Deep Merge

deep-merge experiment adds a deep_merge HCL function

Enable the new deep-merge experiment to use the deep_merge(map1, map2, ...) HCL function.

deep_merge recursively merges map and object values. Later arguments override earlier arguments for overlapping keys, nested maps are merged recursively, lists are appended, and null arguments are ignored.

This is useful when composing inputs from multiple decoded JSON, YAML, or HCL-derived maps:

locals {
  config_json_files = sort(fileset(get_terragrunt_dir(), "*.json"))
  config = deep_merge([
    for file in local.config_json_files :
    jsondecode(file("${get_terragrunt_dir()}/${file}"))
  ]...)
}

inputs = local.config

Calling deep_merge without enabling the deep-merge experiment returns an error.
