Terraform for creating BigQuery user defined functions

Terraform BigQuery User Defined Functions

NOTE: The future plan is to not use User Defined Functions, so this repo should be short lived.

Running

NOTE: This can only be run locally on a machine which has bq command line tool installed (installed with gcloud). Since the machines we are using in Terraform cloud do not have this dependency we can't run this there.

1. Run terraform

terraform apply

1. Answer with the project name of the dataset you would like to add the functions
2. Answer "yes" after reviewing the changes to apply them

Why Are These Needed

Data in our BigQuery columns is deeply nested JSON strings. Currently our BigQuery views access deeply nested values by using javascript within User Defined Functions.

These functions must exist for our views to work.
