CLI Reference

The react-hcl CLI converts between JSX/TSX and Terraform HCL.

react-hcl generate <input.(j|t)sx|-> [-o <file>]
react-hcl reverse <input.tf|-> [-o <file>] [--module]
react-hcl init [--refresh]

generate

Convert JSX/TSX to Terraform HCL.

react-hcl generate infra.tsx
react-hcl generate infra.tsx -o ./tf/main.tf
cat infra.tsx | react-hcl generate -

Arguments and options:

Name	Description
<input>	TSX/JSX file path, or - to read from stdin.
-o, --output <file>	Write HCL to a file instead of stdout. Parent directories are created automatically.

Notes:

• File input and stdin cannot be used at the same time.
• When input is -, stdin must contain the TSX/JSX source.
• The TSX module should export the root JSX element as the default export.
• Provider schema metadata is loaded at runtime. Run react-hcl init before generating in a new project.

reverse

Convert Terraform HCL to JSX/TSX.

react-hcl reverse main.tf
react-hcl reverse --module main.tf
cat main.tf | react-hcl reverse - -o ./src/main.tsx

Arguments and options:

Name	Description
<input>	.tf file path, or - to read from stdin.
-o, --output <file>	Write TSX to a file instead of stdout. Parent directories are created automatically.
--module	Include import/export boilerplate in the generated TSX.

Use --module when you want an immediately editable TSX module rather than only JSX elements.

init

Fetch Terraform provider schema and generate TypeScript declarations.

react-hcl init
react-hcl init --refresh

Options:

Name	Description
--refresh	Ignore cache TTL and refresh provider schema from Terraform CLI.

See react-hcl init for details.
