former 0.1.2

Example

You can create an example for any aws resource by calling former with the service and resource name. In the following example we’re creating an AWS::IAM::User Resource:

root@e41871e1eb3e:/app# former iam user
Resources:
  AWSIAMUser:
    Parameters:
      Groups:
      - String
      LoginProfile:
        Password: String - Required
        PasswordResetRequired: Boolean
      ManagedPolicyArns:
      - String
      Path: String
      Policies:
      - PolicyDocument: Json - Required
        PolicyName: String - Required
      UserName: String
    Type: AWS::IAM::User

Some Resources also have a subtype (e.g. LoginProfile for the IAM::User). If you only want to show the subtype you can add it as a third parameter:

root@e41871e1eb3e:/app# former iam user loginprofile
Resources:
  AWSIAMUserLoginProfile:
    Parameters:
      Password: String - Required
      PasswordResetRequired: Boolean
    Type: AWS::IAM::User.LoginProfile

Of course this is not valid CloudFormation as the LoginProfile is not a valid CF Resource. But it helps when you want to get a quick overview for a subtype.
