// 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.
