tm_tomap Function

tm_tomap converts its argument to a map value.

Explicit type conversions are rarely necessary in Terraform because it will convert types automatically where required. Use the explicit type conversion functions only to normalize types returned in module outputs.

Examples

sh
tm_tomap({"a" = 1, "b" = 2})
{
  "a" = 1
  "b" = 2
}

Since Terraform's concept of a map requires all of the elements to be of the same type, mixed-typed elements will be converted to the most general type:

sh
tm_tomap({"a" = "foo", "b" = true})
{
  "a" = "foo"
  "b" = "true"
}
