# Pretf

[![Documentation Status](https://readthedocs.org/projects/pretf/badge/?version=latest)](http://pretf.readthedocs.io/) [![Build Status](https://dev.azure.com/raymondbutcher/Pretf/_apis/build/status/raymondbutcher.pretf?branchName=master)](https://dev.azure.com/raymondbutcher/Pretf/_build/latest?definitionId=1&branchName=master)

Pretf is a completely transparent, drop-in Terraform wrapper that generates Terraform configuration with Python. It requires no configuration and no changes to standard Terraform projects to start using it.

Terraform includes first-class support for configuration in JSON files. Pretf generates those JSON files using your Python functions.

## Documentation

The documentation for Pretf is located at: [https://pretf.readthedocs.io/](https://pretf.readthedocs.io/)

## Features and goals

* Drop into any standard Terraform project.

    * Configuration is optional and often unnecessary.

    * Just add Python files next to the Terraform files.

    * Standard Terraform command line usage.

* Obvious.

    * Projects using Pretf are like standard Terraform projects but with extra Python files.

    * Python files in projects are self-explanatory; their purpose is obvious.

* Minimal.

    * No concept of specific Terraform resources, instead there is a generic way to output JSON configuration blocks.

    * Small API.

    * Small project scope.

    * Easy to learn.

* Flexible.

    * Change the entire workflow if you want.
