Install

Linux

Here's how it could look for 64 bits Linux, if you wanted hcl2json available globally inside /usr/local/bin:

curl -SsL https://github.com/gorpher/hcl2json/releases/download/v1.0.0/hcl2json_v1.0.0_linux_amd64 \
  | sudo tee /usr/local/bin/hcl2json > /dev/null && sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/hcl2json && hcl2json -version

OSX

Here's how it could look for 64 bits Darwin, if you wanted hcl2json available globally inside /usr/local/bin:

curl -SsL https://github.com/gorpher/hcl2json/releases/download/v0.0.6/hcl2json_v1.0.1_darwin_amd64 \
  | sudo tee /usr/local/bin/hcl2json > /dev/null && sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/hcl2json && hcl2json -version

Use

Single file convert

Here's an example test-fixtures/hcl_outputs/outputs.tf being converted to JSON:

$ hcl2json -i test-fixtures/hcl_outputs/outputs.tf

{
  "output": [
    {
      "public_ip": [
        {
          "value": "${tencentcloud_instance.cvm_test[0].public_ip}"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Typical use would be

$ hcl2json -i test-fixtures/hcl_outputs/outputs.tf -o outputs.tf.json

Multi files convert

$ hcl2json -i test-fixtures/ -o test-fixtures-10/

json2hcl

As a bonus, the conversion the other way around is also supported via the -reverse flag:

$ hclwjson -i test-fixtures/json_outputs/outputs.tf.json -reverse


output "public_ip" {
  value = "${tencentcloud_instance.cvm_test[0].public_ip}"
}
