aws-secrets

Retrieve AWS secrets and interact with Secrets Manager and SSM Parameter Store.

This crate works with Cargo with a Cargo.toml like:

[dependencies]
aws-secrets = { version = "0.1.1", features = ["all"] }
serde_json = "1"  # optional
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }

Getting started

Add some usage to your application. Here's an example of using aws-secrets in code.

Note: this sample requires the all feature to be enabled.

use aws_secrets::{config_from_env, SSMParamExt, SecretsExt};
use serde_json::{to_string, Value};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let shared_config = config_from_env().await;

    // Retrieve a secret from AWS Secrets Manager
    let secret_name = "my-secret";
    let value: Value = secret_name.get_secret(&shared_config).await?;
    let secret_string = to_string(&value)?;
    println!("[{secret_name}] Retrieved secret. value={secret_string}");

    // Retrieve a parameter from AWS SSM Parameter Store
    let param_name = "/my/secure/param";
    let value = param_name.get_secure_string(&shared_config).await?;
    println!("[{param_name}] Retrieved parameter. value={value:?}");

    Ok(())
}

Dependencies and Features

Note: Any desired features must be enabled individually, as no features are enabled by default.

Available features

all - Enables support for AWS Secrets Manager and SSM Parameter Store.
params - Enables support for AWS SSM Parameter Store.
sm - Enables support for AWS Secrets Manager.

Enabling Features

Update the project's Cargo.toml to include any optional features to enable:

[dependencies]
aws-secrets = { version = "*", features = ["all"] }
