# blossom app_plan:preview

Preview resources and capacity without saving a plan

## Usage

    blossom app_plan:preview [--location LOCATION] [--data DATA]

## Flags

| Flag | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `--location` | Location id (defaults to profile or Account default) |
| `--data, -d` | YAML or JSON data, a path to a data file, or an HTTP(S) URL |

Examples:

    cd path/to/the/app
    blossom app_plan:preview
    blossom app_plan:preview --data app_plan.yml
    blossom app_plan:preview -d '{"app_plan":{"app_name":"demo","environment_name":"production","clone_url":"https://github.com/blossom-examples/ruby-sinatra","location_id":"location-100","services":[{"name":"web","command":"web","port":3000}]}}'

Prints the resources a plan would create and the capacity it needs without
saving anything. Without `--data` the intent is read from the repository in
the working directory, as `app_plan:create` does. Use it to compare Locations or
Service shapes, then save or deploy the one you want:

    blossom app_plan:create --data app_plan.yml
    blossom app_plan:deploy --data app_plan.yml
