config

Overview of the config module in the sst/node package.

import { ... } from "sst/node/config"

The config module has the following exports.

Properties​

The properties let you access the resources that are bound to the function.

Config​

This module helps with loading Secrets and Parameters created in your SST app.

import { Config } from "sst/node/config";

console.log(Config.STRIPE_KEY);

When you import sst/node/config, it does two things:

  • For Secrets, Config performs a top-level await to fetch and decrypt the secrets values from SSM ie. /sst/{appName}/{stageName}/Secret/STRIPE_KEY/value. Once fetched, you can reference Config.STRIPE_KEY directly in your code.
  • For Parameters, Config reads the parameter values from Lambda environment variables, ie. process.env.SST_Parameter_value_APP_VERSION and assigns to Config.APP_VERSION.
