| However, this pattern isn't possible because resource names need to be available and known at runtime in order to construct the URN of the resource. | ||

| If you really wish to pass an output from one resource as the resource name of another resource, you will need to use a {{< pulumi-apply >}}. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think using {{< pulumi-apply >}} is not working outside of choosers, I get a broken link. Should we use [apply](#apply) in this document?

This is a great improvement! I think the "Outputs" section could be even a bit more accessible for some programmers by rearranging it a bit: I would consider moving accessing plain values from outputs (the last par and bullet point list) up and the technical details about dependency tracking (staring from "Outputs are als how Pulumi tracks...") down. From my insight, often the first time people think about what Output is and looking it up is when they notice they cannot just access the plain value of properties on resources. You may consider removing the "monad" reference. I feel like the word "monad" makes many (not only novice) developers feel uncomfortable as they do not have a firm understanding of what it means. It also does not add much here because the hint towards promises tells people that know about monads that Output is most likely monad-like, too. Some programmers may not read on in the section after bumping into the monad reference. "Promises" is well known in JS/TS/Web stetting, developers in other environments may not know it well or would have an easier time with "Future". Perhaps putting the async fact first and then appending "like Futures or Promises" may be a solution. |
