Terraform: how to refer tfstate in other directory

[hanks]

like:

- folderA
  - vpcA.tf
  - peering_connection.tf
  - terraform.tfstate
- folderB
  - vpcB.tf
  - terraform.tfstate

I need vpc id of vpcB to set in peering_connection in folderA, Now I
can only just hard coding vpcB id in that file. How to solve this situation?

Thank you for your time.

data "terraform_remote_state" "folderB" {
    backend = "local"
    config {
        path = "${path.module}/../folderB/terraform.tfstate"
    }
}

you can now reference like this: data.terraform_remote_state.folderB.vpc_id

Ensure you output the vpc_id
