Mixing
Collection or Template in Terraform HCL
I'm trying to find directions on how to do a pretty simple thing in HCL. I have one block like this
resource "aws_elastic_beanstalk_environment" "qa" {
name "qa1"
#insert settings here
}
And I want to insert a collection of settings where that comment is. But the config is not an array it should be something like
desired_block "settings" {
setting {}
setting {}
}
How would I inject something like desired block?

Unfortunately, HCL can't do that. You'd have to write some sort of wrapper that has the smarts to put the*.tfHCL together.

Instead of creating multiple blocks you can put an array of settings and It would work. Like
resource "aws_elastic_beanstalk_environment" "qa" {
name = "qa1"
settings = ["${var.settings_array}"]
}
Here var.settings_array is an array of settings, like [<settings1>, <settings2>, ...].
