Types

type Variable

type Variable struct {
	Name        string
	Description string
	Default     cty.Value
	Type        cty.Type
	ParsingMode VariableParsingMode

	DescriptionSet bool

	DeclRange hcl.Range
}

Variable represents a "variable" block in a module or file.

func DecodeVariableBlock

func DecodeVariableBlock(block *hcl.Block, override bool) (*Variable, hcl.Diagnostics)

func (*Variable) Required

func (v *Variable) Required() bool

Required returns true if this variable is required to be set by the caller, or false if there is a default value that will be used when it isn't set.

type VariableParsingMode

type VariableParsingMode rune

VariableParsingMode defines how values of a particular variable given by text-only mechanisms (command line arguments and environment variables) should be parsed to produce the final value.

const VariableParseHCL VariableParsingMode = 'H'

VariableParseHCL is a variable parsing mode that attempts to parse the given string as an HCL expression and returns the result.

const VariableParseLiteral VariableParsingMode = 'L'

VariableParseLiteral is a variable parsing mode that just takes the given string directly as a cty.String value.

func (VariableParsingMode) Parse

func (m VariableParsingMode) Parse(name, value string) (cty.Value, hcl.Diagnostics)

Parse uses the receiving parsing mode to process the given variable value string, returning the result along with any diagnostics.

A VariableParsingMode does not know the expected type of the corresponding variable, so it's the caller's responsibility to attempt to convert the result to the appropriate type and return to the user any diagnostics that conversion may produce.

The given name is used to create a synthetic filename in case any diagnostics must be generated about the given string value. This should be the name of the configuration variable whose value will be populated from the given string.

If the returned diagnostics has errors, the returned value may not be valid.

type VariableValidation

type VariableValidation struct {
	// Condition is an expression that refers to the variable being tested
	// and contains no other references. The expression must return true
	// to indicate that the value is valid or false to indicate that it is
	// invalid. If the expression produces an error, that's considered a bug
	// in the module defining the validation rule, not an error in the caller.
	Condition hcl.Expression

	// ErrorMessage is one or more full sentences, which would need to be in
	// English for consistency with the rest of the error message output but
	// can in practice be in any language as long as it ends with a period.
	// The message should describe what is required for the condition to return
	// true in a way that would make sense to a caller of the module.
	ErrorMessage string

	DeclRange hcl.Range
}

VariableValidation represents a configuration-defined validation rule for a particular input variable, given as a "validation" block inside a "variable" block.
