# commands to run this tf file : terraform init && terraform apply --auto-approve
# This datasource reads filesystems either by id or name where user can provide a value to any one of them
# If it is a empty datsource block , then it will read all the filesystems
# If id or name is provided then it reads a particular filesystem with that id or name
# Only one of the attribute can be provided among id and name

# Fetching all filesystems with a specific name
data "powerstore_filesystem" "us_east_sales_catalog_fs" {
  name = "us_east_sales_catalog_fs"
  lifecycle {
    postcondition {
      condition     = length(self.filesystems) > 0
      error_message = "Expected atleast one filesystem, but got none"
    }
  }
}

# Fetching a filesystem using id
data "powerstore_filesystem" "filesystem_by_id" {
  id = "6568282e-c982-62ce-5ac3-52518d324736"
}

# Fetching all filesystems under a NAS server
data "powerstore_nas_server" "nas_server_us_east" {
  name = "nas_server_us_east"
  lifecycle {
    postcondition {
      condition     = length(self.nas_servers) == 1
      error_message = "Expected a single NAS server for US East region, but got none"
    }
  }
}

data "powerstore_filesystem" "file_systems_us_east" {
  nas_server_id = data.powerstore_nas_server.nas_server_us_east.nas_servers[0].id
}

# Fetching all filesystems
data "powerstore_filesystem" "all_file_systems" {
}


output "result" {
  value = data.powerstore_filesystem.all_file_systems.filesystems
}

After the successful execution of above said block, We can see the output by executing terraform output command. Also, we can fetch information via the variable: data.powerstore_filesystem.test1 where attribute_name is the attribute which user wants to fetch.
