Going from objects to TF file?

[Babaracus7]

Any plans to do the reverse? Go from parsed objects back into Terraform file?

I'm as well interested 😊

This is a bit of an odd request given how TF works. Terraform is not like a yaml or JSON it is technically an interpreted language. This means the parsed result does not convert the other direction. Once it is evaluated it is difficult to translate it back. So if we supported converting an Object graph to TF it would not look the same. I think it should be clear that yes, we could generate tf from an Object graph but no you cannot manipulate an existing TF file and expect the same output.
