CfnParameter

class aws_cdk.core.CfnParameter(scope, id, *, allowed_pattern=None, allowed_values=None, constraint_description=None, default=None, description=None, max_length=None, max_value=None, min_length=None, min_value=None, no_echo=None, type=None)

Bases: CfnElement

A CloudFormation parameter.

Use the optional Parameters section to customize your templates. Parameters enable you to input custom values to your template each time you create or update a stack.

ExampleMetadata:: infused

Example:

my_topic = sns.Topic(self, "MyTopic")
url = CfnParameter(self, "url-param")

my_topic.add_subscription(subscriptions.UrlSubscription(url.value_as_string))

Creates a parameter construct.

Note that the name (logical ID) of the parameter will derive from it’s coname and location within the stack. Therefore, it is recommended that parameters are defined at the stack level.

Parameters:

scope (Construct) – The parent construct.
id (str) –
allowed_pattern (Optional[str]) – A regular expression that represents the patterns to allow for String types. Default: - No constraints on patterns allowed for parameter.
allowed_values (Optional[Sequence[str]]) – An array containing the list of values allowed for the parameter. Default: - No constraints on values allowed for parameter.
constraint_description (Optional[str]) – A string that explains a constraint when the constraint is violated. For example, without a constraint description, a parameter that has an allowed pattern of [A-Za-z0-9]+ displays the following error message when the user specifies an invalid value: Default: - No description with customized error message when user specifies invalid values.
default (Optional[Any]) – A value of the appropriate type for the template to use if no value is specified when a stack is created. If you define constraints for the parameter, you must specify a value that adheres to those constraints. Default: - No default value for parameter.
description (Optional[str]) – A string of up to 4000 characters that describes the parameter. Default: - No description for the parameter.
max_length (Union[int, float, None]) – An integer value that determines the largest number of characters you want to allow for String types. Default: - None.
max_value (Union[int, float, None]) – A numeric value that determines the largest numeric value you want to allow for Number types. Default: - None.
min_length (Union[int, float, None]) – An integer value that determines the smallest number of characters you want to allow for String types. Default: - None.
min_value (Union[int, float, None]) – A numeric value that determines the smallest numeric value you want to allow for Number types. Default: - None.
no_echo (Optional[bool]) – Whether to mask the parameter value when anyone makes a call that describes the stack. If you set the value to true, the parameter value is masked with asterisks (*****). Default: - Parameter values are not masked.
type (Optional[str]) – The data type for the parameter (DataType). Default: String

Methods

override_logical_id(new_logical_id)

Overrides the auto-generated logical ID with a specific ID.

Parameters:: new_logical_id (str) – The new logical ID to use for this stack element.
Return type:: None

resolve(_context)

Parameters:

_context (IResolveContext) –

Return type:

Any

to_string()

Returns a string representation of this construct.

Return type:: str

Attributes

allowed_pattern

A regular expression that represents the patterns to allow for String types.

Default:

No constraints on patterns allowed for parameter.

allowed_values

An array containing the list of values allowed for the parameter.

Default:

No constraints on values allowed for parameter.

constraint_description

A string that explains a constraint when the constraint is violated.

For example, without a constraint description, a parameter that has an allowed pattern of [A-Za-z0-9]+ displays the following error message when the user specifies an invalid value:

Default:

No description with customized error message when user specifies invalid values.

creation_stack

return:

the stack trace of the point where this Resource was created from, sourced from the +metadata+ entry typed +aws:cdk:logicalId+, and with the bottom-most node +internal+ entries filtered.

default

A value of the appropriate type for the template to use if no value is specified when a stack is created.

If you define constraints for the parameter, you must specify a value that adheres to those constraints.

Default:

No default value for parameter.

description

A string of up to 4000 characters that describes the parameter.

Default:

No description for the parameter.

logical_id

The logical ID for this CloudFormation stack element.

The logical ID of the element is calculated from the path of the resource node in the construct tree.

To override this value, use overrideLogicalId(newLogicalId).

Returns:

the logical ID as a stringified token. This value will only get resolved during synthesis.

max_length

An integer value that determines the largest number of characters you want to allow for String types.

Default:

None.

max_value

A numeric value that determines the largest numeric value you want to allow for Number types.

Default:

None.

min_length

An integer value that determines the smallest number of characters you want to allow for String types.

Default:

None.

min_value

A numeric value that determines the smallest numeric value you want to allow for Number types.

Default:

None.

no_echo: Indicates if this parameter is configured with “NoEcho” enabled.

node: The construct tree node associated with this construct.

stack

The stack in which this element is defined.

CfnElements must be defined within a stack scope (directly or indirectly).

type

The data type for the parameter (DataType).

Default:: String

value: The parameter value as a Token.

value_as_list: The parameter value, if it represents a string list.

value_as_number: The parameter value, if it represents a number.

value_as_string: The parameter value, if it represents a string.

Static Methods

classmethod is_cfn_element(x)

Returns true if a construct is a stack element (i.e. part of the synthesized cloudformation template).

Uses duck-typing instead of instanceof to allow stack elements from different versions of this library to be included in the same stack.

Parameters:

x (Any) –

Return type:

bool

Returns:

The construct as a stack element or undefined if it is not a stack element.

classmethod is_construct(x)

Return whether the given object is a Construct.

Parameters:

x (Any) –

Return type:

bool
