Property Lists

[dlahn]

Some properties within CloudFormation resources require lists. In Cfer at the moment, to denote this, you would need to do something like this:

  load_balancers [{
    "ContainerName": "nginx",
    "ContainerPort": 80,
    "TargetGroupARN": {"Ref": "ELBV2TargetGroup"}
  }]

It would be nice if this would fit into the regular Cfer DSL such as something like this:

   load_balancers [{
     container_name "nginx"
     container_port 80
     target_group_arn Fn::Ref(:ELBV2TargetGroup)
   }]

This would allow you to create a list, and also have many elements, while maintaining the regular syntax.
