Terraform Docs Navigator

A Visual Studio Code extension that helps you quickly look up Terraform resource definitions and module documentation directly from your code.

Features

  • Resource Documentation: Quickly access official Terraform documentation for resources and data sources
  • Module Navigation:
    • For local modules: Jump directly to the module's main configuration file
    • For registry modules: Open the module's documentation in the Terraform Registry
    • For private modules: Navigate to the module in your private registry (supports Terraform Cloud)

Usage

  1. Place your cursor on a Terraform resource, data source, or module declaration
  2. Either:
    • Press Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+P (Mac) and run the "Look up Terraform resource" command
    • Use the "Go to Definition" feature (F12 or Ctrl+click)

Example:

resource "aws_instance" "web" {  # <- Place cursor here and trigger the command
  ami           = "ami-123456"
  instance_type = "t2.micro"
}
