# json2hcl

Convert JSON to HCL

## Usage

Download the latest version of `json2hcl` from [releases](https://github.com/anubhavmishra/json2hcl/releases).

### Packer JSON config file to HCL example

Packer JSON config file [examples/packer-config.json](./examples/packer-config.json)

```json

{

  "variables": {

    "aws_access_key": "",

    "aws_secret_key": ""

  },

  "builders": [{

    "type": "amazon-ebs",

    "access_key": "{{user `aws_access_key`}}",

    "secret_key": "{{user `aws_secret_key`}}",

    "region": "us-east-1",

    "source_ami_filter": {

      "filters": {

        "virtualization-type": "hvm",

        "name": "ubuntu/images/*ubuntu-xenial-16.04-amd64-server-*",

        "root-device-type": "ebs"

      },

      "owners": ["099720109477"],

      "most_recent": true

    },

    "instance_type": "t2.micro",

    "ssh_username": "ubuntu",

    "ami_name": "packer-example {{timestamp}}"

  }]

}

```

Convert Packer JSON config file to HCL

```bash

json2hcl < examples/packer-config.json

"variables" = {

  "aws_access_key" = ""

  "aws_secret_key" = ""

}

"builders" = {

  "type" = "amazon-ebs"

  "access_key" = "{{user `aws_access_key`}}"

  "secret_key" = "{{user `aws_secret_key`}}"

  "region" = "us-east-1"

  "source_ami_filter" = {

    "filters" = {

      "virtualization-type" = "hvm"

      "name" = "ubuntu/images/*ubuntu-xenial-16.04-amd64-server-*"

      "root-device-type" = "ebs"

    }

    "owners" = ["099720109477"]

    "most_recent" = true

  }

  "instance_type" = "t2.micro"

  "ssh_username" = "ubuntu"

  "ami_name" = "packer-example {{timestamp}}"

}

```

To validate Packer HCL configuration run the following command

```bash

packer validate packer-config.hcl

Template validated successfully.

```
