hcler

hcler

Encode arbitrary Go types to Hashicorp's HCL format.

Usage

Common types

hcler.Encode() can be used with most common types.

Custom types

In order to support custom types, hcler provides the hcler.Encoder interface, similar to json.Marshaler & co. The interface only requires the EncodeHCL() (string, error) method.
