Cloud Development Kit (CDK) Support #751
Comments
Over in the jetbrains plugin repo, there was a pointer to this issue as a central place for voicing ideas for both VS Code and Jetbrains, so here goes. In the preview version of AWS CDK EXPLORER (VSCode) gives a nice tree view of all the stacks that are currently deployed from the cdk -- this is great. I'd love to see this functionality in the Jetbrains plugin as well. Things I'd find helpful in this tree view would be a contextual menu for any given node on the tree that let you drill down in various ways. On Stack nodes, for example:
On resource nodes:
On Output nodes: Show the name, export name and value On SSMParmeterStore nodes:
When a Ref appears under a resource node, it currently displays the generated identifier of the thing being referred to. This is useful if you, e.g., use the web console to look at cloud formation to find things out about the thing being referred to. In this tree view, it might be useful to also to display the logical id. For example, I define a VPC:
The generated template will then have some subnets in it, and the tree will have Subnet nodes that have a Finally, in some cases the current tooltip is nothing more than a repeat of what you're mousing over. I'd suggest if there's nothing useful to put in a tool tip, then just don't show one.

@sholtomaud I've created a separate issue to track your idea, please comment there if I misunderstood: #2673 |
There is also https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-cdk-in-electron , perhaps we could use that as a starting point for implementing a CDK UI in AWS Toolkit. |
Describe the solution you'd like
Since this package is already tied into credentialed access to AWS and has some CFN support, it would be a nice fit for this tool to provide support for CDK; starting a new project, synthesizing, deployment, et. al.
Describe alternatives you've considered
CDK is still relatively new to the community, so there are no alternatives other than running CDK commands in the CLI.
