# HCL provider for Terraform

This provider allows a module written for Terraform, or any other

Terraform-provider-compatible software, to interact with parsing and

evaluation functionality provided by the HCL configuration language toolkit.

HCL is the toolkit used as the foundations of the Terraform language, but it's

important to realize that this provider is for _HCL itself_, and not for

the Terraform language. You can use this provider to define and evaluate

your own small HCL-based languages, but there's nothing here for evaluating

the Terraform language specifically, since that's Terraform's own

responsibility.

This provider contains only functions. Terraform v1.8 introduced the possibility

for providers to contribute functions into the language, and so this provider

effectively requires Terraform v1.8.0 or later.

## Usage

To use the functions contributed by this provider, you'll first need to import

the provider into your module as a dependency:

```hcl

terraform {

  required_providers {

    hcl = {

      source = "apparentlymart/hcl"

    }

  }

}

```

The example above uses the local name `hcl` to refer to the provider, and so

all of the functions would be called using the prefix `provider::hcl::`. For

example, the `evalexpr` function would be called as `provider::hcl::evalexpr`.
