nx-aws v0.0.0

nx-aws

nx-aws is a set of plugins for NRWL NX (a set of Extensible Dev Tools for Monorepos).

@nx-aws-plugin/nx-aws-cache

A tool for using AWS S3 as a distributed computational cache for Nx.

Setup

Install the package by running:

yarn add @nx-aws-plugin/nx-aws-cache
npm i @nx-aws-plugin/nx-aws-cache

Then run the init schematic by running:

yarn nx generate @nx-aws-plugin/nx-aws-cache:init
npm run nx generate @nx-aws-plugin/nx-aws-cache:init

This will make the necessary changes to nx.json in your workspace to use nx-aws-cache runner.

AWS settings

There are two ways to set-up AWS options:

Using nx.json

{
  "tasksRunnerOptions": {
  "default": {
    "runner": "@nx-aws-plugin/nx-aws-cache",
    "options": {
      ...
      "awsRegion": "eu-central-1",
      "awsBucket": "bucket-name",
      "awsProfile": "profile-1",
      "awsEndpoint": "http://custom.de-eu.myhost.com",
    }
  }
}

Using environment variables

NX_AWS_REGION=eu-central-1
NX_AWS_BUCKET=bucket-name
NX_AWS_PROFILE=profile-1
NX_AWS_ENDPOINT=[URL] # default s3.[region].amazonaws.com

Environment variables can be set using .env file - check dotenv documentation.

Disabling S3 cache

Remote cache can be disabled in favor of local cache only using an environment variable

NX_AWS_DISABLE=true

Authentication

Default

AWS authentication can be set-up using default environment variables or using shared credentials, based on AWS documentation.

SSO login

To authenticate with SSO via CLI run

aws sso login

AWS SDK v3 is used under the hood with a support for SSO login.

Custom environment variables

Custom environment variables can be set for an alternate way of authentication

NX_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=[secret]
NX_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=[secret]

Build

Run yarn nx build nx-aws-cache to build the plugin. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory. Use the --prod flag for a production build.

Running unit tests

Run yarn nx test nx-aws-cache to execute the unit tests via Jest.

Run yarn nx affected:test to execute the unit tests affected by a change.

Running end-to-end tests

Run yarn nx e2e nx-aws-cache to execute the end-to-end tests via Cypress.

Run yarn nx affected:e2e to execute the end-to-end tests affected by a change.
