Description

Using the following example

import { App } from 'cdktf';
import { Construct } from 'constructs';
import {
    TFModuleStack,
    TFModuleVariable,
    TFModuleOutput,
    ProviderRequirement,
} from '@cdktf/tf-module-stack';
import { Resource } from '@cdktf/provider-null/lib/resource';

class MyAwesomeModule extends TFModuleStack {
    constructor(scope: Construct, id: string) {
        super(scope, id);

        new ProviderRequirement(this, 'null', '~> 2.0');
        const resource = new Resource(this, 'resource');

        new TFModuleVariable(this, 'my_var', {
            type: 'string',
            description: 'A variable',
            default: 'default',
        });

        new TFModuleOutput(this, 'my_output', {
            value: resource.id,
        });
    }
}

const app = new App();
new MyAwesomeModule(app, 'my-awesome-module');
app.synth();
