ember-aws-ehipster

This addon simplify the generation of code for model build with JDL Studio https://start.jhipster.tech/jdl-studio/ It also guide you to set up a JSON-API server on top of AWS API Gateway, Lambda and DynamoDB. Since v0.6, it also interact with Cognito to deal with authentication.

It could also be seen as a starter for setting up Mirage, allowing the developper to build a full working application (using mock data) entirely running on the client. Once the development is over, the persistance can be delegated to an AWS API Gateway using a lambda function storing objects in DynamoDB.

Complete code is available at https://gitlab.ippon.fr/bpinel/ember-aws-ehipster

A full tutorial is available on the Ippon Blog :

• in english: https://blog.ippon.tech/a-guinea-pig-in-the-cloud/
• in french: https://blog.ippon.fr/2019/03/19/un-cochon-dinde-dans-le-cloud/

The previous tutorial works perfectly with version < 0.6. For version >= 0.6, you just have to configure your Cognito information in environment.js.

Installation

ember install ember-aws-ehipster

Usage

Generating the application

For generating an application, first use the standard command :

• ember new test-ember-aws-ehipster --no-welcome
• cd test-ember-aws-ehipster
• ember install ember-aws-ehipster

You must notice that the application will not be able to run until you fill the two following conditions:

• Generate at least one entity using the jdl-importer blueprint (see below)
• Give your information about POOL_ID, USER_POOL_ID CLIENT_ID and REGION for Cognito (a full section on Cognito will be given later)

Generating simple entities

Then generate a few entity through provided blueprints using the same syntax as the model blueprint :

• ember g entity-factory blog title:string content:string order:number isVisible:boolean
• ember g entity-factory post title:string content:string order:number visible:boolean

Generating a complete model

You can also use the JDL-Studio (https://start.jhipster.tech/jdl-studio/) provided by JHipster to design your entities and their relationships. After downloading the JDL file simply type the command:

• ember g jdl-importer <jdl-file>

Using a JSON API server on AWS for backend

Just read the README file in the cloud/terraform directory to set up the right infrastructure on AWS. Then got to the API Gateway interface to retrieve the URL for your staging environnement. You should need to start ember in proxy mode to take benefit of this backend storing data in DynamoDB

• ember s --proxy <url staging>

Contributing

Installation

• git clone <repository-url>
• cd ember-aws-ehipster
• npm install

Linting

• npm run lint:js
• npm run lint:js -- --fix

Running tests

• ember test – Runs the test suite on the current Ember version
• ember test --server – Runs the test suite in "watch mode"
• ember try:each – Runs the test suite against multiple Ember versions

Running the dummy application

• ember serve
• Visit the dummy application at http://localhost:4200.
