passing function statement as string in terraform

is it possible to somehow pass and decode the variable in quotes from main.tf to test.tf.

I am trying to do some calculation. But it is different for all the modules. I am wondering is we can pass something like this from one file:

  • main.tf
test = "length(regexall(\"file\", each.key)) > 0 ? [for n in var.dns : n][0] : [for n in var.dns : n][1]"
  • test.tf

Read it in other without quotes and escape character??

test = length(regexall("file", each.key)) > 0 ? [for n in var.dns : n][0] : [for n in var.dns : n][1]

I already tried using replace and trim. It isn't working.

Thank you

Sadly such a thing is not supported in terraform. You can't dynamically pass TF code as strings and then evaluate the string as a code, like eval in other languages.

The closest would to use custom data source which you program yourself. Since you have to develop it, you can program any logic you want.
