classmethod condition_if(condition_id, value_if_true, value_if_false)

Returns one value if the specified condition evaluates to true and another value if the specified condition evaluates to false.

Currently, AWS CloudFormation supports the Fn::If intrinsic function in the metadata attribute, update policy attribute, and property values in the Resources section and Outputs sections of a template. You can use the AWS::NoValue pseudo parameter as a return value to remove the corresponding property.

classmethod get_azs(region=None)

The intrinsic function Fn::GetAZs returns an array that lists Availability Zones for a specified region.

Because customers have access to different Availability Zones, the intrinsic function Fn::GetAZs enables template authors to write templates that adapt to the calling user’s access. That way you don’t have to hard-code a full list of Availability Zones for a specified region.

Parameters:

region (Optional[str]) – The name of the region for which you want to get the Availability Zones. You can use the AWS::Region pseudo parameter to specify the region in which the stack is created. Specifying an empty string is equivalent to specifying AWS::Region.

Return type:

List[str]

Returns:

a token represented as a string array

classmethod import_list_value(shared_value_to_import, assumed_length, delimiter=None)

Like Fn.importValue, but import a list with a known length.

If you explicitly want a list with an unknown length, call Fn.split(',', Fn.importValue(exportName)). See the documentation of Fn.split to read more about the limitations of using lists of unknown length.

Fn.importListValue(exportName, assumedLength) is the same as Fn.split(',', Fn.importValue(exportName), assumedLength), but easier to read and impossible to forget to pass assumedLength.

Parameters:

  • shared_value_to_import (str) –

  • assumed_length (Union[int, float]) –

  • delimiter (Optional[str]) –

Return type:

List[str]

classmethod import_value(shared_value_to_import)

The intrinsic function Fn::ImportValue returns the value of an output exported by another stack.

You typically use this function to create cross-stack references. In the following example template snippets, Stack A exports VPC security group values and Stack B imports them.

Parameters:

shared_value_to_import (str) – The stack output value that you want to import.

Return type:

str

Returns:

a token represented as a string

classmethod join(delimiter, list_of_values)

The intrinsic function Fn::Join appends a set of values into a single value, separated by the specified delimiter.

If a delimiter is the empty string, the set of values are concatenated with no delimiter.

Parameters:

  • delimiter (str) – The value you want to occur between fragments. The delimiter will occur between fragments only. It will not terminate the final value.

  • list_of_values (Sequence[str]) – The list of values you want combined.

Return type:

str

Returns:

a token represented as a string

classmethod len(array)

The intrinsic function Fn::Length returns the number of elements within an array or an intrinsic function that returns an array.

Parameters:

array (Any) – The array you want to return the number of elements from.

Return type:

Union[int, float]

classmethod parse_domain_name(url)

Given an url, parse the domain name.

Parameters:

url (str) – the url to parse.

Return type:

str

classmethod ref(logical_name)

The Ref intrinsic function returns the value of the specified parameter or resource.

Note that it doesn’t validate the logicalName, it mainly serves parameter/resource reference defined in a CfnInclude template.

Parameters:

logical_name (str) – The logical name of a parameter/resource for which you want to retrieve its value.

Return type:

str

classmethod ref_all(parameter_type)

Returns all values for a specified parameter type.

Parameters:

parameter_type (str) – An AWS-specific parameter type, such as AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup::Id or AWS::EC2::VPC::Id. For more information, see Parameters in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.

Return type:

List[str]

Returns:

a token represented as a string array

classmethod select(index, array)

The intrinsic function Fn::Select returns a single object from a list of objects by index.

Parameters:

  • index (Union[int, float]) – The index of the object to retrieve. This must be a value from zero to N-1, where N represents the number of elements in the array.

  • array (Sequence[str]) – The list of objects to select from. This list must not be null, nor can it have null entries.

Return type:

str

Returns:

a token represented as a string

classmethod split(delimiter, source, assumed_length=None)

Split a string token into a token list of string values.

Specify the location of splits with a delimiter such as ‘,’ (a comma). Renders to the Fn::Split intrinsic function.

Lists with unknown lengths (default)

Since this function is used to work with deploy-time values, if assumedLength is not given the CDK cannot know the length of the resulting list at synthesis time. This brings the following restrictions:

  • You must use Fn.select(i, list) to pick elements out of the list (you must not use list[i]).

  • You cannot add elements to the list, remove elements from the list, combine two such lists together, or take a slice of the list.

  • You cannot pass the list to constructs that do any of the above.

The only valid operation with such a tokenized list is to pass it unmodified to a CloudFormation Resource construct.

Lists with assumed lengths

Pass assumedLength if you know the length of the list that will be produced by splitting. The actual list length at deploy time may be longer than the number you pass, but not shorter.

The returned list will look like:

[Fn.select(0, split), Fn.select(1, split), Fn.select(2, split), ...]

The restrictions from the section “Lists with unknown lengths” will now be lifted, at the expense of having to know and fix the length of the list.

Parameters:

  • delimiter (str) – A string value that determines where the source string is divided.

  • source (str) – The string value that you want to split.

  • assumed_length (Union[int, float, None]) – The length of the list that will be produced by splitting.

Return type:

List[str]

Returns:

a token represented as a string array

classmethod sub(body, variables=None)

The intrinsic function Fn::Sub substitutes variables in an input string with values that you specify.

In your templates, you can use this function to construct commands or outputs that include values that aren’t available until you create or update a stack.

Parameters:

  • body (str) – A string with variables that AWS CloudFormation substitutes with their associated values at runtime. Write variables as ${MyVarName}. Variables can be template parameter names, resource logical IDs, resource attributes, or a variable in a key-value map. If you specify only template parameter names, resource logical IDs, and resource attributes, don’t specify a key-value map.

  • variables (Optional[Mapping[str, str]]) – The name of a variable that you included in the String parameter. The value that AWS CloudFormation substitutes for the associated variable name at runtime.

Return type:

str

Returns:

a token represented as a string

classmethod to_json_string(object)

The Fn::ToJsonString intrinsic function converts an object or array to its corresponding JSON string.

Parameters:

object (Any) – The object or array to stringify.

Return type:

str

classmethod transform(macro_name, parameters)

Creates a token representing the Fn::Transform expression.
