Local Requirements

Project Setup

  1. npx baseline-webpage my-app where my-app is the name of your app
  2. cd my-app and npm run aws:profile which will configure AWS CLI with a new profile and is only required for deploying from local (if you have issues please update aws cli)

Run Locally

  1. npm start

Deploying

  1. npm run deploy:dev
  2. The output from the deploy will show WebsiteUrl that the site was deployed to. If you need to find it again you can run npm run info:dev

Deploy a Change

  1. npm run deploy:dev
  2. Allow some time for the Cloudfront cache invalidation to finish to see changes in browser

Adding a Domain

  • Deploy first
  • Set up a Route53 Hosted zone for the desired domain name
  • Create a single ACM certificate for *.$DOMAIN_NAME & $DOMAIN_NAME
  • Add an 'Alternate domain name' to the Distribution that matches your buckets name
  • Edit Route53 and point the domain with an A record to the Distribution

Remove Stack

To destroy the deployed stack so it is no longer on AWS run npm run remove:dev.

Environment Flag

You can add checks in the code to determine if you are in a deployed or development environment. Development will only be for locally run code. Currently cannot tell the difference between deployed staging and prod.

  • process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production'
  • process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'

Pipeline Variables

The main and prod branches will trigger the action/pipeline to deploy. The stage is determined by the branch name being 'prod' or not.

GitHub

Create two Actions secrets with the AWS account keys you will deploy with:

  • AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = xxxx
  • AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = xxxx
