Providers#

Reference documentation for each built-in provider. Every page documents the provider’s source string, its configuration schema, and every action it supports.

• postgres — PostgreSQL data operations
• http — HTTP request provider
• exec — Shell command execution
• External providers — using custom providers from separate binaries

To build your own provider, see Extending Orchard.

Reading a provider page#

Each page follows the same layout:

• Source — the string you put in required_providers.
• Provider configuration — every attribute accepted by the provider "name" { } block, with type, default, and whether it’s required.
• Actions — one section per action type the provider handles, documenting attributes, outputs, and runtime behavior.
• Example — a complete, working scenario fragment you can adapt.

Types are written using Orchard’s HCL type expressions: string, number, bool, list(string), map(string), object({ key = type, ... }), or any. See expressions for the full type grammar.
