@ -95,6 +95,17 @@ The three kinds of collection type in the Terraform language are:
element type as long as every element is the same type. This is for
compatibility with older configurations; for new code, we recommend using
the full form.
Maps can be made with braces ({}) and colons (:) or equals signs (=):
{ "foo": "bar", "bar": "baz" } OR { foo = "bar", bar = "baz" }. Quotes
may be omitted on keys, unless the key starts with a number, in which
case quotes are required. Commas are required between key/value pairs
for single line maps. A newline between key/value pairs is sufficient
in multi-line maps.
Note: although colons are valid delimiters between keys and values,
they are currently ignored by `terraform fmt` (whereas `terraform fmt`
will attempt vertically align equals signs).
* `set(...)`: a collection of unique values that do not have any secondary
identifiers or ordering.
