How do I generate a Terraform plan JSON?

Run 'terraform plan -out=tfplan' followed by 'terraform show -json tfplan' to generate the structured JSON payload recommended for this tool.

Does this tool support plain text plan outputs?

Yes, you can paste standard plain text plan outputs. However, JSON format is recommended as it provides richer metadata and cleaner dependency edges.

What resource actions are classified by the visualizer?

The tool categorizes resource changes into create, update, delete, replace, read, and no-op actions.

What is the Show Dependency Graph feature?

It renders a lightweight visual graph of the first parsed dependency edges, helping you understand the order and relationship of resource changes.

Can I upload a file instead of pasting the plan?

Yes, you can use the Plan File option to upload a saved .json or .txt file up to 15MB in size.

Details

What this tool helps you do

Paste a Terraform plan JSON payload from "terraform show -json" or a plain-text plan output. The visualizer classifies resources by create, update, delete, replace, read, and no-op, then summarizes the impact by provider and resource dependency.

How to use it:

Terraform Plan Input: paste raw plan JSON or plan text
Plan File: upload a saved plan file instead of pasting
Input Format: choose auto when the tool should detect JSON vs text
Show Dependency Graph: render a lightweight graph for the first parsed dependency edges

Best results come from Terraform JSON because it includes resource metadata, dependency edges, and cleaner action labels than plain text plans.
