Serverless Aws Auto Resource Names

This is a plugin for the Serverless Framework. When "aws" is used as the provider, this plugin will automatically insert names for the resources, and if enabled exports, for which none are specified.

Name Generation

Names are generated by prepended the specified prefix and appending the logical resource name converted to kebab case. If a resource doesnt have a name specified the generated on is inserted, but will never overwrite a specified one. This also holds for outputs.

Examples

Using the config

custom:
    awsAutoResourceNames:
        prefix: ${self:service}_${self:provider.stage}_ # myservice_dev_
        exportPrefix: ${self:service}_${self:provider.stage}_export_ # myservice_dev_export_
        generateExports: true

will

MyTestRepo:
    Type: AWS::CodeCommit::Repository

replace by

MyTestRepo:
    Type: AWS::CodeCommit::Repository
    Properties:
        RepositoryName: myservice_dev_my-test-repo

and

Outputs:
    DebugValue:
        Value: ...

replace by

Outputs:
    DebugValue:
        Value: ...
        Export:
            Name: myservice_dev_export_debug-value

Special Cases

Name generation is explicitly defined on a type to type basis, therefore some types might not have names automatically inserted. In which case a warning will be logged (unless disabled in the config). In case a resource you want to be automatically named is not yet specified, please create a issue in the GitHub repository.

And here are some special type behaviour cases:

AWS::S3::Bucket - names will have underscores replaced by dashes, since buckets can't handle underscores.

AWS::SQS::Queue - names will have dashes replaced by underscores

Configuration

Configuration properties have to be specified under custom.awsAutoResourceNames like this

custom:
    awsAutoResourceNames:
            [config property]: [config property value]
            ...
    ...

prefix: String Default: none

The prefix that is prepended before each generated resource name.

exportPrefix: String? Default: none

The prefix used for the generation of output export name generation when specified.

generateExports: Boolean? Default: false

When true, it will generate names for all outputs, which have not specified an export, therefore exporting all of them.

removeLambdaFunctionSuffix: Boolean? Default: true

When true, it will remove the "LambdaFunction" suffix that is autogenerated by Serverless.

appendDotFifoToFifoSqsQueues: Boolean? Default: true

When true, it will append ".fifo" to AWS::SQS::Queue resources that have the property FifoQueue set to true.

logMissingTypeBehaviourWarning: Boolean? Default: true

Whether to log a warning when unknown types are encountered.
