npm install hcl-to-json
HCL to JSON converter for JS applications.
HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language) is a configuration language built by
HashiCorp. The goal of HCL is to build a structured configuration language
that is both human and machine friendly for use with command-line tools,
but specifically targeted towards DevOps tools, servers, etc.
HCL is also fully JSON compatible. That is, JSON can be used as completely
valid input to a system expecting HCL. This helps makes systems
interoperable with other systems.
You can install with npm i hcl-to-json -g then simply require and pass HCL
content to get JSON output. _If you have a bad HCL content it's suggested to
call in try .. catch block_
``coffee
hcltojson = require 'hcltojson'
hcltojson """
foo "bar" {
baz = 123
tex = ["one", "two"]
mon "test" {
lar = "bar"
}
}
"""
`
will return following JSON object:
`json
{
"foo": {
"bar": {
"baz": 123,
"tex": [
"one",
"two"
],
"mon": {
"test": {
"lar": "bar"
}
}
}
}
}
`
or you can use the hcltojson cli for any hcl formatted file or standart
input;
`
$ npm install hcl-to-json -g
$ echo "foo=3" | hcltojson
{
"foo": 3
}
$ echo "foo bar { baz = 123 }" > test.tf
$ hcltojson test.tf
{
"foo": {
"bar": {
"baz": 123
}
}
}
`
In browser you may include the dist/bundle.js which will export hcltojson
function into . You can also try it in your browser from
https://runkit.com/npm/hcl-to-json
It currently supports the high-level features of the syntax and grammar of HCL.
Syntax details can be found here
It's experimental now and in early stages of development, but supports
lots of samples listed under
test folder.
You can use DEBUG="hcltojson:*" npm test watch` while developing for live
compile and test results with debug output.
