feat(core): move all types from "aws-cloudformation" to "core" (#7736)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This commit folds the `CustomResource` and `NestedStack` types from `@aws-cdk/aws-cloudformation` into `@aws-cdk/core` in order to allow code in `core` and other lower layers to use capabilities such as nested stacks and custom resources.

This comes at a minor sacrifice to API fidelity: the provider's service token is for custom resources is now passed as a simple `string` instead of a strongly typed `ICustomResourceProvider`. But this is negligible for this type of resource given the high involvement users require to use it anyway. Additionally, the `NestedStack` class accepts a `notificationArns` as a `string[]` instead of an `sns.ITopic[]`. In both cases the API in `@aws-cdk/aws-cloudformation` (which is considered a stable module) remains unchanged with a compatibility layer added.

We took this opportunity to change the behavior of custom resources so that it won't pascal-case property names by default. This resolves #4896 and resolves #7035 and supersedes #7034.

The API in the aws-cloudformation module are still supported for backwards compatibility but marked as deprecated.

### Custom Resources

Custom Resources are CloudFormation resources that are implemented by
arbitrary user code. They can do arbitrary lookups or modifications
during a CloudFormation synthesis run.

You will typically use Lambda to implement a Construct implemented as a
Custom Resource (though SNS topics can be used as well). Your Lambda function
will be sent a `CREATE`, `UPDATE` or `DELETE` message, depending on the
CloudFormation life cycle. It will perform whatever actions it needs to, and
then return any number of output values which will be available as attributes
of your Construct. In turn, those can be used as input to other Constructs in
your model.

In general, consumers of your Construct will not need to care whether
it is implemented in term of other CloudFormation resources or as a
custom resource.

Note: when implementing your Custom Resource using a Lambda, use
a `SingletonLambda` so that even if your custom resource is instantiated
multiple times, the Lambda will only get uploaded once.

#### Example

The following shows an example of a declaring Custom Resource that copies
files into an S3 bucket during deployment (the implementation of the actual
Lambda handler is elided for brevity).

[example of Custom Resource](test/example.customresource.lit.ts)

The [aws-cdk-examples repository](https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-cdk-examples) has
examples for adding custom resources.

#### References

See the following section of the docs on details to write Custom Resources:

* [Introduction](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/template-custom-resources.html)
* [Reference](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/crpg-ref.html)
* [Code Reference](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-lambda-function-code.html)

### Nested Stacks

[Nested stacks](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/using-cfn-nested-stacks.html) are stacks created as part of other stacks. You create a nested stack within another stack by using the `NestedStack` construct.

As your infrastructure grows, common patterns can emerge in which you declare the same components in multiple templates. You can separate out these common components and create dedicated templates for them. Then use the resource in your template to reference other templates, creating nested stacks.

For example, assume that you have a load balancer configuration that you use for most of your stacks. Instead of copying and pasting the same configurations into your templates, you can create a dedicated template for the load balancer. Then, you just use the resource to reference that template from within other templates.

The following example will define a single top-level stack that contains two nested stacks: each one with a single Amazon S3 bucket:

```ts
import { Stack, Construct, StackProps } from '@aws-cdk/core';
import * as cfn from '@aws-cdk/aws-cloudformation';
import * as s3 from '@aws-cdk/aws-s3';

class MyNestedStack extends cfn.NestedStack {
constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props?: cfn.NestedStackProps) {
super(scope, id, props);

new s3.Bucket(this, 'NestedBucket');
}
}

class MyParentStack extends Stack {
constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props?: StackProps) {
super(scope, id, props);

new MyNestedStack(this, 'Nested1');
new MyNestedStack(this, 'Nested2');
}
}
```

Resources references across nested/parent boundaries (even with multiple levels of nesting) will be wired by the AWS CDK
through CloudFormation parameters and outputs. When a resource from a parent stack is referenced by a nested stack,
a CloudFormation parameter will automatically be added to the nested stack and assigned from the parent; when a resource
from a nested stack is referenced by a parent stack, a CloudFormation output will be automatically be added to the
nested stack and referenced using `Fn::GetAtt "Outputs.Xxx"` from the parent.

Nested stacks also support the use of Docker image and file assets.
