Description

I would like a data source to search for Nexus assets, using search parameters from the Search API. For Maven snapshots, it would be useful with a latest search mode, as described in the Search API documentation.

The asset data source should resolve asset metadata, namely downloadUrl and checksum (sha1checksum). This allows referencing the url and checksum from other providers.

I'm asking you to evaluate if this use case fits into the provider, or if it should get its own provider. I would be happy to provide a pull request.

resource "cloudfoundry_app" "app" {
  path             = data.nexus_asset.name.downloadUrl
  source_code_hash = data.nexus_asset.name.sha1checksum
}

hi @oysteing,

i checked the api and your request is possible. so we will implement this feature after the major release change (planed for next month).

But you can help and create PRs in this repo and the go-nexus-client repository.

Regards
André
