Unlike Sceptre's built-in file_contents resolver, which only handles plain text, this resolver automatically detects file type by extension and parses JSON and YAML files into structured objects, passing them to parameters as native types. It also supports fetching files from remote URLs via HTTP, making it useful for pulling configuration from S3 buckets or other web sources.\n\nYou use it by adding a YAML tag `!file` to parameter definitions in your Sceptre stack configs, pointing to either a local file path or a URL. The resolver handles the fetch and parse transparently, so your CloudFormation templates receive properly typed data without manual conversion steps.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you use Sceptre and need to inject structured file contents (JSON, YAML) or remote files into CloudFormation parameters. The low install friction, active maintenance, permissive license, and zero known vulnerabilities make it a safe addition. Not relevant if you only use plain-text file injection or do not use Sceptre."},"id":"sceptre-file-resolver","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sceptre-file-resolver","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sceptre-file-resolver.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/sceptre-file-resolver/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-03-07","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"sceptre-file-resolver","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A Sceptre resolver to retrieve file content"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":115083,"position":12270,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.6"}
