A DNS TXT record.

Example ​

ts
declare const myZone: route53.HostedZone;

new route53.TxtRecord(this, 'TXTRecord', {
  zone: myZone,
  recordName: '_foo',  // If the name ends with a ".", it will be used as-is;
                       // if it ends with a "." followed by the zone name, a trailing "." will be added automatically;
                       // otherwise, a ".", the zone name, and a trailing "." will be added automatically.
                       // Defaults to zone root if not specified.
  values: [            // Will be quoted for you, and " will be escaped automatically.

Construct Props ​

cidrRoutingConfigCidrRoutingConfigcidr_routing_configCidrRoutingConfigcidrRoutingConfigCidrRoutingConfigCidrRoutingConfigCidrRoutingConfigCidrRoutingConfigCidrRoutingConfig= No CIDR routing configured#
The object that is specified in resource record set object when you are linking a resource record set to a CIDR location.

A LocationName with an asterisk “*” can be used to create a default CIDR record. CollectionId is still required for default record.

commentstringcommentstrcommentStringCommentstringComment*string= no comment#
A comment to add on the record.
deleteExistingbooleandelete_existingbooldeleteExistingBooleanDeleteExistingboolDeleteExisting*bool= falsedeprecated#
This property is dangerous and can lead to unintended record deletion in case of deployment failure.
notes

This allows you to deploy a new record set while minimizing the downtime because the new record set will be created immediately after the existing one is deleted. It also avoids "manual" actions to delete existing record sets.

N.B.: this feature is dangerous, use with caution! It can only be used safely when deleteExisting is set to true as soon as the resource is added to the stack. Changing an existing Record Set's deleteExisting property from false -> true after deployment will delete the record!

failoverFailoverfailoverFailoverfailoverFailoverFailoverFailoverFailoverFailover= No failover configuration#
Failover configuration for the record set.
notes

To configure failover, you add the Failover element to two resource record sets. For one resource record set, you specify PRIMARY as the value for Failover; for the other resource record set, you specify SECONDARY.

You must also include the HealthCheckId element for PRIMARY configurations.

geoLocationGeoLocationgeo_locationGeoLocationgeoLocationGeoLocationGeoLocationGeoLocationGeoLocationGeoLocation#
The geographical origin for this record to return DNS records based on the user's location.
healthCheckIHealthCheckhealth_checkIHealthCheckhealthCheckIHealthCheckHealthCheckIHealthCheckHealthCheckIHealthCheck= No health check configured#
The health check to associate with the record set.

Route53 will return this record set in response to DNS queries only if the health check is passing.

multiValueAnswerbooleanmulti_value_answerboolmultiValueAnswerBooleanMultiValueAnswerboolMultiValueAnswer*bool= false#
Whether to return multiple values, such as IP addresses for your web servers, in response to DNS queries.
recordNamestringrecord_namestrrecordNameStringRecordNamestringRecordName*string= zone root#
The subdomain name for this record. This should be relative to the zone root name.

For example, if you want to create a record for acme.example.com, specify "acme".

You can also specify the fully qualified domain name which terminates with a ".". For example, "acme.example.com.".

regionstringregionstrregionStringRegionstringRegion*string= Do not set latency based routing#
The Amazon EC2 Region where you created the resource that this resource record set refers to.
notes

The resource typically is an AWS resource, such as an EC2 instance or an ELB load balancer, and is referred to by an IP address or a DNS domain name, depending on the record type.

When Amazon Route 53 receives a DNS query for a domain name and type for which you have created latency resource record sets, Route 53 selects the latency resource record set that has the lowest latency between the end user and the associated Amazon EC2 Region. Route 53 then returns the value that is associated with the selected resource record set.

setIdentifierstringset_identifierstrsetIdentifierStringSetIdentifierstringSetIdentifier*string= Auto generated string#
A string used to distinguish between different records with the same combination of DNS name and type.

It can only be set when either weight or geoLocation is defined.

This parameter must be between 1 and 128 characters in length.

ttlDurationttlDurationttlDurationTtlDurationTtlDuration= Duration.minutes(30)#
The resource record cache time to live (TTL).
valuesstring[]valuestyping.List[str]valuesList<String>Valuesstring[]Values*[]*stringrequired#
The text values.
weightnumberweightint | floatweightNumberWeightdoubleWeight*float64= Do not set weighted routing#
Among resource record sets that have the same combination of DNS name and type, a value that determines the proportion of DNS queries that Amazon Route 53 responds to using the current resource record set.
notes

Route 53 calculates the sum of the weights for the resource record sets that have the same combination of DNS name and type. Route 53 then responds to queries based on the ratio of a resource's weight to the total.

This value can be a number between 0 and 255.

The hosted zone in which to define the new record.

Properties ​

domainNamestringdomain_namestrdomainNameStringDomainNamestringDomainName*stringrequired#
The domain name of the record.
The environment this resource belongs to.
notes

For resources that are created and managed in a Stack (those created by creating new class instances like new Role(), new Bucket(), etc.), this is always the same as the environment of the stack they belong to.

For referenced resources (those obtained from referencing methods like Role.fromRoleArn(), Bucket.fromBucketName(), etc.), they might be different than the stack they were imported into.

nodeNodenodeNodenodeNodeNodeNodeNodeNoderequired#
The tree node.
PROPERTY_INJECTION_IDstringproperty_injection_idstrPROPERTY_INJECTION_IDStringPROPERTY_INJECTION_IDstringPROPERTY_INJECTION_ID*stringrequiredstatic#

Methods ​

applyCrossStackReferenceStrength(strength: ReferenceStrength): voiddef apply_cross_stack_reference_strength(self, strength: ReferenceStrength) -> Nonepublic void applyCrossStackReferenceStrength(ReferenceStrength strength)public void ApplyCrossStackReferenceStrength(ReferenceStrength strength)func ApplyCrossStackReferenceStrength(Strength ReferenceStrength)#
Override the cross-stack reference strength for this resource.
notes · 1 parameter

When set, any cross-stack reference to this resource will use the specified mechanism instead of the global default determined by the @aws-cdk/core:defaultCrossStackReferences context key. This is useful for selectively weakening specific references to avoid the "deadly embrace" problem without changing the app-wide default.

Parameters

  • strengthstrengthstrengthstrengthStrength — - The reference strength to use for this resource.
applyRemovalPolicy(policy: RemovalPolicy): voiddef apply_removal_policy(self, policy: RemovalPolicy) -> Nonepublic void applyRemovalPolicy(RemovalPolicy policy)public void ApplyRemovalPolicy(RemovalPolicy policy)func ApplyRemovalPolicy(Policy RemovalPolicy)#
Apply the given removal policy to this resource.
notes

The Removal Policy controls what happens to this resource when it stops being managed by CloudFormation, either because you've removed it from the CDK application or because you've made a change that requires the resource to be replaced.

The resource can be deleted (RemovalPolicy.DESTROY), or left in your AWS account for data recovery and cleanup later (RemovalPolicy.RETAIN).

isConstruct(x: any): boolean@staticmethod def is_construct(x: Any) -> boolpublic static Boolean isConstruct(Object x)public static bool IsConstruct(object x)func IsConstruct(X interface{}) *boolstatic#
Checks if `x` is a construct.
notes · 1 parameter · returns

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.

Parameters

  • xxxxX — Any object.

Returns: true if x is an object created from a class which extends Construct.

isOwnedResource(construct: IConstruct): boolean@staticmethod def is_owned_resource(construct: IConstruct) -> boolpublic static Boolean isOwnedResource(IConstruct construct)public static bool IsOwnedResource(IConstruct construct)func IsOwnedResource(Construct IConstruct) *boolstatic#
Returns true if the construct was created by CDK, and false otherwise.
isResource(construct: IConstruct): boolean@staticmethod def is_resource(construct: IConstruct) -> boolpublic static Boolean isResource(IConstruct construct)public static bool IsResource(IConstruct construct)func IsResource(Construct IConstruct) *boolstatic#
Check whether the given construct is a Resource.
toString(): stringdef to_string(self, ) -> strpublic String toString()public string ToString()func ToString() *string#
Returns a string representation of this construct.
with(...mixins: IMixin[]): IConstructdef with(self, mixins: IMixin) -> IConstructpublic IConstruct with(IMixin mixins)public IConstruct With(IMixin mixins)func With(Mixins IMixin) IConstruct#
Applies one or more mixins to this construct.

Mixins are applied in order. The list of constructs is captured at the start of the call, so constructs added by a mixin will not be visited. Use multiple with() calls if subsequent mixins should apply to added constructs.
