/workspaces"
  subdomain = false
}

However, currently, coder_parameter doesn't support the map type, so I don't have a way to implement this for vscode_settings. https://github.com/coder/terraform-provider-coder/blob/c9dbd6f7639765999b3e84c2f966b3a171d31a4d/provider/parameter.go#L202-L208 Will coder_parameter support type map in the near future?

hello @Luna Lovegood are you talking about a mutli select field or a multi-input field?

Luna LovegoodOP•3w ago

Multi-input field as I described on terraform code above

Phorcys•3w ago

wait, i'm confused oh i see as a workaround you can currently let them input JSON and parse that JSON on the terraform side afterwards i'm not sure how it'd look in the UI but please submit a feature request! https://github.com/coder/coder/issues

Luna LovegoodOP•3w ago

I'm happy to open a pull request but sadly I'm not familiar with Go language

Phorcys•3w ago

just open an issue for now, i think even if you want to contribute it we should discuss the implementation first!
