This module is part of the [AWS Cloud Development Kit](https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk) project.

#### AWS Custom Resource

Sometimes a single API call can fill the gap in the CloudFormation coverage. In
this case you can use the `AwsCustomResource` construct. This construct creates
a custom resource that can be customized to make specific API calls for the
`CREATE`, `UPDATE` and `DELETE` events. Additionally, data returned by the API
call can be extracted and used in other constructs/resources (creating a real
CloudFormation dependency using `Fn::GetAtt` under the hood).

The physical id of the custom resource can be specified or derived from the data
returned by the API call.

The `AwsCustomResource` uses the AWS SDK for JavaScript. Services, actions and
parameters can be found in the [API documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/index.html).

Path to data must be specified using a dot notation, e.g. to get the string value
of the `Title` attribute for the first item returned by `dynamodb.query` it should
be `Items.0.Title.S`.

##### Examples

Verify a domain with SES:

```python
# Example may have issues. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
verify_domain_identity = AwsCustomResource(self, "VerifyDomainIdentity",
    on_create={
        "service": "SES",
        "action": "verifyDomainIdentity",
        "parameters": {
            "Domain": "example.com"
        },
        "physical_resource_id_path": "VerificationToken"
    }
)

route53.TxtRecord(zone, "SESVerificationRecord",
    record_name="_amazonses.example.com",
    record_value=verify_domain_identity.get_data("VerificationToken")
)
```

Get the latest version of a secure SSM parameter:

```python
# Example may have issues. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
get_parameter = AwsCustomResource(self, "GetParameter",
    on_update={# will also be called for a CREATE event
        "service": "SSM",
        "action": "getParameter",
        "parameters": {
            "Name": "my-parameter",
            "WithDecryption": True
        },
        "physical_resource_id": Date.now().to_string()}
)

# Use the value in another construct with
get_parameter.get_data("Parameter.Value")
```

IAM policy statements required to make the API calls are derived from the calls
and allow by default the actions to be made on all resources (`*`). You can
restrict the permissions by specifying your own list of statements with the
`policyStatements` prop.

Chained API calls can be achieved by creating dependencies:

```python
# Example may have issues. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
aws_custom1 = AwsCustomResource(self, "API1",
    on_create={
        "service": "...",
        "action": "...",
        "physical_resource_id": "..."
    }
)

aws_custom2 = AwsCustomResource(self, "API2",
    on_create={
        "service": "...",
        "action": "...",
        "parameters": {
            "text": aws_custom1.get_data("Items.0.text")
        },
        "physical_resource_id": "..."
    }
)
```
