Add the package to your CDK project:
npm install @aligent/cdk-basic-auth

$3

``typescript
...
import { BasicAuthFunction, BasicAuthFunctionOptions } from 'your-package-name';
...

export class StaticHostingStack extends Stack {
constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props: StaticHostingProps) {
super(scope, id, props);
const basicAuthFunction = new BasicAuthFunction(this, 'MyBasicAuthFunction', { username: 'testuser', password: 'password' });
const defaultBehaviorEdgeLambdas: EdgeLambda[] = [];
defaultBehaviorEdgeLambdas.push(
{
eventType: LambdaEdgeEventType.ORIGIN_REQUEST,
functionVersion: basicAuthFunction.edgeFunction.currentVersion
}
);
}
...
`

This is a basic non-functional implementation. See StaticHosting/README.md to cover full usage.
