Terraform Provider: Helpers

Utility Terraform provider that adds reusable helper functions to extend Terraform language capabilities.

Quick Start

Terraform 1.8+ is required to use provider functions.

terraform {
  required_providers {
    helpers = {
      source = "registry.terraform.io/inventium-tech/helpers"
    }
  }
}

locals {
  target_object = {
    key1 = "value1"
  }
}

output "updated_value" {
  value = provider::helpers::object_set_value(local.target_object, "key1", "new_value", "write_all")
}

Then run:

terraform init
terraform apply

Expected result: output updated_value = {"key1" = "new_value"}.

What It Does

• Adds helper functions that complement built-in Terraform functions.
• Supports object, collection, and OS-environment function use cases.
• Focuses on function-only extensions (no resources or data sources).

Available Functions

• Collection:
  • collection_filter
• Object:
  • object_set_value
  • object_filter_keys
  • object_contains_keys
• OS: os_get_env, os_check_env
