Flow Support (All Resources)

[steve-r-west]

Once we have implemented #7, #11 and #12 we should have all the pieces necessary to create flows in the platform.

My believe is that we would need to change every resource in the platform to essentially also have a map[string]interface{} or something and ensure the HTTP layer can handle arbitrary keys and values on any resource, and that the API is such that it is managable.

Then we need to put this in terraform, I recommend in terraform that we use a distinct value and not embed the data in the object (i.e., in terraform we would have):

resource "epcc_customer" "my_customer" { 
    name = "Jane Smith"
    email = "[email protected]"
    flows { 
          "somekey" = "someValue" 
          }
} 

There are some additional challenges with this, because it may not just be string types.
