using count.index in terraform?

Question

I am trying to generate a bunch of files from templates - I need to replace the hardcoded 1 with the count.index , not sure what format terraform will allow we to use.

You can iterate through the tenant_repo_multi data source like so -

resource "local_file" "foo" {
  count    = "${length(var.files)}"
  content  = "${element(data.template_file.tenant_repo_multi.*.rendered, count.index)}"
  filename = "${element(var.files, count.index)}"
}

However, have you considered using the template_dir resource in the Terraform Template provider. An example below -

resource "template_dir" "config" {
    source_dir      = "./unrendered"
    destination_dir = "./rendered"

    vars = {
        message = "world"
    }
}
