SNS Handel Extension

This repository contains a Handel extension that provides the SNS service. Handel itself already ships with an SNS service, but this is meant to be a simple example extension that people can look at as they write other Handel extensions.

Usage

To use this extension, add it to the extensions section of your Handel file, and then add the sns service to your environment:

version: 1
 
name: sns-ext-example
 
extensions: # This tells Handel to import this extension 
  sns: sns-handel-extension # This is the NPM package name of this extension 
 
environments:
  dev:
    task:
      type: sns::sns # You must use the <extensionName>::<serviceType> syntax here 

Consuming this service

You can list this service as a dependency of other services (Beanstalk, CodeDeploy, etc.). This service outputs the following environment variables when consumed by another service:

Environment Variable	Description
<SERVICE_NAME>_TOPIC_ARN	The AWS ARN of the created topic
<SERVICE_NAME>_TOPIC_NAME	The name of the created topic
