Terraform Provider to create XML files

Terraform XML File Provider

This is the repository for the Terraform XML File Provider. This provider will allow you to create XML files from your Terraform templates. This is intended to help deployment of software that depend on XML configuration files.

For general information about Terraform, visit the official website and the GitHub project page.

Using the Provider

The current version of this provider requires Terraform v0.12 or higher to run.

You need to run terraform init to fetch the provider before deploying

The basic purpose of this provider is to create XML files from Terraform templates. Elements can be created or added to existing XML files by simply specifying elements and values in a key=value format.

Example

resource "xml_file" "example" {
    filename = "/tmp/test.xml"
    elements = {
        "root.second-level.third-level.@attribute" = "value"
        "root.second-level.@attribute" = "value"
        "root.doosra-level.third-level.@name" = "some-value"
    }
}
