When using classes, show the resource tools in the console.

Use Case

I'm creating a class which is a simple table abstraction.

pub class SpaceTable {
  table: dynamodb.Table;
  new() {
    this.table = new dynamodb.Table(
      attributes: [
        { name: "PK", type: "S" },
        { name: "SK", type: "S" },
      ],
      name: "SpacesTable",
      hashKey: "PK",
      rangeKey: "SK",
      timeToLiveAttribute: "expiresAt",
    );
  }

  pub inflight createSpace(space: types.Space) {
      this.table.put(
        Item: {
          "PK": "SPACE#{space.id}",
          "SK": "META#SPACE",
          "id": space.id,
          "createdAt": space.createdAt,
          //unix timetamp 35 minutes in the future
          // "expiresAt": 35 * 60,
          "expiresAt": 1694700424,
        }
    );
  }

  pub inflight getSpaceById(id: str): types.Space? {
    let data = this.table.query(
      KeyConditionExpression: "PK = :spaceID AND begins_with(SK, :spaceMeta)",
      ExpressionAttributeValues: {
        ":spaceID": "SPACE#{id}",  // SpaceID to be queried
        ":spaceMeta": "META#SPACE"      // Filter for space metadata
      },
    );

    if (data.Count == 0) {
      return nil;
    }

    log(data.Items[0]);

    return {
      id: data.Items[0].get("id").asStr(),
      createdAt: data.Items[0].get("createdAt").asStr(),
      expiresAt: data.Items[0].get("expiresAt").asNum(),
    };

  }

}

When I use this table in my Wing application. I can see the custom resource on the wing console fine. But when I click on the new resource, I see no tools or elements on the right panel to interact with abstracted resources

Proposed Solution

It would be nice for Wing to know and understand that I'm using a table here and show that table (and any other resources) in the panel.

If I use the table directly in my main.w file then I see the table as expected.

In this case it would be great to see the table on the right?

@boyney123 In this scenario, if you click on the right arrow next to "SpaceTable" to expand the resource, you'll find the table inside it, and then you can use the resource tools.

@skyrpex What if we decide on a convention where if a resource has a "default child", then clicking on the parent resource will inherit any UI components associated with the child?
