v0.19.1

Include all context inputs as normalized outputs @Nuru (#100)

Enhancement to #99

what

• Include all context inputs as normalized outputs

why

• Enable a consistent pattern of module.this.context.var to reference the input value with null defaults and module.this.var to reference the normalized value with nulls replaced by actual default values.

references

• See #99: Standardize context for input and chaining

v0.19.0

Standardize `context` for input and chaining @Nuru (#99)

what

• Refine the context object concept:
  • The previous context output contained normalized and generated data. This has now been renamed normalized_context
  • The new context object output simply propagates the input unmodified
  • The new context.tf file can be dropped into any module to provide standard context inputs and a context output (module.this.context) that can be fed into other modules
• Refine the id length limit:
  • Rename id_max_length to id_length_limit
  • Prevent consecutive delimiters and at the same time ensure that if the id is truncated, it is truncate to exactly id_length_limit characters
• Ensure that it is possible to eliminate delimiters by setting delimiter = "". Closes #77
• Add additional tests for all of the above.

why

• Provide a consistent interface to our modules, allow chaining, and provide something like a global setting as requested in #88
• Make length limit for id more intuitive. Since id is also used as a tag value, and AWS limits tag value length to 255 characters, limit the id length by default so it will not break AWS.
• Some environments do not allow non-alphabetic characters in names
• Greater code coverage for testing helps prevent bugs from creeping in as new features are added

0.18.0: Add id_max_length

This is a pre-release, to thank @tibbing for his contribution. There will be breaking changes to this feature in the next release.

#98 Thanks to @tibbing

• Adds a new optional variable id_max_length, that when set to a value greater than 0 will limit the length of ID output to given value.
• The truncated ID is still disambiguated by suffixing the first 5 characters of the md5 hash of the full ID.
• The full ID will still be available as a new output id_full.
• The default value of id_max_length is 0, so that the change is not breaking any existing usages.

0.16.0 Removed unnecessary step for tags_as_list_of_maps

what

• Cleaned up code, removed unnecessary step
• Removed provider code for null_resource from versions

why

• Cleaner code
• Closes #82

0.15.0 Drop `null_resource`

what

• Replace null_resource with Terraform 0.12 for-logic

Why

• No provider dependency, less resources

0.14.1 Fix example

what

• Fix example
• Apply TF 0.12 syntax

why

• Remove TF version pinning from the provider in the example
• TF 0.12 prefers using list index to get items from a list

0.14.0

what

• Use required_providers to pin Terraform providers

why

• Pinning the module's providers version in required_providers block allows specifying only the required provider version for the module without the need to specify all providers with versions explicitly

0.13.0 Add `versions.tf`

what

• Add versions.tf

why

• Standardize on a file name to pin Terraform and provider versions
• The file with a standard name is easy to check manually by users and automatically by scripts
• versions.tf is also automatically added by terraform 0.12upgrade tool

0.12.2 Update Codefresh badge

what

• Update Codefresh badge

why

• Codefresh test pipeline has been moved to Codefresh terraform-modules project
