Template AWS CDK Python Github Repository

A repository to use as a template for other aws cdk python repositories.

Setup

npm

npm is used to manage all node dependencies.

npm install

pipenv

Pipenv is used to manage all python dependencies.

pip install pipenv

pipenv install -d

pipenv shell

CDK

1. Delete Placeholder Files

Delete the plcaeholde files found in cdk/apps/sample_app/ and cdk/bootstrap/.

2. Rename Application

# Change sample app to your applicat_ion name
mv cdk/apps/sample_app cdk/apps/{app_name}

3. Initialse CDK App

The following will generate all the required files for a CDK python application, though please note, that instead of utilising the generated virtual environment created as part of the cdk init, I've opted to use a pipenv instead. The generated virtual environment files can be discarded.

cd cdk/apps/{app_name}

cdk init app --language python
