package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws"
	"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws/session"
	"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/service/ssm"
)

func main() {
	sess, err := session.NewSessionWithOptions(session.Options{
		Config:            aws.Config{Region: aws.String("us-east-1")},
		SharedConfigState: session.SharedConfigEnable,
	})
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	ssmsvc := ssm.New(sess, aws.NewConfig().WithRegion("us-west-2"))
	param, err := ssmsvc.GetParameter(&ssm.GetParameterInput{
		Name:           aws.String("/MyService/MyApp/Dev/DATABASE_URI"),
		WithDecryption: aws.Bool(false),
	})
	if err != nil {

	value := *param.Parameter.Value
	fmt.Println(value)
}

Mee too liked it... Thanks much...

Watch out to check for errors returned at line 23 :)

Is there a way to load a json file as a parameter ?

@yuvrajsingh79 AWS SDK returns parameter as a string, you can then json unmarshal that string into a struct.

@Pitasi thanks, you mean to say that we can store in a json file as a parameter and then fetch it -> unmarshal that string ?

thank you for share this example!

Thank you for sharing this code!

@yuvrajsingh79 I dont think this is intended to work with files on the disk, but you can certainly store json file contents in parameter store and then fetch that.

Thank you for sharing this code example!

Thank you for sharing this mate
