AWS CDK construct for AWS Chalice
This library allows to include an AWS Chalice application into a broader AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) application.
The following approach to AWS CDK and AWS Chalice interoperability is taken by the library:
Manually create Chalice application (chalice new-project
) with default "dev" stage in
.chalice/config.json
. cdk-chalice
library could perform this Chalice application
scaffolding automatically - create new project, or skip this step if project already exists
in the target directory (this is chalice new-project
behavior). The choice to keep this step
manual (for now) was made to hopefully make adoption easier for developers who already have
existing Chalice projects.
Manually create CDK application (cdk init [ARGS]
)
Use cdk_chalice.Chalice
class to generate stage per CDK stack in .chalice/config.json
and run chalice package
. This is the main purpose of cdk-chalice
- allow passing
CDK tokens for resources, such as DynamoDB table, to SAM template generated by chalice package
(see example here),
and also to automate the packaging process itself.
If AWS Chalice doesn't support certain options through its configuration mechanism, there are two ways to address this:
cdk-chalice
uses AWS CDKcloudformation-include
cdk-chalice
API documentation for example and additional details.The API documentation and usage example are available at https://cdk-chalice.softwhat.com/
Installation
