Breaking Changes
Namespaced AWS Provider Resources #1248
We iterated on the namespacing for the AWS provider which got introduced in #1101. Our goal was, to enable custom L2 / L3 abstractions being built with jsii, improve the general jsii support for the namespacing and last but not least to allow both namespace and barrel imports in Typescript. A welcome side effect is a 5x performance gain when building packages via jsii for Python (from ~ 16 minutes to ~ 3 minutes) and likely other targets such as Java or C#
As a result, there are a few minor breaking changes:
- Namespaces are all lowercased now, without a separating character
- Namespaces are all a single word now (e.g.
DynamoDbused to bedynamo_dbin Python - it's now justdynamodb) CloudwatchEventBridgenamespace got renamed toeventbridge
Typescript Example
Before
This was pretty much the only way to use the namespaced provider classes.
import { CloudFront } from "@cdktf/provider-aws";
new CloudFront.CloudfrontDistribution(this, "cloudfront", {});After
Now it's possible to either import the entire namespace, or a resource class directly.
// Similar to before, but namespace is lowercased
import { cloudfront } from "@cdktf/provider-aws";
new cloudfront.CloudfrontDistribution(this, "cloudfront", {});
// new option
import { CloudfrontDistribution } from "@cdktf/provider-aws/lib/cloudfront";
new CloudfrontDistribution(this, "cloudfront", {});See this Pull Request for more details.
