API Reference

Submodules

The following submodules are available:

Constructs

Component

Represents a project component.

Initializers

import { Component } from 'projen'

new Component(scope: IConstruct, id?: string)
NameTypeDescription
scope
constructs.IConstructNo description.
id
stringNo description.

scopeRequired
  • Type: constructs.IConstruct

idOptional
  • Type: string

Methods

NameDescription
toString
Returns a string representation of this construct.
postSynthesize
Called after synthesis.
preSynthesize
Called before synthesis.
synthesize
Synthesizes files to the project output directory.

toString
public toString(): string

Returns a string representation of this construct.

postSynthesize
public postSynthesize(): void

Called after synthesis.

Order is not guaranteed.

preSynthesize
public preSynthesize(): void

Static Functions

NameDescription
isConstruct
Checks if x is a construct.
isComponent
Test whether the given construct is a component.

isConstruct
import { Component } from 'projen'

Component.isConstruct(x: any)

Checks if x is a construct.

Use this method instead of instanceof to properly detect Construct instances, even when the construct library is symlinked.

Explanation: in JavaScript, multiple copies of the constructs library on disk are seen as independent, completely different libraries. As a consequence, the class Construct in each copy of the constructs library is seen as a different class, and an instance of one class will not test as instanceof the other class. npm install will not create installations like this, but users may manually symlink construct libraries together or use a monorepo tool: in those cases, multiple copies of the constructs library can be accidentally installed, and instanceof will behave unpredictably. It is safest to avoid using instanceof, and using this type-testing method instead.

Dependencies

The Dependencies component is responsible to track the list of dependencies a project has, and then used by project types as the model for rendering project-specific dependency manifests such as the dependencies section package.json files.

The path of the value to delete.


addOverride
public addOverride(path: string, value: any): void

Adds an override to the synthesized object file.

If the override is nested, separate each nested level using a dot (.) in the path parameter. If there is an array as part of the nesting, specify the index in the path.

To include a literal . in the property name, prefix with a \. In most programming languages you will need to write this as "\\." because the \ itself will need to be escaped.

For example,

project.tsconfig.file.addOverride('compilerOptions.alwaysStrict', true);
project.tsconfig.file.addOverride('compilerOptions.lib', ['dom', 'dom.iterable', 'esnext']);

would add the overrides

"compilerOptions": {
"alwaysStrict": true,
"lib": [
"dom",
"dom.iterable",
"esnext"
]
...
}
...
pathRequired
  • Type: string

The path of the property, you can use dot notation to override values in complex types.

Any intermediate keys will be created as needed.


valueRequired
  • Type: any

The value.

Could be primitive or complex.


addToArray
public addToArray(path: string, values: any): void

Adds to an array in the synthesized object file.

If the array is nested, separate each nested level using a dot (.) in the path parameter. If there is an array as part of the nesting, specify the index in the path.

To include a literal . in the property name, prefix with a \. In most programming languages you will need to write this as "\\." because the \ itself will need to be escaped.

For example, with the following object file

"compilerOptions": {
"exclude": ["node_modules"],
"lib": ["es2019"]
...
}
...
project.tsconfig.file.addToArray('compilerOptions.exclude', 'coverage');
project.tsconfig.file.addToArray('compilerOptions.lib', 'dom', 'dom.iterable', 'esnext');

would result in the following object file

"compilerOptions": {
"exclude": ["node_modules", "coverage"],
"lib": ["es2019", "dom", "dom.iterable", "esnext"]
...
}
...
pathRequired
  • Type: string

patch
public patch(patches: JsonPatch): void

Applies an RFC 6902 JSON-patch to the synthesized object file. See https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6902 for more information.

For example, with the following object file

"compilerOptions": {
"exclude": ["node_modules"],
"lib": ["es2019"]
...
}
...
project.tsconfig.file.patch(JsonPatch.add("/compilerOptions/exclude/-", "coverage"));
project.tsconfig.file.patch(JsonPatch.replace("/compilerOptions/lib", ["dom", "dom.iterable", "esnext"]));

would result in the following object file

"compilerOptions": {
"exclude": ["node_modules", "coverage"],
"lib": ["dom", "dom.iterable", "esnext"]

NameDescription
isConstruct
Checks if x is a construct.
isComponent
Test whether the given construct is a component.

isConstruct
import { IniFile } from 'projen'

IniFile.isConstruct(x: any)

Checks if x is a construct.

Use this method instead of instanceof to properly detect Construct instances, even when the construct library is symlinked.

Explanation: in JavaScript, multiple copies of the constructs library on disk are seen as independent, completely different libraries. As a consequence, the class Construct in each copy of the constructs library is seen as a different class, and an instance of one class will not test as instanceof the other class. npm install will not create installations like this, but users may manually symlink construct libraries together or use a monorepo tool: in those cases, multiple copies of the constructs library can be accidentally installed, and instanceof will behave unpredictably. It is safest to avoid using instanceof, and using this type-testing method instead.

public addDeletionOverride(path: string): void

Syntactic sugar for addOverride(path, undefined).

pathRequired
  • Type: string

The path of the value to delete.


addOverride
public addOverride(path: string, value: any): void

Adds an override to the synthesized object file.

If the override is nested, separate each nested level using a dot (.) in the path parameter. If there is an array as part of the nesting, specify the index in the path.

To include a literal . in the property name, prefix with a \. In most programming languages you will need to write this as "\\." because the \ itself will need to be escaped.

For example,

project.tsconfig.file.addOverride('compilerOptions.alwaysStrict', true);
project.tsconfig.file.addOverride('compilerOptions.lib', ['dom', 'dom.iterable', 'esnext']);

would add the overrides

"compilerOptions": {
"alwaysStrict": true,
"lib": [
"dom",
"dom.iterable",
"esnext"
]
...
}
...
pathRequired
  • Type: string

The path of the property, you can use dot notation to override values in complex types.

Any intermediate keys will be created as needed.


valueRequired
  • Type: any

The value.

Could be primitive or complex.


addToArray
public addToArray(path: string, values: any): void

Adds to an array in the synthesized object file.

If the array is nested, separate each nested level using a dot (.) in the path parameter. If there is an array as part of the nesting, specify the index in the path.

To include a literal . in the property name, prefix with a \. In most programming languages you will need to write this as "\\." because the \ itself will need to be escaped.

For example, with the following object file

"compilerOptions": {
"exclude": ["node_modules"],
"lib": ["es2019"]
...
}
...
project.tsconfig.file.addToArray('compilerOptions.exclude', 'coverage');
project.tsconfig.file.addToArray('compilerOptions.lib', 'dom', 'dom.iterable', 'esnext');

would result in the following object file

"compilerOptions": {
"exclude": ["node_modules", "coverage"],
"lib": ["es2019", "dom", "dom.iterable", "esnext"]
...
}
...
pathRequired
  • Type: string

As a consequence, the class Construct in each copy of the constructs library is seen as a different class, and an instance of one class will not test as instanceof the other class. npm install will not create installations like this, but users may manually symlink construct libraries together or use a monorepo tool: in those cases, multiple copies of the constructs library can be accidentally installed, and instanceof will behave unpredictably. It is safest to avoid using instanceof, and using this type-testing method instead.

As a consequence, the class Construct in each copy of the constructs library is seen as a different class, and an instance of one class will not test as instanceof the other class. npm install will not create installations like this, but users may manually symlink construct libraries together or use a monorepo tool: in those cases, multiple copies of the constructs library can be accidentally installed, and instanceof will behave unpredictably. It is safest to avoid using instanceof, and using this type-testing method instead.

pathRequired
  • Type: string

addOverride
public addOverride(path: string, value: any): void

Adds an override to the synthesized object file.

If the override is nested, separate each nested level using a dot (.) in the path parameter. If there is an array as part of the nesting, specify the index in the path.

To include a literal . in the property name, prefix with a \. In most programming languages you will need to write this as "\\." because the \ itself will need to be escaped.

For example,

project.tsconfig.file.addOverride('compilerOptions.alwaysStrict', true);
project.tsconfig.file.addOverride('compilerOptions.lib', ['dom', 'dom.iterable', 'esnext']);

would add the overrides

"compilerOptions": {
"alwaysStrict": true,
"lib": [
"dom",
"dom.iterable",
"esnext"
]
...
}
...
pathRequired
  • Type: string

The path of the property, you can use dot notation to override values in complex types.

Any intermediate keys will be created as needed.


valueRequired
  • Type: any

The value.

Could be primitive or complex.


addToArray
public addToArray(path: string, values: any): void

Adds to an array in the synthesized object file.

If the array is nested, separate each nested level using a dot (.) in the path parameter. If there is an array as part of the nesting, specify the index in the path.

To include a literal . in the property name, prefix with a \. In most programming languages you will need to write this as "\\." because the \ itself will need to be escaped.

For example, with the following object file

"compilerOptions": {
"exclude": ["node_modules"],
"lib": ["es2019"]
...
}
...
project.tsconfig.file.addToArray('compilerOptions.exclude', 'coverage');
project.tsconfig.file.addToArray('compilerOptions.lib', 'dom', 'dom.iterable', 'esnext');

would result in the following object file

"compilerOptions": {
"exclude": ["node_modules", "coverage"],
"lib": ["es2019", "dom", "dom.iterable", "esnext"]
...
}
...
pathRequired
  • Type: string

Applies an RFC 6902 JSON-patch to the synthesized object file. See https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6902 for more information.

For example, with the following object file

"compilerOptions": {
"exclude": ["node_modules"],
"lib": ["es2019"]
...
}
...
project.tsconfig.file.patch(JsonPatch.add("/compilerOptions/exclude/-", "coverage"));
project.tsconfig.file.patch(JsonPatch.replace("/compilerOptions/lib", ["dom", "dom.iterable", "esnext"]));

would result in the following object file

Static Functions

NameDescription
isConstruct
Checks if x is a construct.
isComponent
Test whether the given construct is a component.

isConstruct
import { XmlFile } from 'projen'

XmlFile.isConstruct(x: any)

Checks if x is a construct.

Use this method instead of instanceof to properly detect Construct instances, even when the construct library is symlinked.

Explanation: in JavaScript, multiple copies of the constructs library on disk are seen as independent, completely different libraries. As a consequence, the class Construct in each copy of the constructs library is seen as a different class, and an instance of one class will not test as instanceof the other class. npm install will not create installations like this, but users may manually symlink construct libraries together or use a monorepo tool: in those cases, multiple copies of the constructs library can be accidentally installed, and instanceof will behave unpredictably. It is safest to avoid using instanceof, and using this type-testing method instead.

Adds an override to the synthesized object file.

If the override is nested, separate each nested level using a dot (.) in the path parameter. If there is an array as part of the nesting, specify the index in the path.

To include a literal . in the property name, prefix with a \. In most programming languages you will need to write this as "\\." because the \ itself will need to be escaped.

For example,

project.tsconfig.file.addOverride('compilerOptions.alwaysStrict', true);
project.tsconfig.file.addOverride('compilerOptions.lib', ['dom', 'dom.iterable', 'esnext']);

would add the overrides

"compilerOptions": {

...
}
...
project.tsconfig.file.addToArray('compilerOptions.exclude', 'coverage');

Projects

Programmatic API for projen.

Static Functions

NameDescription
createProject
Creates a new project with defaults.

createProject
import { Projects } from 'projen'

Projects.createProject(options: CreateProjectOptions)

Creates a new project with defaults.

This function creates the project type in-process (with in VM) and calls .synth() on it (if options.synth is not false).

At the moment, it also generates a .projenrc.js file with the same code that was just executed. In the future, this will also be done by the project type, so we can easily support multiple languages of projenrc.

An environment variable (PROJEN_CREATE_PROJECT=true) is set within the VM so that custom project types can detect whether the current synthesis is the result of a new project creation (and take additional steps accordingly)
