@kor/nx-aws-cache

A tool for using AWS S3 as a distributed computational cache for Nx. Forked from the original: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@nx-aws-plugin/nx-aws-cache

Difference with original package:

The original package uses AWS SDK. This fork uses AWS CLI to make use of SSO login.

Setup

Install the package by running:

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

Then run the init schematic by running:

yarn nx generate @kor/nx-aws-cache:init
npm run nx generate @kor/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 file (NOT recommended)

{
  "tasksRunnerOptions": {
  "default": {
    "runner": "@kor/nx-aws-cache",
    "options": {
      ...
      "awsRegion": "eu-central-1",
      "awsBucket": "bucket-name/cache-folder"
    }
  }
}

Using environment variables (recommended)

NX_AWS_REGION=eu-central-1
NX_AWS_BUCKET=bucket-name/cache-folder

Using SSO

You need to authenticate with SSO via CLI

aws sso login

Not being authenticated will not fail your task executions, but you will be limited to your own local cache.

Build

Run npm run build:cache to build the plugin. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory. Use the --prod flag for a production build.

Package

Run npm run pack:cache to package the plugin.

Running unit tests

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

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

Running end-to-end tests

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

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

This repository is based on a similar NX plugin using Azure Storage @nx-azure/storage-cache which was inspired by Nx Cloud Plugin by Nrwl.
