Useful commands

• rm -rf node_modules && rm package.json && rm package-lock.json && rm yarn.lock && rm tsconfig.dev.json cleans the directory
• npm install projen installs projen
• npx projen build Test + Compile + Build JSII packages
• npx projen watch compile and run watch in background
• npm run test perform the jest unit tests

Tips

• Use a locked down version of constructs and aws-cdk-lib. Even with CDK V2 i saw https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/issues/542 repeating when there is minor version mismatch of construcs. AWS CDK init commands generate package.json file without locked down version of constructs library.
