Control stage names and other details

[iongion]

Currently we get Prod and Stag - can these be customized ?

• the stage name
• the stage variables

You can use the StageName property in AWS::Serverless::API resource to customize

Ok :) - but you typically have at least two stages, one for production and development, they have stage variables, how can this be added/configured, how can the variables be customized ?
StageName looks like a singular concept, this means the SAM api has just one stage that you can control. From what I've experimented with, if this is not provided, then Prod and Stag stages are auto-created for you, so in the end it has two but allows just one to be configured ?

Please take a look at the section on AWS::Serverless::Api in the spec (2016-10-31.md). They document how to set stage variables there. What's yet to come is the ability to set these (and the stage name) through parameters for the CloudFormation template.

I would love to see this configuration option when using implicit API definition.

This will come as part of #248. Closing this in favor of that issue.
