Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

terraform-generator

npm package npm downloads GitHub test GitHub issues GitHub license

Use Node.js to generate Terraform configurations.

You do not need to have Terraform installed to use this module.

The end result of using this module is Terraform configurations in plain text, you will need to write the text into a file (terraform-generator does provide an utility function to write the file for you) and execute it yourself.

Currently support generating configurations for Terraform version >= 0.12.

API Documentation

Benefit

Make use of all Javascript programming features (some of which is not available in Terraform), e.g. functions, array, loops, if-else, map, etc. to generate a plain Terraform configurations.

You can easily maintain your infra in Javascript/Typescript.

You don't need to use Terraform variables, you can use your own Javascript/JSON variables or use dotenv.

You don't need to use Terraform modules for reusable resource creations, you can make use of Javascript functions.

You can incorporate other Node.js libraries to facilitate your work.

Limitation

The generated configurations are unformatted and its validity is not verified, use terraform fmt and terraform plan to format it and check its validity yourself.

Install via NPM

npm install terraform-generator

Usage

Import

import { TerraformGenerator, Resource, map, fn } from 'terraform-generator';

or

const { TerraformGenerator, Resource, map, fn } = require('terraform-generator');

Initialize TerraformGenerator

const tfg = new TerraformGenerator({
  required_version: '>= 0.12'
});

Blocks

Some block's arguments are not typed, please refer to official Terraform documentation on what arguments can be supplied.

tfg.provider('aws', {
  region: 'ap-southeast-1',
  profile: 'example'
});

const vpc = tfg.resource('aws_vpc', 'vpc', {
  cidr_block: '172.88.0.0/16'
});

Convert resource to data source

import { vpc as vpcDS } from 'other-terraform-generator-configuration';

const vpc = tfg.dataFromResource(vpcDS, undefined, ['cidr_block', ['tags', 'tag']]);

Arguments

{
  string: 'str',
  number: 123,
  boolean: true,
  stringList: ['str1', 'str2', 'str3'],
  numberList: [111, 222, 333],
  booleanList: [true, false, true],
  tuple: ['str', 123, true],
  object: {
    arg1: 'str',
    arg2: 123,
    arg3: true
  },
  objectList: [
    {
      arg1: 'str'
    },
    {
      arg1: 'str'
    }
  ],
  objectListForVariable: list(
    {
      arg1: 'str'
    },
    {
      arg1: 'str'
    }
  ),
  map: map({
    arg1: 'str',
    arg2: 123,
    arg3: true
  }),
  block: block,
  blockAttribute: block.attr('attrName'),
  heredoc: heredoc(`line1
                        line2
                        line3`),
  heredocJson: heredoc({
    arg1: 'str',
    arg2: 123,
    arg3: true
  }),
  function1: fn('max', 5, 12, 19),
  function2: fn('sort', 'a', block.attr('attrName'), 'c'),
  functionElement: fn('tolist', ['a', 'b', 'c']).element(0),
  custom: arg('max(5, 12, 9)'),
  interpolation: `str-${block.attr('attrName')}`
}

Attributes

block.attr('id')                                      // block id, string
block.id                                              // convenience getter function, same as above
block.attr('subnets')                                 // subnet objects, object list
block.attr('subnets.*.id')                            // subnet ids, string list
block.attr('subnets').attr('*').attr('id')            // same as above
block.attr('subnets.*.id[0]')                         // first subnet id, string
block.attr('subnets').attr('*').attr('id').element(0) // same as above

Variables

// You can directly add multiple variable values.
tfg.addVars({
  var1: 123,
  var2: 'abc'
});

// You can also add single variable value while adding variable block to your configuration.
tfg.variable('password', {
  type: 'string'
}, 'p@ssW0rd');

Merge multiple configurations

// You can split your configuration into multiple files and merge them before you generate the final outcome.
tfg.merge(tfg2, tfg3);

Generate Terraform configuration

// Generate Terraform configuration as string
const result = tfg.generate();
console.log(result.tf);
console.log(result.tfvars);

// Write Terraform configuration to a file
tfg.write({
  dir: 'outputDir',
  format: true
});
