PDK Nag

PDKNag ships with a helper utility that automatically configures CDKNag within your application.

const app = PDKNag.app();
const stack = new Stack(app, 'MyStack');
...

As shown above, this will configure your application to have CDKNag run on synthesis.

By default, CDK will trigger a failure on synth if any errors are encountered. To relax these, run the following:

cdk synth --ignore-errors

Conversely, CDK will not fail on synth if warnings are detected. To enforce that all warnings are resolved, run the following command:

cdk synth --strict

Instrumenting custom NagPacks

By default, when creating a PDKNag application the AwsSolutions NagPack is instrumented. In order to specify custom NagPacks to instrument, you can configure the PDKApp as follows:

import { PDKNag, AwsPrototypingChecks } from "@aws-prototyping-sdk/pdk-nag";

const app = PDKNag.app({
    nagPacks: [new AwsPrototypingChecks()]
});

In this example, the AwsPrototypingChecks NagPack has been configured to run instead of the default. Multiple NagPacks can also be instrumented by adding NagPack instances to the nagPacks array;
