Hi I would need help with FakeKMS ... don't understand how to use it. The example in http4k-connect uses it along with another KMSEncrypt server ... don't understand why the two are needed ..

[Nicola]

my use case is: i only read from KMS, so I would like to put, in test, my test values into the fake...

[dave]

well what do you want to do>

[dave]

encrypt/decrypt or sign.verify?

[dave]

you don't want SecretsManager by any chance>?

[Nicola]

Well I thought kms and secretsmanager were the same thing .... ehm ..

[dave]

erm - no! 🙂

[dave]

KMS is for key management (the K and the M) 😂

[Nicola]

I see ... sorry!

[Nicola]

but is there a wrapper for secrets manager in http4k connect?

[dave]

certainly is!

[dave]

you can create/get etc..

[Nicola]

ehm .. is there an example ... somewhere ?

[dave]

`nst val USE_REAL_CLIENT = false

fun main() {
    // we can connect to the real service or the fake (drop in replacement)
    val http: HttpHandler = if (USE_REAL_CLIENT) JavaHttpClient() else FakeSecretsManager()

    // create a client
    val client =
        SecretsManager.Http(Region.of("us-east-1"), { AwsCredentials("accessKeyId", "secretKey") }, http.debug())

    val secretId = SecretId.of("a-secret-id")

    // all operations return a Result monad of the API type
    val createdSecretResult: Result<CreatedSecret, RemoteFailure> =
        client.createSecret(secretId.value, UUID.randomUUID(), "value")
    println(createdSecretResult.valueOrNull())

    // get the secret value back
    println(client.getSecretValue(secretId).valueOrNull())
}

[dave]

it's all in the README 🙂

[Nicola]

ah haven't read it

[Nicola]

thanks a lot
