# Terraform Module Library

Production-ready Terraform module patterns for AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI infrastructure.

## Purpose

Create reusable, well-tested Terraform modules for common cloud infrastructure patterns across multiple cloud providers.

## When to Use

- Build reusable infrastructure components
- Standardize cloud resource provisioning
- Implement infrastructure as code best practices
- Create multi-cloud compatible modules
- Establish organizational Terraform standards

## Module Structure

```

```

## AWS VPC Module Example

**main.tf:**

```hcl
resource "aws_vpc" "main" {
  cidr_block           = var.cidr_block
  enable_dns_hostnames = var.enable_dns_hostnames
  enable_dns_support   = var.enable_dns_support

tags = merge(
    {
      Name = var.name
    },
    var.tags
  )
}

resource "aws_subnet" "private" {
  count             = length(var.private_subnet_cidrs)
  vpc_id            = aws_vpc.main.id
  cidr_block        = var.private_subnet_cidrs[count.index]
  availability_zone = var.availability_zones[count.index]

tags = merge(
    {
      Name = "${var.name}-private-${count.index + 1}"
      Tier = "private"
    },
    var.tags
  )
}

resource "aws_internet_gateway" "main" {
  count  = var.create_internet_gateway ? 1 : 0
  vpc_id = aws_vpc.main.id

tags = merge(
    {
      Name = "${var.name}-igw"
    },
    var.tags
  )
}
```

**variables.tf:**

```hcl
variable "name" {
  description = "Name of the VPC"
  type        = string
}

variable "cidr_block" {
  description = "CIDR block for VPC"
  type        = string
  validation {
    condition     = can(regex("^([0-9]{1,3}\\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}/[0-9]{1,2}$", var.cidr_block))
    error_message = "CIDR block must be valid IPv4 CIDR notation."
  }
}

variable "availability_zones" {
  description = "List of availability zones"
  type        = list(string)
}

variable "private_subnet_cidrs" {
  description = "CIDR blocks for private subnets"
  type        = list(string)
  default     = []
}

variable "enable_dns_hostnames" {
  description = "Enable DNS hostnames in VPC"
  type        = bool
  default     = true
}

variable "tags" {
  description = "Additional tags"
  type        = map(string)
  default     = {}
}
```

**outputs.tf:**

```hcl
output "vpc_id" {
  description = "ID of the VPC"
  value       = aws_vpc.main.id
}

output "private_subnet_ids" {
  description = "IDs of private subnets"
  value       = aws_subnet.private[*].id
}

output "vpc_cidr_block" {
  description = "CIDR block of VPC"
  value       = aws_vpc.main.cidr_block
}
```

## Best Practices

1. **Use semantic versioning** for modules
2. **Document all variables** with descriptions
3. **Provide examples** in examples/ directory
4. **Use validation blocks** for input validation
5. **Output important attributes** for module composition
6. **Pin provider versions** in versions.tf
7. **Use locals** for computed values
8. **Implement conditional resources** with count/for_each
9. **Test modules** with Terratest
10. **Tag all resources** consistently

**Reference:** See `references/aws-modules.md` and `references/oci-modules.md`

## Module Composition

```hcl
module "vpc" {
  source = "../../modules/aws/vpc"

name               = "production"
  cidr_block         = "10.0.0.0/16"
  availability_zones = ["us-west-2a", "us-west-2b", "us-west-2c"]

private_subnet_cidrs = [
    "10.0.1.0/24",
    "10.0.2.0/24",
    "10.0.3.0/24"
  ]

tags = {
    Environment = "production"
    ManagedBy   = "terraform"
  }
}

module "rds" {
  source = "../../modules/aws/rds"

identifier     = "production-db"
  engine         = "postgres"
  engine_version = "15.3"
  instance_class = "db.t3.large"

vpc_id     = module.vpc.vpc_id
  subnet_ids = module.vpc.private_subnet_ids

tags = {
    Environment = "production"
  }
}
```

## Testing

```go
// tests/vpc_test.go
package test

import (
    "testing"
    "github.com/gruntwork-io/terratest/modules/terraform"
    "github.com/stretchr/testify/assert"
)

func TestVPCModule(t *testing.T) {
    terraformOptions := &terraform.Options{
        TerraformDir: "../examples/complete",
    }

defer terraform.Destroy(t, terraformOptions)
    terraform.InitAndApply(t, terraformOptions)

vpcID := terraform.Output(t, terraformOptions, "vpc_id")
    assert.NotEmpty(t, vpcID)
}
```
