random v4.18.2 published on Wednesday, Apr 30, 2025 by Pulumi
pulumi/pulumi-random

    The resource random.RandomString generates a random permutation of alphanumeric characters and optionally special characters.

    This resource does use a cryptographic random number generator.

    Historically this resource’s intended usage has been ambiguous as the original example used it in a password. For backwards compatibility it will continue to exist. For unique ids please use random_id, for sensitive random values please use random_password.

    Example Usage

    import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as random from "@pulumi/random";

const random = new random.RandomString("random", {
    length: 16,
    special: true,
    overrideSpecial: "/@£$",
});

    import pulumi
import pulumi_random as random

random = random.RandomString("random",
    length=16,
    special=True,
    override_special="/@£$")

    package main

import (
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi-random/sdk/v4/go/random"
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/pulumi"
)

func main() {
	pulumi.Run(func(ctx *pulumi.Context) error {
		_, err := random.NewRandomString(ctx, "random", &random.RandomStringArgs{
			Length:          pulumi.Int(16),
			Special:         pulumi.Bool(true),
			OverrideSpecial: pulumi.String("/@£$"),
		})
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}
		return nil
	})
}

    using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Pulumi;
using Random = Pulumi.Random;

{
    var random = new Random.RandomString("random", new()

        Special = true,
        OverrideSpecial = "/@£$",

    RandomString Resource Properties

    To learn more about resource properties and how to use them, see Inputs and Outputs in the Architecture and Concepts docs.

    Inputs

    In Python, inputs that are objects can be passed either as argument classes or as dictionary literals.

    The RandomString resource accepts the following input properties:

    Length int
    The length of the string desired. The minimum value for length is 1 and, length must also be >= (min_upper + min_lower + min_numeric + min_special).
    Keepers Dictionary<string, string>
    Arbitrary map of values that, when changed, will trigger recreation of resource. See the main provider documentation for more information.
    Lower bool
    Include lowercase alphabet characters in the result. Default value is true.
    MinLower int
    Minimum number of lowercase alphabet characters in the result. Default value is 0.
    MinNumeric int
    Minimum number of numeric characters in the result. Default value is 0.
    MinSpecial int
    Minimum number of special characters in the result. Default value is 0.

    Import

    You can import external strings into your Pulumi programs as RandomString resources as follows:

    $ import random:index/randomString:RandomString newString myspecialdata
<break>```

This command will encode the `myspecialdata` token in Pulumi state and generate a code suggestion to
include a new RandomString resource in your Pulumi program. Include the suggested code and do a
`pulumi up`. Your data is now stored in Pulumi, and you can reference it in your Pulumi program as
`newString.result`.

If the data needs to be stored securily as a secret, consider using the RandomPassword resource
instead.

    To learn more about importing existing cloud resources, see Importing resources.
