// ABOUT THIS NODE.JS SAMPLE: This sample is part of the AWS Secrets Manager.
// In this sample we only handle the specific exceptions for the 'GetSecretValue' API.
// If you need more information about configurations or implementing the sample code, visit the AWS docs:
// https://aws.amazon.com/developers/getting-started/nodejs/

// Load the AWS SDK
var AWS = require('aws-sdk'),
    region = "<<{{MyRegionName}}>>",
    secretName = "<<{{MySecretName}}>>",
    secret,
    decodedBinarySecret;

// Create a Secrets Manager client
var client = new AWS.SecretsManager({
    region: region
});

// In this sample we only handle the specific exceptions for the 'GetSecretValue' API.
// See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/secretsmanager/latest/apireference/API_GetSecretValue.html
// We rethrow the exception by default.

            // Secrets Manager can't decrypt the protected secret text using the provided KMS key.
            // Deal with the exception here, and/or rethrow at your discretion.
            throw err;
