What is this thing?

A self-mutating pipeline definition for cdk apps sourced from GitHub repos. On push to master, CodePipelines will build and deploy your cdk application to whatever stages you have defined.

Installation

npm install --save @cfedk/cdk-pipeline

Usage

• Create Github access token <github-secret>. It should have permissions to read your repo and create/delete hooks.
• Add access token to SecretsManager aws secretsmanager create-secret --name <github-token-name> --secret-string <github-secret> --region <pipeline-region>
• Include a pipeline spec from your cdk entry point:

import * as cdk from '@aws-cdk/core';
import { DeploymentPipeline, makeStack } from '@cfedk/cdk-pipeline';

// Make a cdk construct for a particular stage (allows stage-specific) naming of domains, etc.
// Note that return type of `makeStage`: `(scope: cdk.Construct) => cdk.Construct`.
import { makeStage } from './my-app-root';

const app = new cdk.App();

// Not included in pipeline.
const devStack = makeStack(app, 'dev', {}, stage('dev'));

const betaStack = makeStack(app, 'myapp-beta', { env: { region: '<beta-region>' } }, stage('beta'));
const prodStack = makeStage(app, 'myapp-prod', { env: { region: '<prod-region>' } }, stage('prod'));

new DeploymentPipeline(
    app,
    'myapp-pipeline',
    env: { region: '<pipeline-region>' },
    {
        repository: '<this-respository-name>'
        owner: '<my-github-name>',
        oauthTokenName: '<github-oauth-token-name'>,
    }, 
    [
        {
            stageName: 'Beta',
            stack: betaStack,
        }, 
        {
            stageName: 'Prod',
            stack: prodStack,
        },
    ],
);

• npm run build
• cdk synth
• cdk deploy myapp-pipeline

Once that's done deploying, when you push changes to myapp-github, the pipeline will initiate a deployment of itself, betaStack, and prodStack in corresponding regions. Deployment regions can be the same (normal resource naming constraints apply). Cross-account deployment is not explicitly supported.
