scratchrelaxtv 0.2.1

Terraform developer tool to extract variables and create variables.tf files.

Terraform module development tool.

1. Extract variables from main.tf and create variables.tf files
2. Create a module use stub from a variables.tf file
3. Delete extra scratchrelaxtv files

simply

pip install scratchrelaxtv

In a directory with a main.tf file, run scratchrelaxtv:

$ ls
main.tf
$ scratchrelaxtv
$ ls
main.tf			variables.tf

details

variables.tf

By default, it looks for main.tf and will keep variables in the resulting variables.tf in the order found in the main.tf. If variables are included more than once, they will only be listed once in the resulting variables.tf. If you do not --force overwriting, scratchrelaxtv will create new variables.tf files with each run: variables.1.tf, variables.2.tf and so on.

modstub.tf

scratchrelaxtv can also be used to generate a module usage stub. By default, it looks for variables.tf and will keep variables in the resulting modstub.tf in the order found in the variables.tf. If variables are included more than once, they will only be listed once in the resulting modstub.tf. If you do not --force overwriting, scratchrelaxtv will create new modstub.tf files with each run: modstub.1.tf, modstub.2.tf and so on.

remove files

scratchrelaxtv can also tidy up your directories by removing its own extra generated files. Presumably it will only remove files you no longer need but be careful. This chart shows examples of what would be deleted or not.

scratchrelaxtv removes files in the current directory and subdirectories.

Filename	Deleted?
variables.tf	no
modstub.tf	yes
modstub.1.tf	yes
variables.1.tf	yes
xyz.abc	no
variables.a.tf	no
variables.43.tf	yes
modstub	no
modstub..tf	no
