go-runtimevar-string

Work in progress.

This is a thin wrapper around the gocloud.dev/runtimevar libraries to work with AWS Secrets Manager values.

It does not implement the runtimevar interface (there is no OpenString method, for example) and assumes strings, mostly because I couldn't make the JSON decoder stuff work (and haven't spent the time to figure it out) and because I haven't read up on how to implement custom decoders.

This package exists to hide the details from other code and may eventually be retired assuming solutions to the outstanding issues mentioned above. Or not. Maybe runtimevar.OpenString(ctx, *url) is the "good enough is perfect" solution. We'll see...

Example

package main

import (
	"context"
	"flag"
	"fmt"
	runtimevar "github.com/aaronland/gocloud-runtimevar-string"
	_ "gocloud.dev/runtimevar/blobvar"
	_ "gocloud.dev/runtimevar/constantvar"
	_ "gocloud.dev/runtimevar/filevar"
	"log"
)

func main() {

	url := flag.String("url", "", "...")

	flag.Parse()

	ctx := context.Background()

	s, err := runtimevar.OpenString(ctx, *url)

	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	fmt.Println(s)
}

For example:

$> go run cmd/runtimevar/main.go -url 'constant://?val=hello+world&decoder=string'
hello world

Or this, since decoder=string is assumed:

$> go run cmd/runtimevar/main.go -url 'constant://?val=hello+world'
hello world

Or this, which is not actually part of the gocloud.dev/runtimevar package:

$> go run cmd/runtimevar/main.go -url 'awssecretsmanager://orthis/{SECRET_ID}?region={AWS_REGION}&credentials={AWS_CREDENTIALS}'
SECRET_DATA...
