CDK Authentication

This CDK project deploys an Amazon Cognito User Pool configured to create the infrasstructure for a basic application for user authentication. It is paired with a React front-end for a full-stack serverless project.

Deploying the back end

1. Clone the repo

git clone [email protected]:full-stack-serverless/cdk-authentication.git

2. Change into the cdk-authentication directory

3. Install dependencies in main folder:

npm install

# or

yarn

3. Deploy to AWS

cdk deploy

Once the project has been deployed, you'll be given the resources needed to configure the client-side React application.

Outputs:
CdkAppsyncChatStack.UserPoolClientId = your_userpool_client_id
CdkAppsyncChatStack.UserPoolId = us-east-1_your_userpool_id

Deploying the front end

1. Clone the client application

git clone https://github.com/full-stack-serverless/react-custom-authentication-aws.git

3. Change into the client directory and install dependencies:

cd react-custom-authentication-aws

npm install

# or

yarn

4. Open src/aws-exports-example.js and update with the outputs from CDK.

5. Rename aws-exports-example.js to aws-exports.js.

6. Run the app

npm start
