s3-deploy for vue-cli

This vue-cli plugin aims to make it easier to deploy a built Vue.js app to an S3 bucket.

Supports:

• Custom AWS regions
• Concurrent uploads for improved deploy times
• CloudFront distribution invalidation
• Correct Cache-Control metadata for use with PWAs and Service Workers

Prerequisites

You must have a set of valid AWS credentials set up on your system.

Installation

yarn add vue-cli-plugin-s3-deploy

Usage

After installation, invoke the plugin with vue invoke s3-deploy.

Answer the configuration prompts. This will inject a deploy script command into your package.json file.

Deploy your app with yarn deploy.

Options

Options are set in vue.config.js and overridden on a per-environment basis by .env, .env.staging, .env.production, etc.

{
    bucket: "The S3 bucket name (required)",
    region: "AWS region for the specified bucket (default: us-east-1)",
    assetPath: "The path to the built assets (default: dist)",
    uploadConcurrency: "The number of concurrent uploads to S3 (default: 3)",
    pwa: "Sets max-age=0 for the PWA-related files specified",
    enableCloudfront: "Enables support for Cloudfront distribution invalidation",
    cloudfrontId: "The ID of the distribution to invalidate",
    cloudfrontMatchers: "A comma-separated list of paths to invalidate (default: /*)"
}

The pwa option is meant to help make deploying progressive web apps a little easier. Due to the way service workers interact with caching, this option alone will tell the browser to not cache the service-worker.js file by default. This ensures that changes made to the service worker are reflected as quickly as possible.

You can specify which files aren't cached by setting a value for the pwaFiles option:

{
    pwaFiles: "index.html,dont-cache.css,not-this.js"
}

Per-Environment Overrides

Deployment options can be overridden with .env files to support development, staging, and production deployment environments.

The .env file options are, with examples:

VUE_APP_S3D_BUCKET=staging-bucket
VUE_APP_S3D_ASSET_PATH=dist/staging
VUE_APP_S3D_REGION=staging-aws-east-1
VUE_APP_S3D_PWA=service-worker-stage.js,index.html
VUE_APP_S3D_UPLOAD_CONCURRENCY=5
VUE_APP_S3D_ENABLE_CLOUDFRONT=true
VUE_APP_S3D_CLOUDFRONT_ID=AIXXXXXXXX
VUE_APP_S3D_CLOUDFRONT_MATCHERS=/index.html,/styles/*.css,/*.png

These options OVERRIDE the config options set in vue.config.js and should be used to customize a default set of options. A common use case is only overriding VUE_APP_S3D_BUCKET for production deployment.
