# Terraform Plugin Framework Code Generator

A command-line tool from HashiCorp that converts a Terraform provider code specification into Go source for the Terraform Plugin Framework, and scaffolds boilerplate for new data sources and resources from customizable templates.

Terraform Plugin Framework Code Generator is a command-line tool that generates Go code for a Terraform provider built on the Terraform Plugin Framework, from a Provider Code Specification given as input. Its generate command currently outputs the provider's schema, including validators and plan modifiers with no limit on nesting, and data-model types, with conversion to external Go types such as an API SDK's own types when the specification provides them.

A separate scaffold command generates starter code for a new data source, provider or resource using customizable templates that can be adapted to match a provider's own coding conventions and automatically include API client configuration. It installs from released binaries or through the Go toolchain, and is released as a technical preview under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, with CRUD-logic generation planned as a future enhancement.
