refmt

Reformat HCL ⇄ JSON and HCL ⇄ YAML.

install

$ go get github.com/rjeczalik/refmt

usage

usage:

	refmt [-t type] INPUT_FILE|"-" OUTPUT_FILE|"-"

Converts from one encoding to another. Supported formats (and their file extensions):

	- HCL (.hcl or .tf)
	- JSON (.json)
	- YAML (.yaml or .yml)

If INPUT_FILE's extension is not recognized or INPUT_FILE is "-" (stdin),
refmt will try to guess input format.

If OUTPUT_FILE is "-" (stdout), destination format type is required to be
passed with -t flag.

	refmt [-t type] merge ORIGINAL_FILE|"-" MIXIN_FILE|"-" OUTPUT_FILE|"-"

Merges the object defined in ORIGINAL_FILE with the object from MIXIN_FILE, writing
the resulting object to the OUTPUT_FILE.

The ORIGINAL_FILE, MIXIN_FILE and OUTPUT_FILE can have different encodings.

If ORIGINAL_FILE's extension is not recognized or ORIGINAL_FILE is "-" (stdin),
refmt will try to guess original format.

If ORIGINAL_FILE does not exist or is empty, refmt is going to use empty
object instead.

If MIXIN_FILE's extension is not recognized or MIXIN_FILE is "-" (stdin),
refmt will try to guess mixin format.

If OUTPUT_FILE is "-" (stdout), destination format type is required to be
passed with -t flag.

docker usage

# build the refmt image
docker build -t refmt .

# convert test.yml to hcl
cat test.yml | docker run -i --rm refmt -t hcl - -
