Zip up directory before S3 bucket deployment

I have a typescript CDK package where I need to upload a directory to S3 - I'd like the directory to be zipped up by the CDK code - is there any way to specify the directory should be zipped in the BucketDeployment before uploading to S3?

    new s3Deploy.BucketDeployment(this, 'bucket-code-deployment', {
        sources: [s3Deploy.Source.asset('../infra/lambdas/lambda/directory')],
        destinationBucket: lambdaCodeBucket,
    });
Solution

  • Yes, you can zip a directory using the Asset class

    https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_s3_assets.Asset.html

    const bundle = new Asset(this, 'bundle', {
  path: 'src/resources/dockerExample',
});
