ssm-aws-config v1.0.0

aws-ssm-config

a node.js library for building configuration objects fetching AWS SSM Parameter Store.

Features

• supports all ssm parameter types, including encrypted parameters with type SecureString
• supports custom validation/parsing allowing for defaults and type coercion
• supports composing complex configuration using multiple ssm parameters

Installing

# install via NPM
$ npm install --save aws-ssm-config

Getting Started

Define some parameters in SSM:

$ aws ssm put-parameter --type String --name /my-app/log/level --value debug
$ aws ssm put-parameter --type String --name /my-app/db --value {"user":"foo","port":3306}
$ aws ssm put-parameter --type SecureString --name /my-app/db/password --value s3cr3t
$ aws ssm put-parameter --type String --name /shared/number --value 11

Config object:

import AWS from 'aws-sdk';
import ssmConfig from 'aws-ssm-config';

const prefix = '/my-app';
const ssm = new AWS.SSM();

const config = await ssmConfig({ prefix, ssm });
console.log(config);
/*
{
  db: {
    user: "foo",
    password: "s3cr3t",
    port: 3306,
  },
  log: {
    level: "debug",
  }
}
*/

With custom validation logic:

import AWS from 'aws-sdk';
import { expect } from 'chai';
import loadConfig from 'aws-ssm-config';

const prefix = ['/my-app', '/shared'];
const ssm = new AWS.SSM();

function validate(c) {
    if (!Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(c, 'number')) {
        throw new Error('missing required property "number"');
    }
    c.number = parseInt(c.number, 10);
    if (isNaN(c.number) || c.number < 10) {
        throw new Error('"number" must be greater than or equal to 10');
    }
}

const config = await loadConfig({ prefix, ssm, validate });
console.log(config);
/*
{
  db: {
    user: "foo",
    password: "s3cr3t",
    port: 3306,
  },
  log: {
    level: "debug",
  },
  number: 11,
}
*/
