ContextProvider

class aws_cdk.core.ContextProvider

Bases: object

Base class for the model side of context providers.

Instances of this class communicate with context provider plugins in the ‘cdk toolkit’ via context variables (input), outputting specialized queries for more context variables (output).

ContextProvider needs access to a Construct to hook into the context mechanism.
