Functions

def get_app_config(name: str, environment: str, application: Optional[str] = None, transform: Literal['json', 'binary', 'auto', None] = None, force_fetch: bool = False, max_age: Optional[int] = None, **sdk_options) ‑> Union[str, list, dict, bytes]

Retrieve a configuration value from AWS App Config.

Parameters

name : str
Name of the configuration
environment : str
Environment of the configuration
application : str
Application of the configuration
transform : str, optional
Transforms the content from a JSON object ('json') or base64 binary string ('binary')
force_fetch : bool, optional
Force update even before a cached item has expired, defaults to False
max_age : int, optional
Maximum age of the cached value
sdk_options : dict, optional
SDK options to propagate to start_configuration_session API call

Raises

GetParameterError
When the parameter provider fails to retrieve a parameter value for a given name.
TransformParameterError
When the parameter provider fails to transform a parameter value.

Example

Retrieves the latest version of configuration value from App Config

>>> from aws_lambda_powertools.utilities.parameters import get_app_config
>>>
>>> value = get_app_config("my_config", environment="my_env", application="my_env")
>>>
>>> print(value)
My configuration value

Retrieves a configuration value and decodes it using a JSON decoder

>>> from aws_lambda_powertools.utilities.parameters import get_app_config
>>>
>>> value = get_app_config("my_config", environment="my_env", application="my_env", transform='json')
>>>
>>> print(value)
My configuration's JSON value

Example

Retrieves the latest configuration value from App Config

>>> from aws_lambda_powertools.utilities import parameters
>>>
>>> appconf_provider = parameters.AppConfigProvider(environment="my_env", application="my_app")
>>>
>>> value : bytes = appconf_provider.get("my_conf")
>>>
>>> print(value)
My configuration value

Retrieves a configuration value from App Config in another AWS region

>>>
>>> config = Config(region_name="us-west-1")
>>> appconf_provider = parameters.AppConfigProvider(environment="my_env", application="my_app", config=config)
>>>
>>> value : bytes = appconf_provider.get("my_conf")
>>>
>>> print(value)
My configuration value
