AWS CDK with Deno

Example repository how to use the AWS CDK with Deno.

Getting started

It's as easy as:

deno task cdk synth

app.ts contains the CDK app using Deno
cdk.json points CDK at the Deno app: deno run -A app.ts

Run the CLI directly

Instead of using a task, the CLI can be invoked directly:

deno run -A npm:aws-cdk synth

Install the CLI globally

It's possible to globally install the CLI:

deno install -frA -n cdk npm:aws-cdk

The same command will also update if a newer version is available.

Now using CDK can be shortened to cdk synth.
However global installation is not recommended, because the versions of the cli and lib can diverge easily.
