I want to make a shared library that I use across all pulumi projects. So I have a file like:

import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

export function newRdsCpu(...) {
  new aws.cloudwatch.MetricAlarm(...);
}

I am hoping to import it with something like

import * as alarms from "../../pulumi-shared/alarms";

but when I do, I get

Cannot find module '@pulumi/aws'

If I add a

package.json

to

pulumi-shared

with

@pulumi/aws

in it then it works… but I don’t really want that file as an independent library. It should use the

@pulumi/aws

of whatever library is calling it. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to proceed? I am searching lots of TypeScript on how to import files from outside the root dir, but so far not having any luck.

I believe this is called a peer dependency in TS.

Cool, I will look into that, thank you!
