cdk-github 0.0.57

AWS CDK Construct Library to interact with GitHub's API.

CDK-GitHub

GitHub Constructs for use in AWS CDK .

This project aims to make GitHub's API accessible through CDK with various helper constructs to create resources in GitHub. The target is to replicate most of the functionality of the official Terraform GitHub Provider.

Internally AWS CloudFormation custom resources and octokit are used to manage GitHub resources (such as Secrets).

🔧 Installation

JavaScript/TypeScript: npm install cdk-github

Python: pip install cdk-github

Java

Maven:

<dependency>
  <groupId>io.github.wtfjoke</groupId>
  <artifactId>cdk-github</artifactId>
  <version>VERSION</version>
</dependency>

Gradle:

implementation 'io.github.wtfjoke:cdk-github:VERSION'

Gradle (Kotlin):

implementation("io.github.wtfjoke:cdk-github:VERSION")

C# See https://www.nuget.org/packages/CdkGithub

📚 Constructs

This library provides the following constructs:

• ActionEnvironmentSecret - Creates a GitHub Action environment secret from a given AWS Secrets Manager secret.
• ActionSecret - Creates a GitHub Action (repository) secret from a given AWS Secrets Manager secret.
• GitHubResource - Creates an arbitrary GitHub resource. When no suitable construct fits your needs, this construct can be used to create most GitHub resources. It is an L1 construct.

🔓 Authentication

Currently the constructs only support authentication via a GitHub Personal Access Token. The token needs to be a stored in a AWS SecretsManager Secret and passed to the construct as parameter.

👩‍🏫 Examples

The API documentation and examples in different languages are available on Construct Hub. All (typescript) examples can be found in the folder examples.

ActionSecret

import { Secret } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-secretsmanager';
import { ActionSecret } from 'cdk-github';

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

    const githubTokenSecret = Secret.fromSecretNameV2(this, 'ghSecret', 'GITHUB_TOKEN');
    const sourceSecret = Secret.fromSecretNameV2(this, 'secretToStoreInGitHub', 'testcdkgithub');

    new ActionSecret(this, 'GitHubActionSecret', {
      githubTokenSecret,
      repository: { name: 'cdk-github', owner: 'wtfjoke' },
      repositorySecretName: 'A_RANDOM_GITHUB_SECRET',
      sourceSecret,
    });
  }
}

ActionEnvironmentSecret

import { Secret } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-secretsmanager';
import { ActionEnvironmentSecret } from 'cdk-github';

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

    const githubTokenSecret = Secret.fromSecretNameV2(this, 'ghSecret', 'GITHUB_TOKEN');
    const sourceSecret = Secret.fromSecretNameV2(this, 'secretToStoreInGitHub', 'testcdkgithub');

    new ActionEnvironmentSecret(this, 'GitHubActionEnvironmentSecret', {
      githubTokenSecret,
      environment: 'dev',
      repository: { name: 'cdk-github', owner: 'wtfjoke' },
      repositorySecretName: 'A_RANDOM_GITHUB_SECRET',
      sourceSecret,
    });
  }
}

GitHubResource

import { Secret } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-secretsmanager';
import { StringParameter } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-ssm';
import { GitHubResource } from 'cdk-github';


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

    const githubTokenSecret = Secret.fromSecretNameV2(this, 'ghSecret', 'GITHUB_TOKEN');
    // optional
    const writeResponseToSSMParameter = StringParameter.fromSecureStringParameterAttributes(this, 'responseBody', { parameterName: '/cdk-github/encrypted-response' });

    new GitHubResource(this, 'GitHubIssue', {
      githubTokenSecret,
      createRequestEndpoint: 'POST /repos/WtfJoke/dummytest/issues',
      createRequestPayload: JSON.stringify({ title: 'Testing cdk-github', body: "I'm opening an issue by using aws cdk 🎉", labels: ['bug'] }),
      createRequestResultParameter: 'number',
      deleteRequestEndpoint: 'PATCH /repos/WtfJoke/dummytest/issues/:number',
      deleteRequestPayload: JSON.stringify({ state: 'closed' }),
      writeResponseToSSMParameter,
    });
  }
}
