Getting started using the AWS CLI

Run the following steps to get started with CodeArtifact using the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). For more information, see Install or upgrade and then configure the AWS CLI. This guide uses the npm package manager, if you are using a different package manager, you will need to modify some of the following steps.

Use the AWS CLI to run the create-domain command.


aws codeartifact create-domain --domain my-domain

JSON-formatted data appears in the output with details about your new domain.


{
    "domain": {
        "name": "my-domain",
        "owner": "111122223333",
        "arn": "arn:aws:codeartifact:us-west-2:111122223333:domain/my-domain",
        "status": "Active",
        "createdTime": "2020-10-07T15:36:35.194000-04:00",
        "encryptionKey": "arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:111122223333:key/your-kms-key",
        "repositoryCount": 0,
        "assetSizeBytes": 0
    }
}

If you receive the error Could not connect to the endpoint URL, make sure that your AWS CLI is configured and that your Default region name is set to the same Region where you created your repository, see Configuring the AWS Command Line Interface.

Use the create-repository command to create a repository in your domain.


aws codeartifact create-repository --domain my-domain --domain-owner 111122223333 --repository my-repo

JSON-formatted data appears in the output with details about your new repository.


{
    "repository": {
        "name": "my-repo",
        "administratorAccount": "111122223333",
        "domainName": "my-domain",
        "domainOwner": "111122223333",
        "arn": "arn:aws:codeartifact:us-west-2:111122223333:repository/my-domain/my-repo",
        "upstreams": [],
        "externalConnections": []
    }
}

Use the create-repository command to create an upstream repository for your my-repo repository.


aws codeartifact create-repository --domain my-domain --domain-owner 111122223333 --repository npm-store

JSON-formatted data appears in the output with details about your new repository.


{
    "repository": {
        "name": "npm-store",
        "administratorAccount": "111122223333",
        "domainName": "my-domain",
        "domainOwner": "111122223333",
        "arn": "arn:aws:codeartifact:us-west-2:111122223333:repository/my-domain/npm-store",
        "upstreams": [],
        "externalConnections": []
    }
}

Use the associate-external-connection command to add an external connection to the npm public repository to your npm-store repository.


aws codeartifact associate-external-connection --domain my-domain --domain-owner 111122223333 --repository npm-store --external-connection "public:npmjs"

JSON-formatted data appears in the output with details about the repository and its new external connection.


{
    "repository": {
        "name": "npm-store",
        "administratorAccount": "111122223333",
        "domainName": "my-domain",
        "domainOwner": "111122223333",
        "arn": "arn:aws:codeartifact:us-west-2:111122223333:repository/my-domain/npm-store",
        "upstreams": [],
        "externalConnections": [
            {
                "externalConnectionName": "public:npmjs",
                "packageFormat": "npm",
                "status": "AVAILABLE"
            }
        ]
    }
}

For more information, see Connect a CodeArtifact repository to a public repository.

Use the update-repository command to associate the npm-store repository as an upstream repository to the my-repo repository.


aws codeartifact update-repository --repository my-repo --domain my-domain --domain-owner 111122223333 --upstreams repositoryName=npm-store

JSON-formatted data appears in the output with details about your updated repository, including its new upstream repository.


{
    "repository": {
        "name": "my-repo",
        "administratorAccount": "111122223333",
        "domainName": "my-domain",
        "domainOwner": "111122223333",
        "arn": "arn:aws:codeartifact:us-west-2:111122223333:repository/my-domain/my-repo",
        "upstreams": [
            {
                "repositoryName": "npm-store"
            }
        ],
        "externalConnections": []
    }
}

For more information, see Add or remove upstream repositories (AWS CLI).

Use the login command to configure your npm package manager with your my-repo repository.


aws codeartifact login --tool npm --repository my-repo --domain my-domain --domain-owner 111122223333

You should receive output confirming your login succeeded.


Successfully configured npm to use AWS CodeArtifact repository https://my-domain-111122223333.d.codeartifact.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/npm/my-repo/
Login expires in 12 hours at 2020-10-08 02:45:33-04:00

For more information, see Configure and use npm with CodeArtifact.

Use the npm CLI to install an npm package. For example, to install the popular npm package lodash, use the following command.
```
npm install lodash
```
Use the list-packages command to view the package you just installed in your my-repo repository.

Note
There may be a delay between when the npm install install command completes and when the package is visible in your repository. For details on typical latency when fetching packages from public repositories, see External connection latency.
```
aws codeartifact list-packages --domain my-domain --repository my-repo
```
JSON-formatted data appears in the output with the format and name of the package that you installed.
```
{
    "packages": [
        {
            "format": "npm",
            "package": "lodash"
        }
    ]
}
```
You now have three CodeArtifact resources:
- The domain my-domain.
- The repository my-repo that is contained in my-domain. This repository has an npm package available to it.
- The repository npm-store that is contained in my-domain. This repository has an external connection to the public npm repository and is associated as an upstream repository with the my-repo repository.

To avoid further AWS charges, delete the resources that you used during this tutorial:

Note

You cannot delete a domain that contains repositories, so you must delete my-repo and npm-store before you delete my-domain.

Use the delete-repository command to delete the npm-store repository.


aws codeartifact delete-repository --domain my-domain --domain-owner 111122223333 --repository my-repo

JSON-formatted data appears in the output with details about the deleted repository.


{
    "repository": {
        "name": "my-repo",
        "administratorAccount": "111122223333",
        "domainName": "my-domain",
        "domainOwner": "111122223333",
        "arn": "arn:aws:codeartifact:us-west-2:111122223333:repository/my-domain/my-repo",
        "upstreams": [
            {
                "repositoryName": "npm-store"
            }
        ],
        "externalConnections": []
    }
}

Use the delete-repository command to delete the npm-store repository.


aws codeartifact delete-repository --domain my-domain --domain-owner 111122223333 --repository npm-store

JSON-formatted data appears in the output with details about the deleted repository.


{
    "repository": {
        "name": "npm-store",
        "administratorAccount": "111122223333",
        "domainName": "my-domain",
        "domainOwner": "111122223333",
        "arn": "arn:aws:codeartifact:us-west-2:111122223333:repository/my-domain/npm-store",
        "upstreams": [],
        "externalConnections": [
            {
                "externalConnectionName": "public:npmjs",
                "packageFormat": "npm",
                "status": "AVAILABLE"
            }
        ]
    }
}

Use the delete-domain command to delete the my-domain repository.


aws codeartifact delete-domain --domain my-domain --domain-owner 111122223333

JSON-formatted data appears in the output with details about the deleted domain.


{
    "domain": {
        "name": "my-domain",
        "owner": "111122223333",
        "arn": "arn:aws:codeartifact:us-west-2:111122223333:domain/my-domain",
        "status": "Deleted",
        "createdTime": "2020-10-07T15:36:35.194000-04:00",
        "encryptionKey": "arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:111122223333:key/your-kms-key",
        "repositoryCount": 0,
        "assetSizeBytes": 0
    }
}
