Answer 1

I found the following solution

I add to beanstalk config next command:

commands:
  create_post_dir:
    command: "mkdir /opt/elasticbeanstalk/hooks/appdeploy/post"
    ignoreErrors: true
files:
  "/opt/elasticbeanstalk/hooks/appdeploy/post/some_job.sh":
    mode: "000755"
    owner: root
    group: root
    content: |
      #!/usr/bin/env bash
      cd /var/app/current
      export PATH=$PATH:$(ls -td /opt/elasticbeanstalk/node-install/node-* | head -1)/bin
      npm run some_script

This commands create(if not exist) folder for post-hooks scripts and adds bash script. Scripts in this folders execute only after npm install, this very important for my problem.

A better approach would be to go with the aws platform hooks. Where you can define the postdeploy hooks AWS Patform Hooks

In that inside the project root directory you can add .platform/hooks/postdeploy/

Insdie this path you can create xxx-postdeploy-script.sh. Files here run after the Elastic Beanstalk platform engine deploys the application and proxy server.This is the last deployment workflow step
