As a developer working on Nomad,
there is frequent need for copying and pasting snippets of
HCL to and
from GitHub issues, documentation, example files, etc. While
the normal hclfmt command works great on files, it is not
so convenient for web mediums. Pasted HCL snippets into
issues and comments tend to be malformed.
Not anymore! sethops1.net/hclfmt
is a simple HCL formatter for conveniently formatting those
HCL snippets before pasting them into GitHub issues and the
like. Under the hood it runs the hcl2 formatter as a library,
so the output is guaranteed to be well formed. It does the same
syntax validation the hclfmt command would do.
