terraform data source output to file

I would like to try if terraform data source will be able to place the output to a text file. I was looking on it online but not able to find any, I plan to perform on getting the load balancer name and after that our automation script will perform aws-cli command and will use the load balancer name taken by the data-source

If your CLB name is autogenrated by TF, you can save it in a file using local_file:

resource "aws_elb" "clb" {
  availability_zones = ["ap-southeast-2a"]

  listener {
    instance_port     = 8000
    instance_protocol = "http"
    lb_port           = 80
    lb_protocol       = "http"
  }
  
}

resource "local_file" "foo" {
    content     = <<-EOL
    ${aws_elb.clb.name}
    EOL
    filename = "${path.module}/clb_name.txt"
}

output "clb_name" {
  value = aws_elb.clb.name
}

But maybe it would be easier to get the output value directly as json:

clb_name=$(terraform output -json clb_name | jq -r)
echo ${clb_name}
