Feature request: Template location about aws-sam-webpack-plugin HOT 7 CLOSED

I've got a couple of other things I want to add and I'll try to get 0.4.0 released in the next few days.

from aws-sam-webpack-plugin.

@daveykane I think I have a similar problem. If I understand you correctly then I could solve this by adding projectDirs to the plugin options with a default value ["."]. It would treat each folder in projectDirs as its own SAM project expecting a template.yaml with the config and creating a .aws-sam for the output.

Example:

If I set projectDirs: ["project1", "project2"] then it build project1 using project1/template.yaml with the output going to project1/.aws-build and project2 using project2/template.yaml with the output going to project2/.aws-build. You would still need to run sam package and sam deploy in each of the project folders.

If I don't set projectsDirs then it defaults to ["."] so it looks for template.yaml in the current folder with output going to .aws-sam in the same folder.

Does this sound correct?

from aws-sam-webpack-plugin.

@buggy yes that sounds like it would work to me, good shout.

I saw you also made an update for the next release to skip functions using inline code, thanks for that and thanks for the great work on the plugin so far.

Hi @buggy
Thanks for such plugin, it's saved me really much time.

I just wonder what's the reason that name of template.yaml is hardcoded? As I know sam allows to specify the name of template in command line.

It's just the way I built it. I picked template.yaml and template.yml because they're the two defaults that SAM uses. You're the first person to ask for it to support other names.

from aws-sam-webpack-plugin.

Yes, template.yaml is used widely. I've just noted that compatibility with running sam build is mentioned as one of the project goals, and sam already has an option to specify path to template and that path can be arbitrary file name.
sam is rather often used tool and this plugin is still gaining its popularity, so I believe I'm the first one, but not the last))

I've pushed experimental support for building multiple projects to the develop branch. Once I run some more tests I'll release version 0.5.0 with it.

@vadzim you can use the projects option to have different template names.
