  • errorDocument: (string) Defaults to index.html.
  • forbiddenDocument: (string) Defaults to index.html.
• distribution: (Map)
  • dnsName: (string Required) A DNS name to use for this Cloudfront distribution. This is required and has no default values.
  • altDnsName: (string) Another DNS name to use for this Cloudfront distribution.

• securityHeadersConfig: (Map) If provided, security headers will be added via Cloudfront (AWS Security Headers Config Documentation). You may include the defaults shown below by providing an empty "Map" of the headers you would like to include. For instance, if you provide an empty Map of "contentSecurityPolicy" below, then this plugin will include the defaults shown for "contentSecurityPolicy.contentSecurityPolicy" and "contentSecurityPolicy.override". If you include only some of the options for a particular security header then the other options will be included with their defaults shown below automatically. For example, if you include "strictTransportSecurity" and you provide a value to "strictTransportSecurity.accessControlMaxAgeSec" but not the other options under "strictTransportSecurity" - the plugin will assume the defaults for the missing options (includeSubdomains, override and preload will be included for the Strict-Transport-Security header that's generated and all will be set with the defaults shown below).
