Accessors
env
Get Signature
get env():
ResourceEnvironment
The environment this resource belongs to.
For resources that are created and managed in a Stack (those created by
creating new class instances like new Role(), new Bucket(), etc.), this
is always the same as the environment of the stack they belong to.
For referenced resources (those obtained from referencing methods like
Role.fromRoleArn(), Bucket.fromBucketName(), etc.), they might be
different than the stack they were imported into.
Returns
ResourceEnvironment
The environment this resource belongs to.
For resources that are created and managed in a Stack (those created by
creating new class instances like new Role(), new Bucket(), etc.), this
is always the same as the environment of the stack they belong to.
For referenced resources (those obtained from referencing methods like
Role.fromRoleArn(), Bucket.fromBucketName(), etc.), they might be
different than the stack they were imported into.

Resource.env
physicalName
Get Signature
get
protectedphysicalName():string
Returns a string-encoded token that resolves to the physical name that should be passed to the CloudFormation resource.
This value will resolve to one of the following:
- a concrete value (e.g.
"my-awesome-bucket") undefined, when a name should be generated by CloudFormation- a concrete name generated automatically during synthesis, in cross-environment scenarios.
Returns
string
Inherited from
Resource.physicalName
stack
Get Signature
get stack():
Stack
The stack in which this resource is defined.
Returns
Stack
The stack in which this resource is defined.
Implementation of
Inherited from
Resource.stack
Methods
_enableCrossEnvironment()
_enableCrossEnvironment():
void
Internal
Called when this resource is referenced across environments (account/region) to order to request that a physical name will be generated for this resource during synthesis, so the resource can be referenced through its absolute name/arn.
Returns
void
Inherited from
Resource._enableCrossEnvironment
applyRemovalPolicy()
applyRemovalPolicy(
policy):void
Apply the given removal policy to this resource
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).
Parameters
policy
RemovalPolicy
Returns
void
Implementation of
Inherited from
Resource.applyRemovalPolicy
generatePhysicalName()
protectedgeneratePhysicalName():string
Returns
string
Inherited from
Resource.generatePhysicalName
getResourceArnAttribute()
protectedgetResourceArnAttribute(arnAttr,arnComponents):string
Returns an environment-sensitive token that should be used for the
resource's "ARN" attribute (e.g. bucket.bucketArn).
Normally, this token will resolve to arnAttr, but if the resource is
referenced across environments, arnComponents will be used to synthesize
a concrete ARN with the resource's physical name. Make sure to reference
this.physicalName in arnComponents.
Parameters
arnAttr
string
The CFN attribute which resolves to the ARN of the resource.
Commonly it will be called "Arn" (e.g. resource.attrArn), but sometimes
it's the CFN resource's ref.
arnComponents
ArnComponents
The format of the ARN of this resource. You must
reference this.physicalName somewhere within the ARN in order for
cross-environment references to work.
Returns
string
Inherited from
Resource.getResourceArnAttribute
getResourceNameAttribute()
protectedgetResourceNameAttribute(nameAttr):string
Returns an environment-sensitive token that should be used for the
resource's "name" attribute (e.g. bucket.bucketName).
Normally, this token will resolve to nameAttr, but if the resource is
referenced across environments, it will be resolved to this.physicalName,
which will be a concrete name.
Parameters
nameAttr
string
The CFN attribute which resolves to the resource's name.
Commonly this is the resource's ref.
Returns
string
Inherited from
Resource.getResourceNameAttribute
grant()
grant(
grantee, ...actions):Grant
Grant the given principal identity permissions to perform actions on this agent alias.
Parameters

Grant the given identity permissions to apply the guardrail.
Parameters

Implementation of

toString()

Inherited from
Resource.toString
with()
with(...
mixins):IConstruct
Applies one or more mixins to this construct.
Mixins are applied in order. The list of constructs is captured at the
start of the call, so constructs added by a mixin will not be visited.
Use multiple with() calls if subsequent mixins should apply to added
constructs.
Parameters
mixins
...IMixin[]
The mixins to apply
Returns
IConstruct
This construct for chaining
Implementation of
Inherited from
Resource.with
isConstruct()
staticisConstruct(x):x is Construct
Checks if x is a construct.
Use this method instead of instanceof to properly detect Construct
instances, even when the construct library is symlinked.
Explanation: in JavaScript, multiple copies of the constructs library on
disk are seen as independent, completely different libraries. As a
consequence, the class Construct in each copy of the constructs library
is seen as a different class, and an instance of one class will not test as
instanceof the other class. npm install will not create installations
like this, but users may manually symlink construct libraries together or
use a monorepo tool: in those cases, multiple copies of the constructs
library can be accidentally installed, and instanceof will behave
unpredictably. It is safest to avoid using instanceof, and using
this type-testing method instead.
Parameters
x
any
Any object
Returns
x is Construct
true if x is an object created from a class which extends Construct.
Inherited from
Resource.isConstruct
isOwnedResource()
staticisOwnedResource(construct):boolean

Parameters

IConstruct
Returns
