Kikoda CDK Constructs Library

Use this Kikoda CDK Constructs Library to architect and model modern applications deployed with AWS CDK.

Install from NPM:

yarn add --dev @kikoda/cdk-constructs

# or

npm install @kikoda/cdk-constructs --save-dev

Usage

AWS CDK

The Kikoda Constructs library currently only supports AWS CDK v2.

Add this to your CDK stack to create a new Cloudfront/S3 backed website:

import { Website } from '@kikoda/cdk-constructs';

const website = new Website(this, 'Website', {
  stage: <DEPLOYMENT_STAGE_NAME>,
  appDir: resolve(__dirname, <RELATIVE_PATH_TO_WEB_ASSETS>),
  buildDir: <BUILD_DIR_RELATIVE_TO_APP_DIR>,
  buildCommand: <CMD_TO_BUILD_APP>,
  domainName: <DOMAIN_NAME>,
});

Configured Stages

With the ConfiguredStage construct you can pass arbitrary environmental configuration to your CDK App. This is useful when you want to define and use a configuration object in your nested Stacks and Constructs.

import { CodePipeline } from 'aws-cdk-lib/pipeines';
import { ConfiguredStage } from '@kikoda/cdk-constructs';

interface Config {
  foo: string;
}

class MyStack extends Stack {
  constructor(scope: Construct, id: string) {
    super(scope, id);

    /*
     * Get a config value in a child stack or construct
     */
    const stage = ConfiguredStage.extOf(this) as ConfiguredStage<Config>;

    const new MyConstruct(this, 'MyConstruct', {
      foo: stage.config.foo,
    });
  }
}

class MyStage<T> extends ConfiguredStage<T> {
  constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props: ConfiguredStageProps<T>) {
    super(scope, id, props);

    new MyStack(this, 'MyStack');
  }
}

/*
 * Use the stage with CDK Pipelines
 */
const stage = new MyStage<Config>(this, 'DevStage', {
  stageName: 'dev',
  config: {
    foo: 'bar',
  },
});

const pipeline = new CodePipeline(this, 'Pipeline', {
  synth: new ShellStep('Synth', {
    input: CodePipelineSource.gitHub('owner/repo', 'main'),
    commands: [
      'yarn install',
      'yarn build',
      'npx cdk synth',
    ],
  }),
});

pipeline.addStage(stage);
