Parsing arrays?

[phstc]

Hey

How can I parse an array of "objects" attribute?

resource "aws_dynamodb_table" "my_table" {
  name = "my_table"
  read_capacity = 1
  write_capacity = 1
  hash_key = "hash"
  range_key = "range"
  attribute {
    name = "hash"
    type = "S"
  }
  attribute {
    name = "range"
    type = "S"
  }
}

Parsing the snippet above, I'm getting:

{ "resource" =>
 { "aws_dynamodb_table" =>
  { "my_table" =>
   { "name" => "my_table",
     "read_capacity" => 1,
     "write_capacity" => 1,
     "hash_key" => "hash",
     "range_key" => "range",
     "attribute" => { "name" => "range", "type" => "S" }
   }
  }
 }
}

but I was expecting attribute to be an array "attribute" => [{ "name" => "hash", "type" => "S" }, { "name" => "range", "type" => "S" }]

attribute is going to be a child hash.

Here is what I got. I hope this helps ya.

var = Rhcl.parse(<<-EOS)
  resource "aws_dynamodb_table" "my_table" {
    name = "my_table"
    read_capacity = 1
    write_capacity = 1
    hash_key = "hash"
    range_key = "range"
    attribute {
      name = "hash"
      type = "S"
    }
    attribute {
      name = "range"
      type = "S"
    }
  }
EOS

var['resource']['aws_dynamodb_table']['my_table']['attribute']

output: 
{"name"=>"hash", "type"=>"S"}

@xsmaster but how did you get the second attribute?

    attribute {
      name = "range"
      type = "S"
    }

I want to output an array of attributes.

@phstc here is what I did. I use the pry gem for all my testing. Killer tool.

So in a pry session or irb session I did the following:

1] pry(main)> require 'rhcl'
=> true
[2] pry(main)> var = Rhcl.parse(<<-EOS)
[2] pry(main)*   resource "aws_dynamodb_table" "my_table" {
[2] pry(main)*     name = "my_table"
[2] pry(main)*     read_capacity = 1
[2] pry(main)*     write_capacity = 1
[2] pry(main)*     hash_key = "hash"
[2] pry(main)*     range_key = "range"
[2] pry(main)*     attribute {
[2] pry(main)*       name = "hash"
[2] pry(main)*       type = "S"
[2] pry(main)*     }
[2] pry(main)*     attribute {
[2] pry(main)*       name = "range"
[2] pry(main)*       type = "S"
[2] pry(main)*     }
[2] pry(main)*   }
[2] pry(main)* EOS
=> {"resource"=>
  {"aws_dynamodb_table"=>
    {"my_table"=>
      {"name"=>"my_table",
       "read_capacity"=>1,
       "write_capacity"=>1,
       "hash_key"=>"hash",
       "range_key"=>"range",
       "attribute"=>{"name"=>"hash", "type"=>"S"}}}}}
[3] pry(main)>

So now we have the a hash variable called var. Since you want to access the "attribute" I did this.

[3] pry(main)> var['resource']['aws_dynamodb_table']['my_table']['attribute']
=> {"name"=>"hash", "type"=>"S"}

So now i have access to the key name or type. if you want it as an array you can do this.

[4] pry(main)> var['resource']['aws_dynamodb_table']['my_table']['attribute'].to_a
=> [["name", "hash"], ["type", "S"]]

The return is an array with two arrays inside. Does this help? What are you trying to do?

[phstc]

I was expecting attribute to be an array "attribute" => [{ "name" => "hash", "type" => "S" }, { "name" => "range", "type" => "S" }]

@xsmaster I was trying to output an array of attributes like that ^ not an array of containing the key and value of the first attribute.

[phstc]

@xsmaster maybe the attribute name being attribute might be leading into this confusion. But check the snippets in the issue description. I have two attributes and I was expecting an array with the two of them.

[jamesdehart]

Sorry mate. You could take the results and just add them to an array.

@xsmaster I believe we are not at same page. I can easily to the appending or whatever using Ruby, of course.

But this gem: "Pure Ruby HCL parser" is meant to parse HCL, and currently it isn't parsing arrays as I explained in the issue description.

resource "aws_dynamodb_table" "my_table" {
  name = "my_table"
  read_capacity = 1
  write_capacity = 1
  hash_key = "hash"
  range_key = "range"
  attribute {
    name = "hash"
    type = "S"
  }
  attribute {
    name = "range"
    type = "S"
  }
}

This is supposed to return an array of attributes, containing:

• [0] name: hash, type: S
• [1] name: range, type: S

[jamesdehart]

Sorry a little slow here. I have noticed it only ever returns hashes. :(
