ctags-lang-terraform(7)

📦 version 6.2.1, in ubuntu resolute, ubuntu stonking

🦋 ctags-lang-terraform ✨

okay so bestie, this is a page from the Universal Ctags manual — section 7, the "random notes" zone — and it's all about tagging Terraform files. no cap, it's short but it's cute. let's get into it 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

like, here's the vibe of how you'd actually call it:

ctags ... --languages=+Terraform ...
ctags ... --language-force=Terraform ...
ctags ... --map-Terraform=+.tf ...

and if you want the variables tea too:

ctags ... --extras=+{reference} --languages=+TerraformVariables ...
ctags ... --extras=+{reference} --language-force=TerraformVariables ...
ctags ... --extras=+{reference} --map-Terraform=+.tfvars ...

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

this man page is literally just a lil scrapbook of random notes about tagging Terraform files. that's it. that's the description. iconic of it honestly 🎀

✨ TIPS ✨

🍓 Extracting variables assigned in Variable definitions

okay so here's the move: if you want to pull out the variables that get assigned in variable definitions (the *.tfvars ones, you know the ones), you gotta pass --extras=+{reference} AND --languages=+TerraformVariables together. both. not one. both. 🫶

the TerraformVariables parser is the one doing the work here — it extracts variables in *.tfvars files, and it gives them the variable kind with the assigned role of the Terraform language. so like, it knows what it's doing. main character energy fr fr 💅
