Represents a special or lazily-evaluated value. Can be used to delay evaluation of a certain value in case, for example, that it requires some context or late-bound data. Can also be used to mark values that need special processing at document rendering time. Tokens can be embedded into strings while retaining their original semantics.

asAny

import { Token } from 'cdktn'

Token.asAny(value: any)
Return a resolvable representation of the given value.

valueRequired

  • Type: any

asAnyMap

import { Token } from 'cdktn'

Token.asAnyMap(value: any, options?: EncodingOptions)
Return a reversible map representation of this token.

valueRequired

  • Type: any

optionsOptional


asBooleanMap

import { Token } from 'cdktn'

Token.asBooleanMap(value: any, options?: EncodingOptions)
Return a reversible map representation of this token.

asList

import { Token } from 'cdktn'

Token.asList(value: any, options?: EncodingOptions)
Return a reversible list representation of this token.

valueRequired

  • Type: any

asMap

import { Token } from 'cdktn'

Token.asMap(value: any, mapValue: any, options?: EncodingOptions)
Return a reversible map representation of this token.

  • Type: any

asNumber

import { Token } from 'cdktn'

Token.asNumber(value: any)
Return a reversible number representation of this token.

valueRequired

  • Type: any

asNumberList

import { Token } from 'cdktn'

Token.asNumberList(value: any)
Return a reversible list representation of this token.

valueRequired

  • Type: any

asNumberMap

import { Token } from 'cdktn'

Token.asNumberMap(value: any, options?: EncodingOptions)
Return a reversible map representation of this token.

valueRequired

  • Type: any

optionsOptional


asString

import { Token } from 'cdktn'

Token.asString(value: any, options?: EncodingOptions)
Return a reversible string representation of this token. If the Token is initialized with a literal, the stringified value of the literal is returned. Otherwise, a special quoted string representation of the Token is returned that can be embedded into other strings. Strings with quoted Tokens in them can be restored back into complex values with the Tokens restored by calling resolve() on the string.

valueRequired

  • Type: any

optionsOptional


asStringMap

import { Token } from 'cdktn'

Token.asStringMap(value: any, options?: EncodingOptions)
Return a reversible map representation of this token.

valueRequired

  • Type: any

optionsOptional


isUnresolved

import { Token } from 'cdktn'

Token.isUnresolved(obj: any)
Returns true if obj represents an unresolved value. One of these must be true:
  • obj is an IResolvable
  • obj is a string containing at least one encoded IResolvable
  • obj is either an encoded number or list
This does NOT recurse into lists or objects to see if they containing resolvables.

objRequired

  • Type: any
The object to test.

nullValue

import { Token } from 'cdktn'

Token.nullValue()
Return a Token containing a null value. Note: This is different than undefined, nil, None or similar as it will end up in the Terraform config and can be used to explicitly not set an attribute (which is sometimes required by Terraform providers)
