Add FQDN output to digitalocean_record resource types

[kyl191]

Hi,
I'm creating a DNS record with digitalocean_record, and want to be able to use the resulting FQDN.

Cloudflare_record exports the hostname attribute, which is the FQDN, could a similar thing be added for digitalocean_record?

Hi @kyl191,

this isn't available as part of the SDK - the SDK has the following fields in the struct:

type DomainRecord struct {
    ID       int    `json:"id,float64,omitempty"`
    Type     string `json:"type,omitempty"`
    Name     string `json:"name,omitempty"`
    Data     string `json:"data,omitempty"`
    Priority int    `json:"priority,omitempty"`
    Port     int    `json:"port,omitempty"`
    Weight   int    `json:"weight,omitempty"`
}

I think we would have to ask for a change to be made to their API as it doesn't expose it either AFAICT

Hi Paul,
DIgital Ocean might not expose it, but I think it would be possible to do it in terraform itself - we know both parts of the FQDN.

I've created a workaround for my usecase with a module (https://github.com/kyl191/terraform-cloudflare-modules/blob/master/create-fqdn/main.tf) - essentially pass the domain + subdomain, and get an output of the two combined.

Thanks,
Kyle

Agreed with @kyl191
we do this for Route53 records already:
https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/blob/master/builtin/providers/aws/resource_aws_route53_record.go#L308-L310

@kyl191 I will open a PR for this shortly
