Closes #1532

Pull Request Checklist

• Testing
  • cdk-init template change?: YES coordinated update of integration tests with team
    • My hunch is that that integration tests will continue to work since npm run build shouldn't hurt anything. However it may be possible to omit this build command.
  • Also ran my own manual test:
    • cd packages/aws-cdk/
    • mkdir foo && cd foo
    • ../bin/cdk init app --language=typescript
    • cdk synth # Resources: {}
    • cdk list # FooStack
• Docs
  • Public docs need to remove references to npm run build which is no longer required.
• Title and Description
  • Change type: title prefixed with fix, feat and module name in parens, which will appear in changelog
  • Title: use lower-case and doesn't end with a period
  • Breaking?: last paragraph: "BREAKING CHANGE: <describe what changed + link for details>"
  • Issues: Indicate issues fixed via: "Fixes #xxx" or "Closes #xxx"
• Sensitive Modules (requires 2 PR approvers)
  • NA

This is cool!

1. Can you also please update the sample-app template
2. We need to update related documentation like getting started, READMEs, integ tests. Having said that, this is backwards compatible, so I guess we can do those after this is merged.

@rix0rrr any thoughts on this? Objections?

@eladb Updated sample app as well.

It's a shame that the documentation is no longer accessible via Github... or is it? Would be great to clean up typos and target areas that need a bit of attention.

They will eventually be available on GitHub. They are currently going through a reorganization...

FYI: Every page in the developer guide, https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/latest/guide, has a link to the GitHub repo (https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-cdk-guide, the doc source is in doc_source) where the Markdown (.md) version of the topic is available for PRs. See the black-and-white cat icon on the top of the page.

As Elad said, we are still making changes to the docs, so sometimes the GitHub repo lags the current dev guide contents for a bit. Feel free to file an issue if you run into any problems. Just tag it with "guide" so I see it.
