Question 1

What are .tf and .tfvars files?

Accepted Answer

`.tf` files contain the main configuration for Terraform, written in HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). They define infrastructure resources. `.tfvars` files are variable definition files, allowing you to customize configurations without modifying the main `.tf` files.

Question 2

How do I use this viewer?

Accepted Answer

Click the "Open Local File" button to select a `.tf` or `.tfvars` file from your device. Its content will be displayed as plain text.

Question 3

Does this tool validate or apply Terraform configurations?

Accepted Answer

No, this viewer only displays the text content of the Terraform files. It does not validate HCL syntax, plan, or apply infrastructure changes. For those operations, you need the Terraform CLI.
