» local_file

Generates a local file with the given content.

Note When working with local files, Terraform will detect the resource as having been deleted each time a configuration is applied on a new machine where the file is not present and will generate a diff to re-create it. This may cause "noise" in diffs in environments where configurations are routinely applied by many different users or within automation systems.

» Example Usage

resource "local_file" "foo" {
    content     = "foo!"
    filename = "${path.module}/foo.bar"
}

Any required parent directories will be created automatically, and any existing file with the given name will be overwritten.
