Module

SOMOD combines Infrastructure, Backend, and Frontend code in a single reusable package called the Module. Modules are packaged, distributed, and reused using NPM.

Start by creating a simple module, then add it as an npm dependency in another module, and so on. SOMOD integrates all dependency modules to create AWS SAM Project and NextJs Project.

• You can deploy the AWS SAM Project using SAM CLI. To know more about AWS SAM, visit their documentation here.
• NextJs is an all-in-one framework to develop awesome UI using React. You can deploy NextJs projects to Managed Server on Vercel. NextJs documents other ways of deploying too.

Structure of a Module

To facilitate the integration and working of the Module, SOMOD defines the directory structure of the SOMOD Module project.

Initialize the SOMOD project by simply running

npx create-somod

NPM zips all or selected files and directories of the project into a tar.gz file for distribution. NPM mandates and defines the content structure of package.json, the rest of the content is the developer's choice. Along with the content of package.json, SOMOD defines the directory structure of whole project.

Let's understand the structure of package.json in the next section.
