Hi @DavidGamba,
I think you're describing the pattern that's covered in the HCL manual as Interdependent Blocks. There isn't a complete code example there but it does give some hints on how to achieve it, though written under the assumption that you've already read earlier content like Decoding into Native Go Values.
If you'd like to discuss that some more I'm happy to work with you in an issue in the HCL repository. cty
features can't really help directly with that particular processing model because it relates to HCL's expressions concept, not to cty
's types and values.

Hi @DavidGamba! I think this may be related to #17, but I'm not totally sure yet because I've not traced this through all of the HCL layers to see what the final cty
value actually looks like here.
In the meantime, you might find it simpler to go directly from HCL to a Go struct, without the intermediate hcldec
and gocty
steps, using HCL's own gohcl
package. Because that package is working with HCL concepts rather than cty
concepts, it's able to better handle HCL's own conventions, and as a bonus it will tend to produce better error messages that use HCL terminology rather than cty
terminology.

@apparentlymart thanks for the reply, I'll dive into gohcl and report back, sorry for the delay.

@apparentlymart I have a working implementation using gohcl
(https://github.com/DavidGamba/go-wardley/blob/master/hcl/hcl.go#L131). My problem is that I want to figure out how to do something like:
node user {
...
x = 1
}
node vcs {
...
x = node.user.x + 1
}
But haven't figured out how to yet, that is why I started diving into the cty code.
Any pointers would be greatly useful, the HCL documentation doesn't have any standalone examples that leverage additional features that so far are only seen in Terraform.
Thanks!

Thanks for the pointers, I'll close the issue here and open an issue in the HCL repo if I can't manage to figure it out.
Thanks so much for the great libraries and taking the time to respond.
