Terraform CDK Provider Project

A project template for projen to create repositories for prebuilt provider packages for Terraform CDK.

Usage

The provider repos are entirely auto generated from the configuration contained in this repo here. There's no manual interaction necessary, except for creating the initial repository - using this repo. The cdktf get command is executed as part of the build pipeline in Github Actions. These jobs are executed on a schedule. Hence, new provider changes will be picked up automatically.

Creating a new provider

Add a new repository over here.

In the newly created repository, all we need is a .projenrc.js file like this:

const { CdktfProviderProject } = require('@cdktf/provider-project');
const { Semver } = require('projen');

const project = new CdktfProviderProject({
  terraformProvider: "aws@~> 2.0"
});

project.synth();

Adjust the terraformProvider attribute as required and run the following commands:

npm install @cdktf/provider-project@latest
npx projen
yarn install

This will generate an entire repository ready to be published, including Github Workflows for publishing NPM, Pypi and maven packages. The only thing which is needed to be set manually are the tokens for these registries:

• NPM_TOKEN
• TWINE_PASSWORD
• TWINE_USERNAME
• MAVEN_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY
• MAVEN_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY_PASSPHRASE
• MAVEN_PASSWORD
• MAVEN_USERNAME
• MAVEN_STAGING_PROFILE_ID

Updating an existing Provider

Commit and push the required changes to this repository here and wait for the auto-release to happen. Once released, you can run the following commands in the target provider repository:

npm install @cdktf/provider-project@latest
npx projen
yarn install

Commit, push and check for the auto-released version.

Development

Whatever needs to be changed in the downstream provider repositories should be done via the code definitions here.

For local development, yarn link might be quite helpful for testing.
