• Node.js: Requires Node.js version 18 or higher. Make sure to have the appropriate version installed before using ElasticSprout.

node --version

• ts-node: Necessary for running the acceptance tests. Ensure you have ts-node installed globally or as a development dependency.

npm install -g ts-node

OR

npm install ts-node --save-dev

Install

npm install elasticsprout

Usage

import ElasticSprout from 'elasticsprout';

const sprout = new ElasticSprout({
  credentials: {
    accessKeyId: 'YOUR_ACCESS_KEY',
    secretAccessKey: 'YOUR_SECRET_KEY'
  },
  region: 'ap-southeast-2'
});

// Deploy configuration
const deployConfig = {
  archiveFilePath: 'PATH_TO_YOUR_ZIP_FILE',
  environmentName: 'YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_NAME',
  awsStackName: '64bit Amazon Linux 2023 v6.0.1 running Node.js 18',
  tags: [
    {
      Key: 'YOUR_TAG_KEY',
      Value: 'YOUR_TAG_VALUE'
    },
    // ... additional tags as needed
  ]
};

// Deploy using async/await
async function deployApp() {
  try {
    const data = await sprout.deploy(deployConfig);
    /*
    Outputs:
    {
      appName: 'test-website',
      appVersion: 'foo',
      envName: 'test-website-prod',
      envUrl: 'tech-website-12345.ap-southeast-2.elasticbeanstalk.com'
    }
    */
    console.log(data);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error during deployment:', error);
  }
}

deployApp();

Unit test

npm run test

Acceptance test

• Create credentials.json within folder acceptance

{
  "credentials": {
    "accessKeyId": "XXX",
    "secretAccessKey": "XXX"
  },
  "region": "ap-southeast-2"
}

• Run ts-node acceptance/index.ts
• It should create automatically two random elasticbeanstalk environments
