grunt-eb-deploy

A simple Grunt task to replace eb deploy from the Elastic Beanstalk CLI, which also allows deploying a custom application distribution instead of the entire repository root.

To use this task, you should install the AWS SDK CLI and configure your credentials first with aws configure.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.0

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-eb-deploy --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-eb-deploy');

The "ebDeploy" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named ebDeploy to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  ebDeploy: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific options go here.
    },
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    },
  },
});

File Lists

ebDeploy uses grunt-contrib-compress internally to generate a ZIP archive before uploading it to ElasticBeanstalk. For reference on how to specify file lists, please see the compress task documentation
