serverless-export-outputs v1.0.2

Serverless Export Outputs

A Serverless plugin for exporting AWS stack outputs to a file.

By default, this plugin exports all stack outputs to a toml formatted .env file in the root of the project. You can override these in step 4. You can also turn on Create React App prefixing in step 5.

Setup

1. Add dependency to package.json:

   npm add -D serverless-export-outputs

   or

   yarn add -D serverless-export-outputs

2. Add the plugin to serverless.yml file:

   plugins:
     - serverless-export-outputs

3. Choose which outputs get exported (optional):

   custom:
     exportOutputs: # if not provided, all outputs are exported
       - OutputKeyName
       - AnotherOutputKeyName
       - CustomOutput: value # add custom key/value to exports
   
   Outputs:
     OutputKeyName:
       Value: Lorem ipsum
     AnotherOutputKeyName:
       Value: Lorem ipsum
     ThisOutputWontExport:
       Value: Lorem ipsum

4. Override defaults:

   custom:
     exportOutputs:
       include: # if not provided, all outputs are exported
         - OutputKeyName
         - AnotherOutputKeyName
         - CustomOutput: value # add custom key/value to exports
       handler: scripts/env.js # script to process outputs
       output:
         file: ./.env # file path and name relative to root
         format: toml # toml, yaml/yml, json

   Handler at scripts/env.js:

   function handler(outputs, serverless, options) {
     console.log({ outputs });
     return outputs;
   }
   
   module.exports = handler;

5. ReactApp prefixing:

   Format all keys as OutputKeyName → REACT_APP_OUTPUT_KEY_NAME to have Create React App pick them up as process.env variables.

   Note: This will be ignored if a handler is provided like in step 4.

   custom:
     exportOutputs:
       reactapp: true
       include: # if not provided, all outputs are exported
         - OutputKeyName
         - AnotherOutputKeyName
         - CustomOutput: value # add custom key/value to exports
