How to display all the attributes of a data source without creating individual output variables?

[Tony Chia]

For example, the aws_ami data source (https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aws/d/ami.html)  has many attributes that is returned after you provided some arguments for search such as image_id, description, create_date, etc.

is it possible to display all the attributes without having to create an output variable for each one? 

Here is my tf file

data "aws_ami" "latest" {

  most_recent = true

  filter {

    name   = "owner-alias"

    values = ["amazon"]

  }

  filter {

    name   = "name"

    values = ["amzn-ami-hvm-*"]

  }

  filter {

    name   = "root-device-type"

    values = ["ebs"]

  }

  owners = ["amazon"]

}

output "latest_ami_name" {

  value = "${data.aws_ami.latest.name}"

}

output "latest_ami_id" {

  value = "${data.aws_ami.latest.id}"

}

After terraform apply, I ran "terraform console" and i wanted to display all the attributes using data.aws_ami.latest.* but I can't

> data.aws_ami.latest.*

Resource 'data.aws_ami.latest' does not have attribute '*' for variable 'data.aws_ami.latest.*'

Sometimes you can use * like in this example.

Is the `terraform show`[1] command what you're looking for?
