Using runtime-config.json with Amplify

[mmuller88]

The constructs here are pretty much mind-blowing. Thanks a lot! Are there references on how I can incorporate the runtime-config.json with Amplify React TS?

Hey Martin!

Thanks for the feedback! 😁

I think the best example we have is part of the awsui-react-ts-website project here: https://github.com/aws/aws-prototyping-sdk/blob/mainline/packages/awsui-react-ts-website/samples/src/Auth.tsx#L76-L97

The runtime-config.json file is written to the root of the static website's s3 bucket at deployment time, so the website can pull it down with fetch('/runtime-config.json') and plug the values into Amplify :)

Hope that helps!

Cheers,
Jack
