AWS Secrets Manager is a service that helps you protect sensitive information, such as database credentials, API keys, and other secrets, by securely storing and managing access to them.

The ballerinax/aws.secretmanager package provides APIs to interact with AWS Secrets Manager, enabling developers to programmatically manage secrets, including creating, retrieving, updating, and deleting secrets in their applications.

Before using this connector in your Ballerina application, complete the following:

1. Create an AWS account
2. Obtain tokens

To use the aws.secretmanager connector in your Ballerina project, modify the .bal file as follows:

Import the ballerinax/aws.secretmanager module into your Ballerina project.

import ballerinax/aws.secretmanager;

Create a new secretmanager:Client by providing the access key ID, secret access key, and the region.

configurable string accessKeyId = ?;
configurable string secretAccessKey = ?;

secretmanager:Client secretmanager = check new(region = secretmanager:US_EAST_1, auth = {
    accessKeyId,
    secretAccessKey
});

// todo: complete this

Use the following command to compile and run the Ballerina program.
