TFNFR37 - Tool Usage by Module Owner
newres
is a command-line tool that generates Terraform configuration files for a specified resource type. It automates the process of creating variables.tf
and main.tf
files, making it easier to get started with Terraform and reducing the time spent on manual configuration.
Module owners MAY use newres
when they’re trying to add new resource
block, attribute, or nested block. They MAY generate the whole block along with the corresponding variable
blocks in an empty folder, then copy-paste the parts they need with essential refactoring.
