Support for auto-complete of Logical ID or Parameters #8

Closed tekdj7 closed 5 days ago

It be great if when doing !Ref or !Sub, for example, provide auto-complete that shows the Parameters/LogicalIDs. And autocomplete support for Attributes too.

@fastplayer95 thanks for the suggestion. I don't recall all the differences between that solution and this one. However, I did open an issue against that solution being incomplete. See here.

Yes it's a bit out of scope for this extension since the snippets are all generated and static. If you'd like a more dynamic autocomplete/reference in vscode when building infrastructure on AWS, I would highly recommend to switch to AWS CDK (TypeScript): https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/v2/guide/work-with-cdk-typescript.html
