Locals

A local value assigns a name to an expression, so you can use the name multiple times within a module instead of repeating the expression.

Brainboard allows you to define multiple locals.

When you define locals in Brainboard, they are added to the locals.tf file and in the same block locals

The table of locals is similar to the table of variables. Please refer to it to understand the different components of the user interface.

Creating a new local

1. Click the Locals icon available in the right panel.

2. Then, click the + icon to add/import variables. It opens the Create local modal.

3. Specify the Name, Description and Value of the local.

If you are using a complex expression in the value field, you need to quote it, as you can mix strings, functions, and variables.
