Use Cases or Problem Statement

When using archive_file for resources such as AWS Lambda functions, current methods require referencing the zipped file directly by path/name. It would be advantageous to have this path reference-able for things like Lambda function source files. This way, should the file path change, it only has to be modified in one place.

ie:

data "archive_file" "payload" {
  type        = "zip"
  source_file = "./payload.py"
  output_path = "payload.zip"
}

. . .

resource "aws_lambda_function" "message_grouper" {
  filename      = data.archive_file.payload.output_path
  function_name = "payload"
  role          = aws_iam_role.payload_role.arn
  handler       = "payload.lambda_handler"
}

Proposal

Add an output parameter that simply echoes the value

Closing this after realizing from code that I can simply reference the input variables.
