[Enhancement]: Data Sources for Cognito User Pool

[hanoj-budime]

Description

Currently, we lack real-time descriptions of user pool information, which is crucial for end applications and Terraform operations to gather data. This information includes whether the user pool configuration has MFA activated, password patterns, sign-up enablement, required fields, etc.

Similarly, we are also missing real-time descriptions of app client information. This could prove beneficial for end applications, providing insights into whether the app client auth session timeout settings, etc.

Affected Resource(s) and/or Data Source(s)

data "aws_cognito_user_pool" "describe_user_pool"

{
  "UserPool": {
      "MfaConfiguration": "OFF",
      "Name": "MyUserPool",
      "AutoVerifiedAttributes": [
          "email"
      ],
      "Policies": {
          "PasswordPolicy": {
              "RequireLowercase": true,
              "RequireSymbols": true,
              "RequireNumbers": true,
              "MinimumLength": 8,
              "RequireUppercase": true
          }
      },
      "UsernameAttributes": [
          "email"
      ],
      "Id": "us-west-2_aaaaaaaaa",
  }
}

@HanojHanu you mentioned a data source for a specific user pool, but your title also stated a data source for an app client. There is a data source for user_pool_client is that what you are referring to?

From the description, it just appears you want to lookup the properties for a user pool, so just want to make sure I understand what insight you are looking for.

[hanoj-budime]

Yes, @danquack.

Looking for data source for a specific user pool

[SolomonHD]

Yes, we need a data "aws_cognito_user_pool", without we can't get the custom domain attribute. I have to use a pre-existing user pool.

I've got a hack with the import block and the resource "aws_cognito_user_pool" with an ignore_changes lifecycle attached, but it requires that I remove it from state before deleting to avoid errors.

It'd be nice to also have the endpoint attribute in the data block, @danquack
