a
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:37 PMYes.
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:38 PMCheck the examples folder in SST repo.

Jonathan Chapman
10/08/2021, 5:40 PMI've been looking in it, but haven't found any
Jonathan Chapman
10/08/2021, 5:40 PMa
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:40 PMThere is a typescript example I think.
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:40 PMj
Jonathan Chapman
10/08/2021, 5:40 PMthat one only has one stack in it
a
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:40 PMWell yeah.
j
Jonathan Chapman
10/08/2021, 5:40 PMunless i'm missing something
a
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:41 PMBut it’s because @thdxr is lazy.
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:41 PMYou can add more.
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:41 PMWhat are you looking for?
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:41 PMI mean, is the exact same config, just add 1 file, haha.
t
thdxr
10/08/2021, 5:41 PMhaha yeah I was just clicking through them and idk if we have a multi stack example.
a
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:41 PMBut what’s the difference?
j
Jonathan Chapman
10/08/2021, 5:41 PMWell, I would like to move my databases to one stack and share to other stacks
a
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:41 PMI mean, just
touch stack2.tsAdrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:42 PMSo you are looking for dependent stacks.
j
Jonathan Chapman
10/08/2021, 5:42 PMyeah
a
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:42 PMThere is somebody in the chat who built an example for that.
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:42 PMAnd it’s what I’ve used.
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:42 PMLet me check if can find it quick.

10/08/2021, 5:43 PMAdrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:43 PMDid you check that?
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:44 PMThis uses dependent stacks.
j
Jonathan Chapman

a
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:44 PMj
Jonathan Chapman
10/08/2021, 5:44 PMok that is what I was thinking but Typescript does not like it
a
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:44 PMWhat you mean?
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:45 PMBecause is not
stack propsj
Jonathan Chapman
10/08/2021, 5:45 PMthe
sst.StackPropsa
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:45 PMYou have to extend it.
j
Jonathan Chapman
10/08/2021, 5:45 PMk
a
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:45 PMYou can’t use that, you have to extend.
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:45 PM Copy code
interface YabbleApiStackProps extends StackProps {Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:45 PMThis is what I do.
j
Jonathan Chapman
10/08/2021, 5:46 PMgotcha, makes sense
a
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:46 PMThen my constructor is:
Copy code
constructor(scope: App, id: string, props: YabbleApiStackProps) {Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:46 PM😉
t
thdxr
10/08/2021, 5:46 PMI actually stopped extending stack props for the 3rd argument
a
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:47 PM👀
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:47 PMWhat did you do?
t
thdxr
10/08/2021, 5:47 PMI don't actually use any fields in there usually so this is how I've been setting up my stacks
thdxr
10/08/2021, 5:48 PM Copy code
type Props = {
auth: Auth["outputs"]
}
constructor(scope: <http://sst.App|sst.App>, props: Props) {
super(scope, "backend")thdxr
10/08/2021, 5:48 PMthen it's just
thdxr
10/08/2021, 5:48 PM Copy code
new Backend(app, { auth: auth.outputs })a
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:48 PMAh.
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:48 PMYou sending all the outputs.
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:48 PMI prefer to make visible what is being shared.
t
thdxr
10/08/2021, 5:49 PMWell you can send specific ones too if you want
thdxr
10/08/2021, 5:49 PMI specifically only load whats exposed into Auth.outpus
a
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:49 PMIn that case I don’t see much difference.
t
thdxr
10/08/2021, 5:49 PMWell I'm not extending the StackProps because I don't need it. Saves a tiny bit
a
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:49 PMYeah makes sense.
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 5:50 PMWhat’s the purpose of…. ?
super(scope, “backend”)
t
thdxr
10/08/2021, 5:51 PMThe base stack we extend at minimum needs the scope + a name. I prefer hardcoding the name inside the stack instead of passing it in externally
j
Jonathan Chapman
10/08/2021, 5:58 PMthat helps alot @thdxr, like the setup that way

Hey @Jonathan Chapman, here are some sample code on sharing an Api across stacks. You can share a Table in similar manner https://docs.serverless-stack.com/constructs/Api#sharing-an-api-across-stacks
Frank
10/08/2021, 6:28 PM
Let me know if you manage to get it to work 😄
j
Jonathan Chapman
10/08/2021, 6:32 PMI got it working, but the problem with those examples is that it's not Typescript friendly

Frank

Does viewing the TypeScript version of the snippet help?
j
Jonathan Chapman
10/08/2021, 6:33 PMhaha
Jonathan Chapman
10/08/2021, 6:33 PMmissed that
a
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 6:34 PM@Jonathan Chapman you are using typescript, you can take advantage of it 🙂.
Adrián Mouly
10/08/2021, 6:34 PMIf StackProps doesn’t allow something, just extend or don’t use it.
j
Jonathan Chapman
10/08/2021, 6:35 PMyeah, i know, little tired today. It's not helping with trying to make decisions
