API Reference

Constructs

UserIdentity

Creates a UserPool and Identity Pool with sane defaults configured intended for usage from a web client.

Initializers 

import { UserIdentity } from '@aws/pdk/identity'

new UserIdentity(scope: Construct, id: string, props?: UserIdentityProps)
Name Type Description
scope constructs.Construct No description.
id string No description.
props UserIdentityProps No description.
scopeRequired
  • Type: constructs.Construct
idRequired
  • Type: string
propsOptional

Methods

Name Description
toString Returns a string representation of this construct.
toString 
public toString(): string

Returns a string representation of this construct.

Static Functions

Name Description
isConstruct Checks if x is a construct.
isConstruct 
import { UserIdentity } from '@aws/pdk/identity'

UserIdentity.isConstruct(x: any)

Checks if x is a construct.

Use this method instead of instanceof to properly detect Construct instances, even when the construct library is symlinked.

Explanation: in JavaScript, multiple copies of the constructs library on disk are seen as independent, completely different libraries. As a consequence, the class Construct in each copy of the constructs library is seen as a different class, and an instance of one class will not test as instanceof the other class. npm install will not create installations like this, but users may manually symlink construct libraries together or use a monorepo tool: in those cases, multiple copies of the constructs library can be accidentally installed, and instanceof will behave unpredictably. It is safest to avoid using instanceof, and using this type-testing method instead.

xRequired
  • Type: any

Any object.
