What happens to Command Line Config parameters?

[Shoaib Burq]

Hi all,

Thanks for all the great documentation on addons. I am however a bit
stuck...

We creating our Heroku addon for SpacialDB (a Cloud Geospatial
Database).

Looking at the examples we can see that some addons require heroku
users to pass on parameters as key=value when they run the heroku
addons:add command. They are called command line config parameters in
the Heroku gem source and are being posted to

https://api.heroku.com/apps/<app-name>/addons/spacialdb

How do we access these command line config parameters? My guess would
be that addon-manifest should have some way specifying which config
parameters are mandatory and these should be sent in the provisioning
request.

Can someone who has implemented command-line parameters e.g.
$ heroku addons:add amazon_rds url=mysql://
user:pa...@rdshostname.amazonaws.com/databasename

Suggest how these values can be accessed?

Many thanks

Hi there Shoaib,

Sorry for the delay! Right now those options are not available on the
add-ons API - we are aware providers need those options when
provisioning resources, and are actively testing alternatives to make
that available on the API.

We'll let you know once we have that available for use.

Thanks,
Pedro
