# Resource Cards

## Card Components

Each resource card displays:

1. **Resource Icon:** Visual indicator of the resource type (e.g., storage account, virtual machine, function app).
2. **Resource Name:** The <mark style="color:$primary;">Terraform</mark> resource name you've assigned.
3. **Resource Type:** The <mark style="color:$primary;">Terraform</mark> resource type (e.g., `azurerm_storage_account`, `aws_s3_bucket`)
4. **Key Parameters:** Most important configuration values:
   * Required parameters.
   * Connection references to other resources.
   * Location/region information.
   * Names and identifiers.
5. **File Assignment:** Shows which <mark style="color:$primary;">Terraform</mark> file contains this resource.

## Parameter Display

Parameters are displayed in different formats based on their type:

* **Simple Values:** Strings and numbers shown directly (e.g., `"Standard"`, `"LRS"`)
* **References:** Links to other resources shown with an icon and resource name (e.g., `→ resource_group.name`)
* **Variables:** Variable references shown with variable icon (e.g., `var.location`).
* **Complex Objects:** Nested configuration indicated with a message: "View full configuration in the Resource Configurator".

{% hint style="info" %}
Parameter references are clickable - click any reference to navigate to the referenced `resource`, `variable`, or `output`.
{% endhint %}

#### **Viewing parameters**

Hover over any parameter value to see:

* Parameter documentation.
* Data type information.
* Default values.
* Validation requirements.

## Resource Relationship Indicators

Resource cards show relationship indicators:

* **Incoming References:** Icon shows when other resources reference this one.
* **Outgoing References:** Displayed as clickable parameter values.
* **Module Connections:** Special indicator for module-sourced resources.

***

## Card Actions

Each resource card provides quick actions:

* **Click Resource Card:** It highlights the corresponding resource in the architecture diagram. IT is useful for large diagrams where resources may be off-screen.
* **Double-Click:** Double-clicking a resource card opens the [Resource Configuration](/cloud-design/right-panel/resource-configuration.md) panel for detailed editing. Or, you can also right-click on the resource card and select **"Edit Config"** from the actions menu.
* **Minimize/Expand:** Toggle between collapsed and expanded parameter view.
* **Actions Menu** (⋯): Access additional options:
  * Configure resource
  * Switch to data source/resource
  * Terraform state (import resource)
  * Duplicate
  * Delete

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.brainboard.co/cloud-design/right-panel/resources-list/resource-cards.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
