Introduction

This is a Terraform provider for the following:

• Read Excel file as a data source
• Read INI configuration file as a data source
• Get response from API servers as a data source

Requirements

• Terraform 0.13 or above
• Go Language 1.16.4 or above

Using the Provider

See the config documentation

See config data source examples here

Execution

These are the Terraform commands that can be used for the config plugin:

• terraform init - The init command is used to initialize a working directory containing Terraform configuration files.
• terraform plan - Plan command shows plan for resources like how many resources will be provisioned and how many will be destroyed.
• terraform apply - apply is responsible to execute actual calls to provision resources.
• terraform refresh - By using the refresh command you can check the status of the request.
• terraform show - show will set a console output for resource configuration and request status.
• terraform destroy - destroy command will destroy all the resources present in terraform configuration file.

Navigate to the location where main.tf and binary are placed and use the above commands as needed.

Upgrading the provider

The config provider doesn't upgrade automatically once you've started using it. After a new release you can run

terraform init -upgrade

to upgrade to the latest stable version of the config provider. See the Terraform website for more information on provider upgrades, and how to set version constraints on your provider.

A sample main.tf is as follows

terraform {
  required_providers {
    config = {
      source = "alabuel/config"
      version = "0.2.4"
    }
  }
}

provider "config" {}

# reading Excel worksheet
# ------------------------
data "config_workbook" "excel" {
  excel = "filename.xlsx"
  worksheet = "Sheet1"
}

# getting api response
# -----------------------
data "config_restapi_get "apidata" {
  uri = "http://localhost:3000/posts"
}

# reading ini configuration file

data "config_ini" "cfg" {
  ini = file("configuration.ini")
}
