Effortless Configuration Management with HCL

retab streamlines your configuration workflow by transforming human-readable HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language) files into YAML or JSON. Enjoy the benefits of:

• Simplified Syntax: Write cleaner, more maintainable configurations using HCL.
• Flexible Output: Generate YAML or JSON output to match your project's requirements.
• Improved Readability: Automatically format HCL files for optimal clarity and consistency.

Installation

go install github.com/walteh/retab/cmd/retab

Usage

Important

Files must be located in a .retab directory and have the .retab extension.

1. Write your configuration in HCL
2. Format: retab fmt
3. Generate: retab gen (outputs YAML or JSON)

Example

# ./.retab/config.retab
gen "config" {
	schema = "https://example.com/schema.json" # Optional
	path   = "config.yaml"
	data = {
		server = {
			port       = 8080
			enable_ssl = true
		}
	}
}

Run retab gen to produce:

# ./config.yaml
server:
  port: 8080
  enable_ssl: true

Additional Features

• Advanced Formatting: Format HCL, Terraform (.tf), Protocol Buffers (.proto), and Dart (.dart) files.
• Schema Validation: Ensure your configurations adhere to defined schemas.
