CLI tools

By installing cloudfriend globally, it can provide you with simple CLI tools for building and validating CloudFormation templates.

# either...
$ git clone https://github.com/mapbox/cloudfriend && cd cloudfriend && npm link
# ... or ...
$ npm install -g @mapbox/cloudfriend

Then, to build a template:

# Prints the template as JSON to stdout
$ build-template path/to/template.js

Or, to validate a template:

# Make sure that your shell is configured to make AWS requests
$ validate-template path/to/template.js

You may also specify a region for validation:

# Make sure that your shell is configured to make AWS requests
$ validate-template path/to/template.js us-east-1
