Support listing stack resources and resource status #297

Open rthotakura97 opened 5 months ago

rthotakura97 commented 5 months ago

Rain user here, I wanted to see if its possible to add a command that lists the stack resources as well as the resource status during stack creation or stack update. This is super helpful when creating new stacks. Maybe exposes as another command such as rain ls <stack-name> resources ?

Hi Rohit, can you give me a bit more detail? Do you want to add more verbose output to the deploy or watch commands? Or only to the ls command? How much detail do you want about the resources? Just the names and types, or property values as well?

rthotakura97 commented 5 months ago

Maybe it can be added to the "watch" functionality, but essentially I want to be able to see which resources are currently being created in progress and which were already completed. I think right now there isn't much visibility into it and I think adding this capability would be super super helpful for those who use it.

I think maybe the resource name, the status (CREATE_COMPLETE, IN PROGRESS, etc), and maybe logs associated with it?

Another idea is to also add to the "ls" command to potentially take in the stack name parameter and also output each of the stack resources within it. This could be the resource name and the resource type.
