Cognito deployment with aws-cdk

The main purpose of this minor project is to get me a better understanding of aws-cdk, in the form of a Cognito User Pool deployment.

Requirements

• Having a user pool with an app client
• The "users" should be able to sign up by them
• The required user properties are [email, phone_number]
• The user email verification should be via a link
• The user pool should have a hosted UI

Description

./lib/cdk-101-stack.js file contains the deployment stack, it includes the following resources

• UserPool
• UserPoolDomain
• UserPoolClient

Notes

• The JavaScript/TypeScript '@aws-cdk/aws-cognito' library, OAuthSettings interface does not implement the LogoutURLs property atm.

Running the project

1. Clone the project
2. npm install
3. cdk deploy

if you want to checkout the CloudFormation representation, run cdk synth
