 ## Installation

+## Implementation
+IMHO, how terraform design boolean options is confusing. 
+Take `input=True` and `-no-color` option of `apply` command for example,
+they're all boolean value but with different option type. 
+This make api caller don't have a general rule to follow but to do 
+a exhaustive method implementation which I don't prefer to.
+Therefore I end-up with using `IsFlagged` or `IsNotFlagged` as value of option 
+like `-no-color` and `True/False` value reserved for option like
