Overview

An output-only module for converting between units of time, with the intent of producing more readable and less error-prone duration configurations.

Usage

Without this module:

resource "dns_a_record_set" "www" {
  zone = "example.com."
  name = "www"
  addresses = [
    "192.168.0.1"
  ]
  ttl = 43200
}

With this module:

module "durations" {
  source = "github.com/shils/terraform-duration-conversions"
}

resource "dns_a_record_set" "www" {
  zone = "example.com."
  name = "www"
  addresses = [
    "192.168.0.1"
  ]
  ttl = 12 * module.durations.hours_to_seconds
}

Future

This module won't be necessary once one of the following proposals are implemented:

• hashicorp/terraform#27063
• hashicorp/terraform#27048
• hashicorp/terraform#2771
