☁️ Google Cloud Document AI Schema Terraform Module

Provisions a single Document AI schema (google_document_ai_schema) — a named metadata container — targeting hashicorp/google ~> 7.0 on Terraform >= 1.12.0.

• 🏷️ Manages one Document AI schema (google_document_ai_schema) — a thin, named metadata container with a display_name, location, and labels.
• 📭 GENUINE FINDING: this resource has no nested schema-content block — confirmed via both the schema-JSON dump and the provider's own single live example. Do not confuse this with terraform-google-document-ai-warehouse-document-schema (a different product with a property_definitions structure).
• 🧯 deletion_policy defaults to "PREVENT" — a house extension.

💡 Why it matters: This is one of a small number of resources in this library where the Terraform surface is genuinely thinner than the resource name suggests — documenting that plainly prevents a caller from expecting a schema-content input that does not exist.

If these Terraform modules have been helpful to you or your organization, I'd appreciate your support in any of the following ways:

• ⭐ Star this repository to help others discover this Terraform module.
• 🤝 Connect with me on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/microsoftexpert

No sibling module cross-references this resource — stated explicitly rather than inventing a fictional consumer. Validated via the Mermaid Chart MCP before embedding.

Resource inventory: one keystone resource, google_document_ai_schema.this. No for_each-managed children — this is a standalone module (see SCOPE.md).

Schema notes that bite:

• No nested schema-content block exists — a genuine finding, not an oversight.
• labels IS supported — unlike terraform-google-looker-instance and terraform-google-document-ai-processor, this resource has a real labels surface.
• No self_link.
• All three create/update/delete timeouts are supported.

• roles/documentai.editor (or roles/documentai.admin) on the target project.

• documentai.googleapis.com enabled.

• No nested schema-content block. A genuine finding — this resource is a thin metadata container, not a document-type field definition.
• labels IS supported here, unlike several Document AI/Looker siblings in this batch.
• location/display_name are effectively force-new. No rename/re-region API exists.
• deletion_policy default is a house extension. "PREVENT" is not the provider's own default.

Pin ?ref=v1.0.0 — never a branch. This library is plan-only; a human applies from CI with valid ADC/WIF credentials.

terraform validate/fmt -check confirm internal type/reference consistency and formatting only — they cannot catch GCP API-level rejections. A real terraform plan/apply against a live project is the only way to confirm this module's behavior end-to-end.
