Hi, is there any plan on the roadmap to add handy enums like CDK has? https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/latest/docs/@aws-cdk_aws-cloudfront.ViewerProtocolPolicy.html My guess this is the goal of

awsx

?

We already have quite a few enums already https://www.pulumi.com/blog/announcing-enum-support/

As Piers mentioned, enums are supported in the Pulumi schema, and we have added quite a few to the AWS schema already. Adding new ones is a trivial change, and contributions are welcome.

Oh that's great, I noticed that Enum members do not have their own docstrings. And I love that the class contains the link to the docs! (a year ago I did PoC parsing CloudFormation spec to yield a very similar result) Then I've looked at the

EnumValueSpec

and it looks like it can accept a Description and judging from the generated

CannedAcl

. Providing

EnumValueSpec.Description

will generate a docstring like this? Right? (while this docstring is valid and visible in PyCharm, VSCode ignores it 😞 ) I have an idea for how to contribute quite a bit of these Enums by pre-generating them from the API spec. But I'd need a hand setting up dev env, I developed only a very simple application in Go a while ago (on a different machine)

Fixed in https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/pull/7374

Yes, once 7374 is piped through to the providers that will work.

You’ll need to install go but other than that this should just involve adding the enums to

resources.go

and running

make build

at the root.
