### Using an Existing Transit Gateway

If you have an existing Transit Gateway (created via AWS Console or CLI), you can manage RAM sharing and VPC attachments using this module:

```hcl
module "transit_gateway" {
source = "git::https://github.com/DNXLabs/terraform-aws-transit-gateway.git?ref=1.0.0"

name = local.workspace.org_name
account_name = local.workspace.account_name
transit_gateway_account_id = local.workspace.transit_gateway.attachment.transit_gateway_account_id

# Provide existing Transit Gateway ID
transit_gateway_id = "tgw-0123456789abcdef0"
transit_gateway_enabled = true # RAM sharing enabled automatically when transit_gateway_id is set

# VPC attachment configuration
attachment = true
vpc_id = module.network[0].vpc_id
subnet_ids = module.network[0].private_subnet_ids
private_route_table_id = module.network[0].private_route_table_id[0]
public_route_table_id = module.network[0].public_route_table_id
private_network_acl_id = module.network[0].private_nacl_id
public_network_acl_id = module.network[0].public_nacl_id

# Route configuration
public_route = try(local.workspace.transit_gateway.attachment.public_route, [])
private_route = try(local.workspace.transit_gateway.attachment.private_route, [])
}
```

When var.transit_gateway_id is null and var.transit_gateway_enabled is false, this references data.aws_ec2_transit_gateway.default[0].id, but the data source only has count = try(var.attachment, false) ? 1 : 0 in _data.tf. If var.attachment is false, the data source won't exist, causing an index out of bounds error.

Suggested change
data.aws_ec2_transit_gateway.default[0].id
var.attachment ? data.aws_ec2_transit_gateway.default[0].id : null

The ARN construction is duplicated as a long inline string. Consider extracting this to a local variable for better readability and maintainability.

This condition is duplicated in multiple resources (lines 2 and 43). Consider extracting to a local variable like local.create_transit_gateway for consistency and easier maintenance.
