Re: [terraform] How to use JSON file as input (value of a variable) in Terraform configuration file?

[Marco Aurélio]

Hi Gary,

You can use the "heredoc" style as described here: https://www.terraform.io/docs/configuration/expressions.html#string-literals

That way you should be able to specify the JSON attribute in the following manner:

resource "aws_dms_replication_task" "test" {

  ...

 table_mappings            = <<EOF
{
  "Key": "value
}
EOF

  ...

 }

Hello! I am new to Terraform, and would appreciate any advice.

I need to create a resource of aws_dms_replication_task. For the two arguments "replication_task_settings" and "table_mappings", I already have JSON files from AWS CLI. Could you please guide me to use JSON files as input? Also, if could point me to a reference document, it would be a great help. The Terraform document only tells me to use escaped JSON string for these two arguments, which is hard to code and read because my table mappings are very complex.

Thank you in advance.

Gary
