# Terraform-diff

Terraform-diff helps you detect what Terraform projects have changed when changes are made to Terraform modules.

## Example

Given the following Terraform setup: 

``` 

.

├── modules

│   └── module1

│   │   └── main.tf

│   └── module2

│   │   └── main.tf

│   └── module3

│       └── main.tf

└── project1

│   └─── main.tf

└── project2

    └─── main.tf

```

And the following dependencies:

 * project1 depends on module1

 * module1 depends on module2

 * project2 depends on module3

The logic would be: 

 * if there is a change in modules/module1/, modules/module2/, or project1/, you would want to run `make plan` in project1/.

 * if there is a change in modules/module3/, or project2/, you would want to run `make plan` in project2/

This is where Terraform-diff is useful:

```

$ terraform-diff -h

Usage of terraform-diff:

  -output string

      output format (text or json) (default "text")

  -range string

      git commit range

$ terraform-diff project1 project2

project1

$ terraform-diff --range fbf666c786...ca37f7145f -o json project1 project2

{

  "project1",

  "project2"

}

```

## Trade-offs

``terraform-diff`` relies on git & static analysis of the Terraform files. It will **not** detect, among others:

 * changes in external datasources

 * remote states updates
