Function to_value

pub fn to_value<T>(value: T) -> Result<Value>
where
    T: Serialize,

Convert a T into hcl::Value which is an enum that can represent any valid HCL value.

Example

use hcl::{Map, Value};
use serde::Serialize;

#[derive(Debug, Serialize)]
struct Custom {
    foo: String,
    bar: u64,
}

let custom = Custom {
    foo: "baz".into(),
    bar: 42,
};

let expected = Value::Object({
    let mut object = Map::new();
    object.insert("foo".into(), "baz".into());
    object.insert("bar".into(), 42u64.into());
    object
});

let value = hcl::to_value(&custom)?;

assert_eq!(value, expected);

Errors

This conversion can fail if T’s implementation of Serialize decides to fail, or if T contains a map with non-string keys.
