Feature Spec

It is now possible to add new classes to the Wing SDK written in winglang by committing them under libs/winglang/sdk or something like this (for example: libs/winglang/sdk/check.w).

These classes will be "merged" into the cloud namespace by the compiler and will seamlessly be available under the cloud builtin module when used from Winglang code. They will look and feel exactly like any other native Wing SDK class.

xxx.md files placed next to these .w files will also be included in the documentation.

NOTE: These classes may reference each other and other SDK classes but SDK classes written in TypeScript won't be able to use these classes.

Use Cases

As winglang matures, it becomes a great option to author new resources in the Wing SDK. For example, the cloud.Check resource is a great example. Another example is the cloud.Workload, which is currently implemented as an external library but should also be part of the Wing SDK.
