CDK Constants

This repository contains constants that make it easier to work with the aws-cdk (CDK).

Why?

The CDK is awesome but it currently lacks types when initializing constructs such as IAM service principals and managed policies. Finding the right construct names requires diving into AWS documentation. Because there is no verification of these construct initializers, errors are only surfaced after deployment and via a rollback.

This library aims to be an up to date constants library for all things AWS so the above never happens again!

Quickstart

Install or update from npm

TypeScript/Javascript

npm i cdk-constants

Python

pip install cdk-constants

Usage

** TypeScript **

import { ServicePrincipals, ManagedPolicies } from "cdk-constants";

const lambdaRole = new Role(this, "lambdaDomainChecker", {
  assumedBy: new ServicePrincipal(ServicePrincipals.LAMBDA),
  managedPolicies: [
    ManagedPolicy.fromAwsManagedPolicyName(
      ManagedPolicies.AWS_LAMBDA_BASIC_EXECUTION_ROLE
    )
  ]
});

** Python **

from cdk_constants import ServicePrincipals, ManagedPolicies

lambda_role = Role(self, "lambdaDomainChecker",
    assumed_by=ServicePrincipal(ServicePrincipals.LAMBDA),
    managed_policies=[
        ManagedPolicy.from_aws_managed_policy_name(ManagedPolicies.AWS_LAMBDA_BASIC_EXECUTION_ROLE)
    ]
)

Properties

  • AWS services principals
  • Managed AWS policies
