Other helpers

method description
build(file, opts) Builds a template defined by a static JavaScript export, a synchronous or an asynchronous function.
merge(...template) Merges templates together. Throws errors if logical names are reused. Transform macros from all template arguments are merged into a single array, in order of their appearance in the template arguments, and an error is thrown if any macro is repeated.

CLI tools

By installing cloudfriend globally, it can provide you with simple CLI tools for building and validating CloudFormation templates.

# either...
$ git clone https://github.com/mapbox/cloudfriend && cd cloudfriend && npm link
# ... or ...
$ npm install -g @mapbox/cloudfriend

Then, to build a template:

# Prints the template as JSON to stdout
$ build-template path/to/template.js
