I just started playing around with AWS CDK yesterday and I found something very weird.
First of all, I'm using TypeScript for my CDK app (I used cdk init --language typescript
to generate the project files and I tried to import aws-ec2 module so this is what I did:
import cdk = require('@aws-cdk/core');
import ec2 = require('@aws-cdk/aws-ec2');
export class vpcStack extends cdk.Stack {
constructor(scope: cdk.Construct, id: string, props?: cdk.StackProps) {
//.... all other codes go here....
However, when importing the aws-ec2 module this way, I got this error when trying to deploy the stack:
⨯ Unable to compile TypeScript:
lib/cdk-type_script-stack.ts:2:22 - error TS2307: Cannot find module '@aws-cdk/aws-ec2'.
2 import ec2 = require('@aws-cdk/aws-ec2');
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Subprocess exited with error 1
This is very weird because the API docs right here clearly stated that this is how I should import the aws-ec2 module in typescript
Am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated and also, thanks in advance! 😄
You need to install the node package before you could import and use it
Execute below on the command line to install npm package for aws-cdk
npm i @aws-cdk/aws-ec2
