How to use terraform variable into gitlab-ci.yml

I am working on a command in gitlab-ci.yml where I need to read some value from a terraform named locals.tf
Below is the terraform code

locals {
  lambda_edge_name = format(var.resource_name_pattern, "cloudfront-edge")
}

yml code

lambda-deletion:
  stage: lambda-deletion
  image: registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cloud-deploy/aws-base:latest
  script:
    lambda_name = //read_terraform_value_here
    echo $lambda_name;

I want to read the lambda_edge_name into a variable in gitlab-ci.yml file.
I tried many things(which are not even worth mentioning here), but seems like I am stuck at this.

You could just export an output and then read it

locals {
  lambda_edge_name = format("${var.resource_name_pattern}-something", "cloudfront-edge")
}

output "lambda_edge_name" {
  value = local.lambda_edge_name
}

Then in your script run:

lambda_name =$(terraform output lambda_edge_name)

If you can format this output without using variables, you may use hclq, for example:

locals {
  lambda_edge_name = "cloudfront-edge"
}

Then:

cat locals.tf | hclq get 'locals.lambda_edge_name'
