trim timestamps

[Mike Bailey]

We could reduce line width by shaving the ends off timestamps when listing a resource:

• remove seconds and miliseconds

Any cons?

not sure about seconds, but definitely could remove milliseconds.
thanks.

awscli-v2 increased timestamp length by 8 chars

We gotta trim them!

aws/aws-cli#5045

Should still be done

This might be hard to do with jmespath as there is no slice or split function at the moment.

jmespath/jmespath.jep#5
jmespath/jmespath.jep#3

There is a jq option if we want to split on the characters T (to get only date) or . (to remove milliseconds)

This will trim them:

$ stacks | sed 's/\([0-9]\{4\}-[0-9]\{2\}-[0-9]\{2\}T[0-9]\{2\}:[0-9]\{2\}:[0-9]\{2\}\)\S*/\1/g'

docker-stack-bash-my-aws  CREATE_FAILED    2020-03-12T12:19:48  NEVER_UPDATED  NOT_NESTED
elbv2                     CREATE_COMPLETE  2021-03-09T13:38:08  NEVER_UPDATED  NOT_NESTED

Much better than without:

$ stacks
docker-stack-bash-my-aws  CREATE_FAILED    2020-03-12T12:19:48.446000+00:00  NEVER_UPDATED  NOT_NESTED
elbv2                     CREATE_COMPLETE  2021-03-09T13:38:08.326000+00:00  NEVER_UPDATED  NOT_NESTED
