declare const document: ssm.CfnDocument;

new appconfig.SourcedConfiguration(this, 'MySourcedConfiguration', {
  application,
  location: appconfig.ConfigurationSource.fromCfnDocument(document),
});

Initializer

new CfnDocument(scope: Construct, id: string, props: CfnDocumentProps)

Parameters

scope Construct — Scope in which this resource is defined.
id string — Construct identifier for this resource (unique in its scope).
props CfnDocumentProps — Resource properties.

content

Type: any

The content for the new SSM document in JSON or YAML.

For more information about the schemas for SSM document content, see SSM document schema features and examples in the AWS Systems Manager User Guide .

This parameter also supports String data types.

attachments?

Type: IResolvable | IResolvable | AttachmentsSourceProperty[] (optional)

A list of key-value pairs that describe attachments to a version of a document.

documentFormat?

Type: string (optional, default: "JSON")

Specify the document format for the request.

JSON is the default format.

documentType?

Type: string (optional)

The type of document to create.

name?

Type: string (optional)

A name for the SSM document.

You can't use the following strings as document name prefixes. These are reserved by AWS for use as document name prefixes:

aws

amazon

amzn

AWSEC2

AWSConfigRemediation

AWSSupport

requires?

Type: IResolvable | IResolvable | DocumentRequiresProperty[] (optional)

A list of SSM documents required by a document.

This parameter is used exclusively by AWS AppConfig . When a user creates an AWS AppConfig configuration in an SSM document, the user must also specify a required document for validation purposes. In this case, an ApplicationConfiguration document requires an ApplicationConfigurationSchema document for validation purposes. For more information, see What is AWS AppConfig ? in the AWS AppConfig User Guide .

tags?

Type: CfnTag[] (optional)

AWS CloudFormation resource tags to apply to the document.

Use tags to help you identify and categorize resources.

targetType?

Type: string (optional)

Specify a target type to define the kinds of resources the document can run on.

For example, to run a document on EC2 instances, specify the following value: /AWS::EC2::Instance . If you specify a value of '/' the document can run on all types of resources. If you don't specify a value, the document can't run on any resources. For a list of valid resource types, see AWS resource and property types reference in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide .

updateMethod?

Type: string (optional, default: "Replace")

If the document resource you specify in your template already exists, this parameter determines whether a new version of the existing document is created, or the existing document is replaced.

Replace is the default method. If you specify NewVersion for the UpdateMethod parameter, and the Name of the document does not match an existing resource, a new document is created. When you specify NewVersion , the default version of the document is changed to the newly created version.

versionName?

Type: string (optional)

An optional field specifying the version of the artifact you are creating with the document.

For example, Release12.1 . This value is unique across all versions of a document, and can't be changed.

addDeletionOverride(path)

public addDeletionOverride(path: string): void

Parameters

path string — The path of the value to delete.

Syntactic sugar for addOverride(path, undefined).

addDependency(target)

public addDependency(target: CfnResource): void

Parameters

target CfnResource

Indicates that this resource depends on another resource and cannot be provisioned unless the other resource has been successfully provisioned.

This can be used for resources across stacks (or nested stack) boundaries and the dependency will automatically be transferred to the relevant scope.

addDependsOn(target)⚠️

public addDependsOn(target: CfnResource): void

⚠️ Deprecated: use addDependency

Parameters

target CfnResource

Indicates that this resource depends on another resource and cannot be provisioned unless the other resource has been successfully provisioned.

addMetadata(key, value)

public addMetadata(key: string, value: any): void

Parameters

key string
value any

Add a value to the CloudFormation Resource Metadata.

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/metadata-section-structure.html

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.)

addOverride(path, value)

public addOverride(path: string, value: any): void

Parameters

path string — - The path of the property, you can use dot notation to override values in complex types.
value any — - The value.

Adds an override to the synthesized CloudFormation resource.

To add a property override, either use addPropertyOverride or prefix path with "Properties." (i.e. Properties.TopicName).

If the override is nested, separate each nested level using a dot (.) in the path parameter. If there is an array as part of the nesting, specify the index in the path.

To include a literal . in the property name, prefix with a \. In most programming languages you will need to write this as "\\." because the \ itself will need to be escaped.

For example,

cfnResource.addOverride('Properties.GlobalSecondaryIndexes.0.Projection.NonKeyAttributes', ['myattribute']);
cfnResource.addOverride('Properties.GlobalSecondaryIndexes.1.ProjectionType', 'INCLUDE');

would add the overrides

"Properties": {
  "GlobalSecondaryIndexes": [
    {
      "Projection": {
        "NonKeyAttributes": [ "myattribute" ]
        ...
      }
      ...
    },
    {
      "ProjectionType": "INCLUDE"
      ...
    },
  ]
  ...
}

The value argument to addOverride will not be processed or translated in any way. Pass raw JSON values in here with the correct capitalization for CloudFormation. If you pass CDK classes or structs, they will be rendered with lowercased key names, and CloudFormation will reject the template.

addPropertyDeletionOverride(propertyPath)

public addPropertyDeletionOverride(propertyPath: string): void

Parameters

propertyPath string — The path to the property.

Adds an override that deletes the value of a property from the resource definition.

addPropertyOverride(propertyPath, value)

public addPropertyOverride(propertyPath: string, value: any): void

Parameters

propertyPath string — The path of the property.
value any — The value.

Adds an override to a resource property.

Syntactic sugar for addOverride("Properties.<...>", value).

applyRemovalPolicy(policy?, options?)

public applyRemovalPolicy(policy?: RemovalPolicy, options?: RemovalPolicyOptions): void

Parameters

policy RemovalPolicy
options RemovalPolicyOptions

Sets the deletion policy of the resource based on the removal policy specified.

The Removal Policy controls what happens to this resource when it stops being managed by CloudFormation, either because you've removed it from the CDK application or because you've made a change that requires the resource to be replaced.

The resource can be deleted (RemovalPolicy.DESTROY), or left in your AWS account for data recovery and cleanup later (RemovalPolicy.RETAIN). In some cases, a snapshot can be taken of the resource prior to deletion (RemovalPolicy.SNAPSHOT). A list of resources that support this policy can be found in the following link:

getAtt(attributeName, typeHint?)

public getAtt(attributeName: string, typeHint?: ResolutionTypeHint): Reference

Parameters

attributeName string — The name of the attribute.
typeHint ResolutionTypeHint

Returns

Reference

Returns a token for an runtime attribute of this resource.

Ideally, use generated attribute accessors (e.g. resource.arn), but this can be used for future compatibility in case there is no generated attribute.

getMetadata(key)

public getMetadata(key: string): any

Parameters

key string

Returns

any

Retrieve a value value from the CloudFormation Resource Metadata.

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.)

inspect(inspector)

public inspect(inspector: TreeInspector): void

Parameters

inspector TreeInspector — tree inspector to collect and process attributes.

Examines the CloudFormation resource and discloses attributes.

obtainDependencies()

public obtainDependencies(): Stack &#124; CfnResource[]

Returns

Stack | CfnResource[]

Retrieves an array of resources this resource depends on.

This assembles dependencies on resources across stacks (including nested stacks) automatically.

obtainResourceDependencies()

public obtainResourceDependencies(): CfnResource[]

Returns

CfnResource[]

Get a shallow copy of dependencies between this resource and other resources in the same stack.

overrideLogicalId(newLogicalId)

public overrideLogicalId(newLogicalId: string): void

Parameters

newLogicalId string — The new logical ID to use for this stack element.

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

removeDependency(target)

public removeDependency(target: CfnResource): void

Parameters

target CfnResource

Indicates that this resource no longer depends on another resource.

This can be used for resources across stacks (including nested stacks) and the dependency will automatically be removed from the relevant scope.

replaceDependency(target, newTarget)

public replaceDependency(target: CfnResource, newTarget: CfnResource): void

Parameters

target CfnResource — The dependency to replace.
newTarget CfnResource — The new dependency to add.

Replaces one dependency with another.

toString()

public toString(): string

Returns

string

Returns a string representation of this construct.

protected renderProperties(props)
