I just wanted to clarify: are you referring to this pattern?

  module "cool_name" {
    count  = var.create_cool_name ? 1 : 0
  }

I've always wanted a simple enable/disable syntax for modules in tf.

Does TF support count on modules now?! The pattern I was referring to is akin to having an `enabled` var that you define in _every_ module (there are ways to make this easier to do [0]) and inside of each module you have a

    local {
        make_the_s3_bucket = var.enabled && var.make_s3_bucket
        make_the_rds_instance = var.enabled && var.enable_rds
    }

Then you use the typical `count: foo == bar ? 1:0` trick where some part of the `foo/bar` conditional ropes in local.make_the_rds_instance

count - Creates multiple instances of a module from a single module block.

for_each - Creates multiple instances of a module from a single module block.

providers - Passes provider configurations to a child module. If not specified, the child module inherits all of the default (un-aliased) provider configurations from the calling module.

depends_on - Creates explicit dependencies between the entire module and the listed targets.

I hope this doesn't come across as snarky, I just wanted to share the doc link :)

Yeah I use the count attribute on modules all the time.

Thank you for replying though, I appreciate it :)
