# `map` Function
|
|
|
|
~> **This function is deprecated.** From Terraform v0.12, the Terraform
|
|
language has built-in syntax for creating maps using the `{` and `}`
|
|
delimiters. Use the built-in syntax instead. The `map` function will be
|
|
removed in a future version of Terraform.
|
|
|
|
`map` takes an even number of arguments and returns a map whose elements
|
|
are constructed from consecutive pairs of arguments.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
> map("a", "b", "c", "d")
|
|
{
|
|
"a" = "b"
|
|
"c" = "d"
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Do not use the above form in Terraform v0.12 or above. Instead, use the
|
|
built-in map construction syntax, which achieves the same result:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
> {"a" = "b", "c" = "d"}
|
|
{
|
|
"a" = "b"
|
|
"c" = "d"
|
|
]
|
|
```
