nx-aws is a set of plugins for NRWL NX (a set of Extensible Dev Tools for Monorepos).

A tool for using AWS S3 as a distributed computational cache for Nx.

Install the package by running:

yarn add @nx-aws-plugin/nx-aws-cache
npm i @nx-aws-plugin/nx-aws-cache

Then run the init schematic by running:

yarn nx generate @nx-aws-plugin/nx-aws-cache:init
npm run nx generate @nx-aws-plugin/nx-aws-cache:init

This will make the necessary changes to nx.json in your workspace to use nx-aws-cache runner.

There are two ways to set-up plugin options, using nx.json or Environment variables. Here is a list of all possible options:

Important: Environment variables take precedence over nx.json options (introduced in v3.0.0)!

{
  "tasksRunnerOptions": {
  "default": {
    "runner": "@nx-aws-plugin/nx-aws-cache",
    "options": {
      ...
      "awsAccessKeyId": "key",
      "awsSecretAccessKey": "secret",
      "awsEndpoint": "http://custom.de-eu.myhost.com",
      "awsBucket": "bucket-name/sub-path",
      "awsRegion": "eu-central-1",
      "awsForcePathStyle": true,
    }
  }
}

Environment variables can be set using .env file - check dotenv documentation. Files are read in the following order:

• .local.env
• .env.local
• .env

Remote cache can be disabled in favor of local cache using an environment variable

NXCACHE_AWS_DISABLE=true

AWS authentication can be set-up using default environment variables or using shared credentials, based on AWS documentation.

To authenticate with SSO via CLI run

aws sso login

AWS SDK v3 is used under the hood with a support for SSO login.

Run yarn nx build nx-aws-cache to build the plugin. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory. Use the --prod flag for a production build.

Run yarn nx test nx-aws-cache to execute the unit tests via Jest.

Run yarn nx affected:test to execute the unit tests affected by a change.

Run yarn nx e2e nx-aws-cache-e2e to execute the end-to-end tests via Jest.

Run yarn nx affected:e2e to execute the end-to-end tests affected by a change.

This repository is based on a similar NX plugin using Azure Storage @nx-azure/storage-cache which was inspired by Nx Cloud Plugin by Nrwl.
