CDK-Hugo-Deploy

This is an AWS CDK Construct for easily deploying Hugo Static websites to AWS S3 behind SSL/Cloudfront.

Usage

Before deploying, run the hugo command in your Hugo project to generate a built site in the public directory.

Typescript

import { App, Stack, StackProps } from 'aws-cdk-lib';
import { HugoDeploy } from 'cdk-hugo-deploy';

export class MyStack extends Stack {
  constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props?: StackProps) {
    super(scope, id, props);

    new HugoDeploy(this, 'HugoDeploy', {
      publicDir: 'path/to/hugo-project/public',
      domainName: 'example.com'  // Domain you already have a hosted zone for
    });
}

Python

from constructs import Construct
from aws_cdk import Stack
from cdk_hugo_deploy import HugoDeploy

class MyStack(Stack):
    def __init__(self, scope: Construct, id: str, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(scope, id, **kwargs)

        HugoDeploy(self, "HugoDeploy",
            public_dir="path/to/hugo-project/public",
            domain_name="example.com"
        )

Prerequisites

Assumes that there is already a Route53 hosted zone for domainName that can be looked up

Why this construct?

Other constructs for deploying Single Page Applicationis (SPA) such as CDK-SPA-Deploy don't account for how Hugo handles paths that end in /.

This construct includes a Cloudfront Function to rewrite paths to ensure /path/to/page/ will request /path/to/page/index.html from the S3 Origin.
