Introduction

% npm install -D cdk-mentor

import * as cdk from 'aws-cdk-lib';
import * as sns from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-sns';
import { TestStack } from '../lib/test-stack';
import { CdkMentor } from 'cdk-mentor';

const app = new cdk.App();
const stack = new TestStack(app, 'TestStack');
cdk.Aspects.of(app).add(new CdkMentor());

import * as cdk from 'aws-cdk-lib';
import { Construct } from 'constructs';
import * as sns from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-sns';

export class TestStack extends cdk.Stack {
  constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props?: cdk.StackProps) {
    super(scope, id, props);
    new sns.Topic(this, 'testTopic'); // Construct ID is NOT PascalCase
  }
}

% npx cdk synth -q
[Error at /TestStack/testTopic/Resource] [ERR:001]: Construct ID "testTopic"should be defined in PascalCase.
Found errors

Available Rules

• Recommends PascalCase for Construct IDs
• Avoid Stack or Construct in Construct IDs
• Detecte strong cross-stack references
