cdk: Create a new CDK project in the current directory for a specified language.
$ cdk init -l ${language_name}
try on your machine

The command cdk init -l ${language_name} is used to initialize a new AWS CDK (Cloud Development Kit) project with a specific programming language.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • cdk: This is the command-line interface (CLI) tool for AWS CDK.
  • init: This is a subcommand used for initializing a new CDK project.
  • -l ${language_name}: This is an option that specifies the programming language for the CDK project. ${language_name} should be replaced with the desired language. For example, if you want to use TypeScript, you would use -l typescript. The supported languages include TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, and Java.

By running this command, a new CDK project will be created with the specified programming language. The necessary files and folders will be generated, including the initial CDK stack that you can start working on.
