Selective deploy

[Akababa]

Allow a command line option to specify which files to deploy, or even better take it as standard input so it can be piped with git diff.

@Akababa Sounds like a great option. I'm happy to help review PRs that include that functionality if you have time to work on it. Let me know if you need help getting started.

I don't know if I'll be able to prioritize this myself right now but I will mark it as a help wanted enhancement. Thanks for the idea!

[Akababa]

Sure, I'll give it a shot. I'm still new to this so could you tell me what the best practice is for taking multiple file names in a command line option, or how to read from stdin in this framework?

@Akababa I'd suggest reviewing some of these resources first: https://serverless.com/blog/writing-serverless-plugins/ https://serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/guide/plugins/

I'm not sure how much use I'll actually be guiding development here, but I'll see if I can find some examples and let you know if I find similar cases.

@Akababa I think we'd love to have this feature still. One of the other maintainers has done a lot of refactoring so changes and new features should be easier to make after I merge this new version today. I'm assigning this to you for now but feel free to reach out for help!

I'm doing selective deploy like this if it helps.

client:
   bucketName: ${opt:client}-${opt:stage, 'dev'}.domain.tld
   distributionFolder: client/${opt:client}/dist
   indexDocument: index.html
   errorDocument: error.html

my file structure is

./serverless.yml
./client/client1/dist/
./client/client2/dist/
./client/client3/dist/

then to deploy via cli

sls client deploy --stage dev --client client1
sls client deploy --stage dev --client client2
sls client deploy --stage dev --client client3
