+# Custom Logical Names
+<!--BEGIN STABILITY BANNER-->

+
+> **This is a stable example. It should successfully build out of the box**
+>
+> This examples does is built on Construct Libraries marked "Stable" and does not have any infrastructure prerequisites to build.
+
+---
+<!--END STABILITY BANNER-->
+
+This sample shows how you can override the behavior for allocating
+logical names for CloudFormation resources in the CDK.
+
+It implements a feature that allows users to specify a prefix for
+all logical names using the `prefix` context key.
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Extend your stacks from `BaseStack` instead of from `Stack`.
+2. Specify context when calling the CLI through `--context prefix=PREFIX`.
+
+## Implementation
+
+The `BaseStack` class implements this custom behavior. Using a base stack is a a
+common and recommended pattern for reusing policy within an organization.
+
+Then, any stack that derives from `BaseStack` will automatically have this
+behavior.
+
+## Build
+
+To build this app, you need to be in this example's root folder. Then run the following:
+
+```bash
+npm install -g aws-cdk
+npm install
+npm run build
+```
+
+This will install the necessary CDK, then this example's dependencies, and then build your TypeScript files and your CloudFormation template.
+
+## Deploy
+
+Run `cdk deploy --context prefix=PREFIX`. This will deploy / redeploy your Stack to your AWS Account.
+
+## Example
+
+```shell
+$ cdk synth -j
+{
+  "Resources": {
+    "MyTopic86869434": {
+      "Type": "AWS::SNS::Topic"
+    },
+    "MyBucketF68F3FF0": {
+      "Type": "AWS::S3::Bucket"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Now with prefix:
+
+```shell
+$ cdk synth -j -c prefix="MyTeam"
+{
+  "Resources": {
+    "MyTeamMyTopic86869434": {
+      "Type": "AWS::SNS::Topic"
+    },
+    "MyTeamMyBucketF68F3FF0": {
+      "Type": "AWS::S3::Bucket"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
