#### Dollar
|
||||
|
||||
Boolean. Dollar allows you to have a resource name that starts with a `$` sign.
|
||||
This is false by default. This helps you catch cases when you write code like:
|
||||
|
||||
```mcl
|
||||
$foo = "/tmp/file1"
|
||||
file "$foo" {} # incorrect!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The above code would ignore the `$foo` variable and attempt to make a file named
|
||||
`$foo` which would obviously not work. To correctly interpolate a variable, you
|
||||
need to surround the name with curly braces.
|
||||
|
||||
```mcl
|
||||
$foo = "/tmp/file1"
|
||||
file "${foo}" {} # correct!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This meta param is a safety measure to make your life easier. It works for all
|
||||
resources. If someone comes up with a resource which would routinely start with
|
||||
a dollar sign, then we can revisit the default for this resource kind.

#### Reverse

||||
|
||||
Boolean. Reverse is a property that some resources can implement that specifies
