Description

A converted variable can be of any type possibly lack type information at all. Each variable is used in the converted code through myVar.value (I think value is even dropped if a property access happens). They should be used according to the type they have and either access through stringValue, numberValue or Token.asStringMap(myVar.value) etc.

Example

Convert this:

variable "default_tags" {
  type        = map(string)
  description = "Map of default tags to apply to resources"
  default = {
    project = "Learning Live with AWS & HashiCorp"
  }
}

resource "aws_eip" "nat" {
  vpc = true
  tags = {
    "Name" = "${var.default_tags.project}-nat-eip"
  }
}
