CDK-GitHub
GitHub Constructs for use in AWS CDK .
This project aims to make GitHub's API accessible through CDK with various helper constructs to create resources in GitHub.
The target is to replicate most of the functionality of the official Terraform GitHub Provider.
Internally AWS CloudFormation custom resources and octokit are used to manage GitHub resources (such as Secrets).

📚 Constructs
This library provides the following constructs:
🔓 Authentication
Currently the constructs only support authentication via a GitHub Personal Access Token. The token needs to be a stored in a AWS SecretsManager Secret and passed to the construct as parameter.
👩🏫 Examples
The API documentation and examples in different languages are available on Construct Hub.
All (typescript) examples can be found in the folder examples.
ActionSecret
import { Secret } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-secretsmanager';
import { ActionSecret } from 'cdk-github';
export class ActionSecretStack extends Stack {
constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props?: StackProps) {
super(scope, id, props);
const githubTokenSecret = Secret.fromSecretNameV2(this, 'ghSecret', 'GITHUB_TOKEN');
const sourceSecret = Secret.fromSecretNameV2(this, 'secretToStoreInGitHub', 'testcdkgithub');
new ActionSecret(this, 'GitHubActionSecret', {
githubTokenSecret,
repository: { name: 'cdk-github', owner: 'wtfjoke' },
repositorySecretName: 'A_RANDOM_GITHUB_SECRET',
sourceSecret,
});
}
}
ActionEnvironmentSecret
import { Secret } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-secretsmanager';
import { ActionEnvironmentSecret } from 'cdk-github';
export class ActionEnvironmentSecretStack extends Stack {
constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props?: StackProps) {
super(scope, id, props);
const githubTokenSecret = Secret.fromSecretNameV2(this, 'ghSecret', 'GITHUB_TOKEN');
const sourceSecret = Secret.fromSecretNameV2(this, 'secretToStoreInGitHub', 'testcdkgithub');
new ActionEnvironmentSecret(this, 'GitHubActionEnvironmentSecret', {
githubTokenSecret,
environment: 'dev',
repository: { name: 'cdk-github', owner: 'wtfjoke' },
repositorySecretName: 'A_RANDOM_GITHUB_SECRET',
sourceSecret,
});
}
}
GitHubResource
import { Secret } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-secretsmanager';
import { StringParameter } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-ssm';
import { GitHubResource } from 'cdk-github';
export class GitHubResourceIssueStack extends Stack {
constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props?: StackProps) {
super(scope, id, props);
const githubTokenSecret = Secret.fromSecretNameV2(this, 'ghSecret', 'GITHUB_TOKEN');
// optional
const writeResponseToSSMParameter = StringParameter.fromSecureStringParameterAttributes(this, 'responseBody', { parameterName: '/cdk-github/encrypted-response' });
new GitHubResource(this, 'GitHubIssue', {
githubTokenSecret,
createRequestEndpoint: 'POST /repos/WtfJoke/dummytest/issues',
createRequestPayload: JSON.stringify({ title: 'Testing cdk-github', body: "I'm opening an issue by using aws cdk 🎉", labels: ['bug'] }),
createRequestResultParameter: 'number',
deleteRequestEndpoint: 'PATCH /repos/WtfJoke/dummytest/issues/:number',
deleteRequestPayload: JSON.stringify({ state: 'closed' }),
writeResponseToSSMParameter,
});
}
