This AWS Solutions Construct implements an Amazon CloudFront distribution in front of an Amazon API Gateway REST API.

Here is a minimal deployable pattern definition in TypeScript:

import * as api from '@aws-cdk/aws-apigateway';
import * as lambda from "@aws-cdk/aws-lambda";
import { CloudFrontToApiGateway } from '@aws-solutions-constructs/aws-cloudfront-apigateway';
  
const lambdaProps: lambda.FunctionProps = {
    code: lambda.Code.fromAsset(`${__dirname}/lambda`),
    runtime: lambda.Runtime.NODEJS_12_X,
    handler: 'index.handler'
};

const lambdafunction = new lambda.Function(this, 'LambdaFunction', lambdaProps);

const apiGatewayProps: api.LambdaRestApiProps = {
        handler: lambdafunction,
        endpointConfiguration: {
            types: [api.EndpointType.REGIONAL]
        },
        defaultMethodOptions: {
            authorizationType: api.AuthorizationType.NONE
        }
};

const apiGateway = new api.LambdaRestApi(this, 'LambdaRestApi', apiGatewayProps);

new CloudFrontToApiGateway(this, 'test-cloudfront-apigateway', {
    existingApiGatewayObj: apiGateway
});

Initializer

new CloudFrontToApiGateway(scope: Construct, id: string, props: CloudFrontToApiGatewayProps);

Parameters

• scope Construct

• id string

• props CloudFrontToApiGatewayProps

Pattern Construct Props

Name	Type	Description
existingApiGatewayObj	api.RestApi	The regional API Gateway that will be fronted with the CloudFront
cloudFrontDistributionProps?	cloudfront.DistributionProps	Optional user provided props to override the default props for the CloudFront Distribution.
insertHttpSecurityHeaders?	boolean	Optional user provided props to turn on/off the automatic injection of best practice HTTP security headers in all responses from CloudFront

Pattern Properties

Name	Type	Description
apiGateway	api.RestApi	Returns an instance of the API Gateway REST API created by the pattern.
cloudFrontLoggingBucket?	s3.Bucket	Returns an instance of the logging bucket created by the pattern for the CloudFront web distribution.
cloudFrontWebDistribution	cloudfront.CloudFrontWebDistribution	Returns an instance of the CloudFront web distribution created by the pattern.
edgeLambdaFunctionVersion?	lambda.Version	Returns an instance of the Lambda edge function version created by the pattern.

Default settings

Out-of-the-box implementation of this pattern without any overrides will set the following defaults:

Amazon CloudFront

• Configure Access logging for CloudFront WebDistribution

• Enable automatic injection of best practice HTTP security headers in all responses from CloudFront WebDistribution

Amazon API Gateway

• User provided API Gateway object is used as-is

• Enable X-Ray tracing
