here’s a dumb general question about CDK for those who are more experienced with it. how do you go about getting helpful details about properties? like this page: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/latest/docs/@aws-cdk_aws-cognito.CfnIdentityPoolProps.html none of these properties are explained at all. no clue what they do. where does one go to learn what they are in more detail?

I usually find the corresponding Cloudformation resource and then read up on it. In this case it’s AWS:Cognito:IdentityPool.

@Ashishkumar Pandey +1. Constructs/Interfacts prefixed with

Cfn

should map 1-to-1 to a CloudFormation resource. So I often go read the CFN doc.

Yep, I use a combination of Cfn docs and the Developer guides, the combo works well for me.

As a side note.. if u guys ever find having to flip between SST and CDK docs, let me know. We want to make sure our docs are actually readable (not auto-generated from code).

okay, I’d be glad to help improve it.

yeah, sometimes I go to the CFN docs and they say the same thing 😄 Amazon is not known for great documentation, sadly.
