:chocolate_bar: aws-next

A CLI to build artifacts to deploy Next.js on AWS using Cloudfront and Lambda@edge

Install

npm i -g aws-next

Usage

Build your Next.js app (e.g. next build), then navigate to the root of your Next.js project and run:

$ aws-next

This will output the build artifacts under .aws-next folder. The artifacts are meant to be deployed using AWS CDK.

Artifacts

• s3: contains static assets to be deployed to AWS S3
• default-lambda: contains the lambda@edge code to handle all page and assets requests
• api-lambda: contains the lambda@edge code to handle all api requests

Inject environment variables

Lambda@edge does not support environment variables. To overcome this you can bundle your enviroment variables into your Next.js deploy. Alternatively, this CLI injects into process.env custom headers defined from the Cloudfront distribution that starts with X-ENV-.

Contribute

Based on the contribution, format your commit message this way so that the version is correctly bumped:

• If the contribution is a breaking change, put BREAKING CHANGE or major somewhere in your commit.
• If the contribution is a new feature format your message like this "feat: added this new cool stuff". You can also use minor or feature
• All other changes will increment the patch version

In case you might want to skip version bumping just add [skip ci] to your commit.

Publishing to NPM

To publish a new version to npm, just create a Github release. Once you create the release a Github workflow will take care of the publishing process.
