Nijmegen Utils

A library of utilities used by the municipality of Nijmegen.

Available utilities:

• BSN validator
• AWS utilities

BSN

A convenience class wrapping a BSN-number. It validates them on creation, ensuring that further use of the BSN is safe. Useage:

const { Bsn } = require('@gemeentenijmegen/utils');

try {
    const myBsn = new Bsn('999996708');
    doSomethingWith(myBsn.bsn);
} catch (err) {
    console.error('The BSN wasn't valid');
}

AWS

A utility with two methods getParameter(name: string) and getSecret(arn: string) for fetching parameters and secret strings from the parameter store or secret manager. Both functions return a promise.

const { AWS } = require('@gemeentenijmegen/utils');
const param = await AWS.getParameter('/cdk/path/to/ssm/param/');
const secret = await AWS.getSecret('/cdk/path/to/secrets/manager/secret');
