Appearance

react-hcl init ​

react-hcl init prepares local TypeScript support for TSX authoring.

bash
react-hcl init

Requirements ​

init calls Terraform CLI to read provider schema information, so terraform must be available:

bash
terraform version

If Terraform is missing or provider schema resolution fails, fix the Terraform setup first, then run react-hcl init again.

What It Writes ​

init creates or updates:

  • .react-hcl/provider-schema/ for cached provider schema data
  • .react-hcl/metadata.json for active provider schema metadata
  • .react-hcl/gen/ for generated TypeScript declarations
  • tsconfig.json when one does not already exist

Existing tsconfig.json files are left unchanged.

Local Support Files ​

The .react-hcl/ files support editor completions, TypeScript checking, and runtime schema lookup for react-hcl generate. They are not Terraform configuration and are not part of the generated HCL review artifact.

Refresh Schema Data ​

Use --refresh to fetch provider schema data again instead of using the local cache:

bash
react-hcl init --refresh
