Martin Atkins	1360948a41	website: document the functions "keys", "lookup", and "values" ... I missed these on the first pass because in the legacy function table they are, for some reason, added in a different place than the others.	8 years ago

Martin Atkins	60ad24229f	website: Link from Configuration index to Resource page ... Since the index page is long, by the time the reader reaches the end of it the relevant portion if the navigation is unlikely to be visible. To compensate for this, we'll link to the first sub-section and thus give the user an opportunity to notice the navigation structure for the rest of the pages.	8 years ago
Martin Atkins	b2e8987f7e	website: Fix references to the now-defunct "Interpolation" page ... This has been replaced with an "Expressions" page. Also includes a number of changes to Markdown style to conform to our usual conventions, applied automatically by my editor while making these changes.	8 years ago
Martin Atkins	6549f24d88	website: Remove the "interpolation" docs page ... This has now been superseded by the expressions.html.md file in the same directory. As part of deploying this, the former URL for this page must be redirected to the expressions page to retain a target for any existing links on third-party sites.	8 years ago
Martin Atkins	c060ecd0a5	website: Document the JSON configuration syntax	8 years ago
Martin Atkins	a6749f9efc	website: Expand documentation of Override Files ... This kinda-weird feature was previously quite severely under-documented in terms of exactly what effect it has. This new documentation for it first attempts to frame it as something that should be rarely used, and then explains in more detail exactly how it behaves for different top-level block types within the configuration.	8 years ago
Martin Atkins	b3239e8f1f	website: Update the "Terraform Settings" page for new style ... As part of revamping the "Configuration" portion of the website for the v0.12 release, here we update the Terraform Settings page to use a similar "guide-like" writing style as the other updated pages in this section.	8 years ago

Martin Atkins	e7d71995f6	website: Document the remaining "collection" functions ... This also renames some of the existing function pages whose source filenames were not matching the usual naming scheme (.html.md).	8 years ago
Martin Atkins	48d940323e	website: Beginnings of "Functions" configuration section ... Previously we just listed out all of the functions in alphabetical order inside the "Interpolation Syntax" page, but that format doesn't leave much room for details and usage examples. Now we give each function its own page, and categorize them for easier navigation. While many functions are very simple and don't really warrant a full page, certain functions do have additional details that are worth mentioning and this structure scales better for those more complicated functions. So far this includes only the numeric and string functions. Other categories will follow in subsequent commits.	8 years ago
Martin Atkins	39579e8d0f	website: revisions to the "Configuration Syntax" page and expressions ... This rewrite of the "Configuration Syntax" page now gives some more detail on the top-level structural constructs and de-emphasizes the name "HCL" as subordinate to "the Terraform language". It also now includes some commentary on valid identifiers and comments, and issues around character encodings and line endings. In addition, we now have a new "Expressions" page that replaces the old "Interpolation Syntax" page, covering the expression language features we inherit from HCL and how they behave in the context of Terraform. The "Expressions" page currently links to a page about the built-in functions which does not yet exist. This will be created in a later commit.	8 years ago
Martin Atkins	e1754970a8	website: Revise the "Data Sources" configuration docs section ... This adopts a more guide-like writing style, similar to what prior commits have done to some other subsections of this section. The data sources page has not got any real attention since the feature was first added, and our vocabulary for describing them and their lifecycle hadn't quite settled when the page was originally written. This new version is consistent in how it uses "data source" to describe the feature that providers offer and "data resource" to describe what is created by a "data" block in configuration, which then allows us to draw on the many shared features between both data and managed resources. For the moment this waits until "data resource" is defined in order to first introduce the qualifier "managed resource". We may wish to revise this again to mention that more specific nomenclature in passing on the "Resources" page, in case a user encounters it elsewhere and wants to learn what it means without needing to be familiar with data resources first.	8 years ago
Martin Atkins	eeb96b1e12	website: Revise the "Modules" configuration docs section ... This adopts a more guide-like writing style, similar to what prior commits have done to some other subsections of this section. Since we already have a whole top-level section devoted to modules, there is no need for full coverage of all of their features here. Instead, this section focuses on an an initial introduction to what modules are and the basics of their usage within the Terraform language. We then link to the main modules section for the full details.	8 years ago
Martin Atkins	fdc8bb6c00	website: Revise the "Local Values" configuration docs section ... This adopts a more guide-like writing style, similar to what prior commits have done to some other subsections of this section.	8 years ago
Martin Atkins	e41883d972	website: Revise the "Output Values" configuration docs section ... This adopts a more guide-like writing style, similar to what prior commits have done to some other subsections of this section. In the process of writing this, I identified some unclear statements in the "Resources" subsection, and so these are also revised here for consistency with the output values documentation.	8 years ago
Martin Atkins	f8f2ff2202	website: Revise the "Input Variables" configuration docs section ... This adopts a more guide-like writing style, similar to what prior commits have done to the Resources and Providers sections.	8 years ago
Martin Atkins	a6cf796873	website: Revise the "Providers" configuration docs section ... These revisions reflect this sub-section's new earlier placement in the sub-section list, leading to a more guide-like style for the initial sections. Also includes some minor copy-editing to align terminology with that introduced in the prior commit for the "Resources" docs page.	8 years ago
Martin Atkins	6fa6a0d110	website: revise the "Resources" configuration docs section ... This is now the leading subsection of the Configuration section of the docs, and so this rewrite intends to make it more "guide-like" and as accessible as possible to those who are not yet familiar with other Terraform concepts. This rewrite also attempts to introduce some consistency into our vocabulary, which should eventually be reflected throughout our documentation. In particular: - "Resource" refers to the block the user writes in configuration, while "Resource _Type_" refers to what the provider defines. We previously used "resource" for both of these interchangeably. - "Resource" is no longer used to refer to what gets created and managed in remote APIs as a result of a resource block in configuration. Lacking a good distinct name for these, this guide uses the word "object", qualifying it as "infrastructure object" or "remote object" where necessary to retain clarity. This distinction is important to enable a clear description of resource lifecycle. - "Argument" refers to an element (attribute or block) within a resource block. This terminology was already being used in some places, so we embrace it here as a way to distinguish from "attribute", which is what a resource _exports_ for use in expressions. - Since interpolation is no longer needed to use expressions in the language, the word "expression" is used to describe the definition of a value that might involve some computation. Where necessary, this is used with a modifier "arbitrary expression" to contrast with situations where the set of allowed expression constructs is constrained.	8 years ago
Martin Atkins	27429b61a9	website: Flesh out the intro to the "Configuration" section. ... The prior content on this page was little more than an instruction to begin navigating the sub-sections of this section. The new content aims to give a broad overview of some of the language concepts and a syntax example, in order to create some context to help the user navigate the subsections more easily. This also introduces for the first time usage of the term "the Terraform language". This was previously left un-named, leading to some awkward sentence constructions elsewhere in the docs. This new name gives us some specific terminology to use in order to contrast the language that exists at Terraform's level of abstraction, defining the semantics, from the underlying grammar provided by HCL.	8 years ago
Martin Atkins	e5e3452ffa	website: Reorganize the "Configuration" docs section ... With the additional configuration language features coming in Terraform v0.12, our existing documentation structure is beginning to strain. Here we reorganize the navigation slightly in order to introduce the concepts in a more appropriate order so that we can reveal complexity more gradually. Subsequent commits will revise the content of these pages to better reflect the new sequencing. The "Environment Variables" page is moved from the Configuration section into the "Commands" section, since it is not considered a part of the configuration language and thus more appropriate in the CLI documentation. The old placement is reflective of the broader purpose that the "Configuration" section had originally, but its new focus will be on the Terraform language (.tf files) in particular, with other aspects of customizing Terraforms behavior covered in other sections.	8 years ago

This commit doesn't stand alone; it's paired with a commit in the terraform-website repo, to deal with some related content in the "extend" section.	8 years ago
