A few dependencies need to be available in your development system. Please verify they are present or install them.
- Node v20+
- Yarn v1.22.5+
- Docker v20+
Open a terminal and run the following commands:
node -v
yarn -v
docker --version
This should produce the following output:
If you need to install or update any of the dependencies, please see the following guides:
- Downloading and installing Node.js and npm
- Yarn Installation
- Install Docker for Windows / Install Docker for Mac
Run yarn
in your project directory to install and download all dependencies.
The installation process should take around 3-10 minutes depending on the dependencies that need to be downloaded.
You can confirm everything was installed correctly by running yarn -v
. This should show a yarn version of 3.0.0+
.
Make sure that the project compiles correctly by running yarn build
your project directory:
Note that this command also ensures that all TypeScript project references are configured correctly.
In order to setup VSCode, open the project in VSCode.
VSCode may prompt you to ask if you trust the authors of the workspace. Respond with Yes.
You may also be asked if you want to install recommended extensions for this workspace. We recommend to do so since the template will be optimised to work with the suggested extensions.
If you want to install the necessary extensions manually, here are links to the extensions required:
Locate a .ts
or .tsx
file in the workspace and open it. When asked whether to use the workspace TypeScript version, click Allow.
In the status bar on the bottom right-hand corner of the VSCode editor you should now see TypeScript.
Go to the folder packages/static-website-aws
and run yarn watch
. This will start a local development server.
To make changes to the web page, edit the files in the folder packages\static-website-aws\web
.
If you want to deploy your project to AWS, you will need to make some changes to the configuration files included in this project.
Specifically, the goldstack.json in the packages/static-website-aws
folder.
{
"$schema": "./schemas/package.schema.json",
"name": "static-website-1",
"template": "static-website-aws",
"templateVersion": "0.1.0",
"configuration": {},
"deployments": [
{
"name": "prod",
"awsUser": "goldstack-dev",
"awsRegion": "us-west-2",
"configuration": {
"hostedZoneDomain": "dev.goldstack.party",
"websiteDomain": "staticwebsite1-1651273869629.tests.dev.goldstack.party",
"websiteDomainRedirect": "www.staticwebsite1-1651273869629.tests.dev.goldstack.party",
"defaultCacheDuration": 10
},
"tfStateKey": "static-website-1-prod-0397e051cd046f2d46e7.tfstate"
}
]
}
The key properties you will need to update are:
deployments[0].configuration.hostedZoneDomain
deployments[0].configuration.websiteDomain
Also you need to delete deployments[0].tfStateKey
.
For more information on these configuration options, see Goldstack Documentation / Static Website AWS Template / Configure.
You will also need to ensure that you have a valid AWS user configure to deploy to AWS. For this, create a file in /config/infra/config.json
(relative to project root).
{
"users": [
{
"name": "goldstack-dev",
"type": "apiKey",
"config": {
"awsAccessKeyId": "...",
"awsSecretAccessKey": "...",
"awsDefaultRegion": "us-west-2"
}
},
{
"name": "goldstack-prod",
"type": "apiKey",
"config": {
"awsAccessKeyId": "...",
"awsSecretAccessKey": "",
"awsDefaultRegion": "us-west-2"
}
}
]
}
For more information on configuring your local AWS users, please see Goldstack Documentation / AWS Configuration.
Once your AWS user is configured you can run yarn infra up prod
in the /packages/static-website-aws
folder. For more information on the infrastructure commands for this project, see Goldstack Documentation / Static Website Template / Infrastructure.
