WIP RFC: Automatically configure account_id and zone_id

[xortive]

TL;DR - if config has perms for only one account id / zone id, fill it in automatically on generate/init

• The configured route in wrangler.toml must include a zone name for a zoned publish
• Zoneless publish don't need a zone_id or route, just account_id and script_name
• Global config has the global api key and email

We have all the ingredients to infer the account_id and zone_id instead of requiring the user to configure it manually using https://api.cloudflare.com/#zone-properties and https://api.cloudflare.com/#accounts-list-accounts.

Open questions:

• How does this look from a developer experience perspective? when should we fetch these parameters and how should we provide choice between them
• Is this a good idea?

Made this WIP while we define those open questions

This is a nice to have feature that we could implement for any single account profiles. Cloudflare allows a single profile to be associated with multiple accounts (or collections of zones), so inferring account id only works for profiles with a single account. The same goes for zone id - there can be multiple zone ids per account so you could only infer them if an account had a single associated zone. If I had to guess, the majority of folks using Wrangler would benefit from this.

i think this should be pretty easy to do with the work that's already been done for whoami. if the user already has their config set when we go to generate a manifest, we can request the relevant account id; if there is exactly one we will fill it in, else we can message next steps.

@xortive Would wrangler login make this outdated?

[rita3ko]

@Electroid i actually think we can make this better with wrangler login. once you're logged in, when you wrangler init or wrangler generate a project we could let you pick an account and then zone interactively and prefill it for you in wrangler.toml
