HCL v2 to JSON

Hey there! This project lets you easily switch up your HCL/TF to JSON data, all without breaking a sweat! We're using a super cool WebAssembly package that's been compiled from tmccombs/hcl2json go module to make it happen.

WebAssembly

In order to compile to WebAssembly (WASM), it is necessary to add the command GOOS=js GOARCH=wasm to the build command. This specifies to the Go compiler to generate a .wasm file.

# compile go module to WebAssembly
GOOS=js GOARCH=wasm go build -o src/components/HCLParser/parser.wasm wasm/main.go

Go provides the wasm_exec.js file to enable fetching and execution of Go's parser.wasm code within the browser environment.

To obtain the JavaScript file, navigate to the GOROOT folder. You can copy it to your static directory using the following command:

# update/replace wasm_exec.js
cp "$(go env GOROOT)/misc/wasm/wasm_exec.js" src/components/HCLParser
