Introducing: Terraform Provider Query

Background

#

Over one year ago I built a custom CLI tool in Go by hand.

The purpose was twofold: (1) learn more Go, and (2) end up with a CLI-tool able to generate a terraform block with the current latest versions of specified providers, e.g.:

$ tpq azurerm random --hcl
terraform {
  required_providers {
    azurerm = {
      source  = "hashicorp/azurerm"
      version = "4.67.0"
    }

    random = {
      source  = "hashicorp/random"
      version = "3.8.1"
    }
  }
}

A neat little tool to solve a small and very specific problem.

I never published it anywhere. Until now! But to be transparent: this is not the same codebase. In fact, it no longer include the original functionality because in the end I never used it much.

This version of the tool has been completely worked on using an agent¹.

Introducing: Terraform Provider Query

#

Terraform Provider Query or tpq is a TUI tool to browse official and partner Terraform providers. It currently does not include community providers simply because they are too many and a lot of them are not active.

The list of features is modest:

Browse official and partner providers, search and filter by typing.

#

The start view fetches all official and partner providers:

Type to filter the list:

See published versions of a given provider.

#

Open a provider to list published versions:

See release notes for a given version of a provider.

#

Open a version to read the release notes:

Open the Terraform registry documentation page for a given version of a provider.

#

Press d for a selected provider version to open the Terraform registry provider documentation.

Try it out

The source code and instructions for how to install it is available on GitHub:

Try it out if you think this could be useful for your daily Terraforming!

I want to add the ability to browse resources, data sources, etc, for a given provider. I had this feature available for a short while, but removed it for now because it is complicated to get it just right.
