# Using the TFLint Plugin

> Integrate the TFLint plugin with env zero to analyze Terraform code for syntax errors, deprecated syntax, and best-practice violations during deployments.

## Overview

This plugin executes the `TFLint` CLI to analyze your code and find possible errors, receive warnings about deprecated syntax, and enforce best practices and naming conventions.

This plugin will install the `TFLint` binary, call `init` and execute `tflint` on the given directory.

For more information, check out the [TFLint Plugin git repository](https://github.com/env0/env0-tflint-plugin)

For an example repository that integrates the TFLint plugin, click [here](https://github.com/env0/templates/tree/master/plugins/tflint).

## Inputs

1. `version` (required) - the specific version of tflint you wish to use
2. `directory` (required) - the path to the directory with the IaC code to analyze (the root folder is your project's root folder)
3. `flags` - a string containing additional flags as one string
