// Package earlyconfig is a specialized alternative to the top-level "configs" // package that does only shallow processing of configuration and is therefore // able to be much more liberal than the full config loader in what it accepts. // // In particular, it can accept both current and legacy HCL syntax, and it // ignores top-level blocks that it doesn't recognize. These two characteristics // make this package ideal for dependency-checking use-cases so that we are // more likely to be able to return an error message about an explicit // incompatibility than to return a less-actionable message about a construct // not being supported. // // However, its liberal approach also means it should be used sparingly. It // exists primarily for "terraform init", so that it is able to detect // incompatibilities more robustly when installing dependencies. For most // other use-cases, use the "configs" and "configs/configload" packages. // // Package earlyconfig is a wrapper around the terraform-config-inspect // codebase, adding to it just some helper functionality for Terraform's own // use-cases. package earlyconfig
