Reuse SOMOD Module

SOMOD framework is designed by keeping reusability at its core.

Add the required modules as npm dependencies to the current module. The SOMOD CLI will take care of discovering and wiring all the installed modules to prepare the AWS SAM project and the NextJs project.

Example:-

The User Management module that we have created in our Getting Started / Develop chapter is available as the somod-example-user-management. Let us reuse somod-example-user-management in a new module.

• Initialize an empty SOMOD module

  npx create-somod --no-files somod-reuse-example
  cd somod-reuse-example
  

• Install somod-example-user-management as a dependency

  npm i somod-example-user-management
  

• Configure the module

  create parameters.json file with the below contents

  {
    "apigateway.http.cors.allow_headers": [
      "authorization",
      "content-type",
      "content-length"
    ],
    "apigateway.http.cors.allow_methods": ["GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE"],
    "apigateway.http.cors.allow_origins": ["http://localhost:3000"]
  }
  

• Deploy the current module
  SOMOD automatically prepares AWS SAM Project for deployment

  npx somod deploy -v --guided
  

• Get the new Endpoint URL Run the following command to retrieve the endpoint URL for the newly deployed module

  npx somod update-params
  

• Start a NextJS server Run the following command to start the UI server.

  npx somod start
  

In the above example, we have created a web application without actually writing the code.
In the Next Chapter, let us understand how to deploy the SOMOD modules.
