# Secret

Secret is returned by the SecretsManagerClient.* methods that query secrets. Namely, [listSecrets](/docs/k6/latest/javascript-api/jslib/aws/secretsmanagerclient/listsecrets/), [getSecret](/docs/k6/latest/javascript-api/jslib/aws/secretsmanagerclient/getsecret/), [createSecret](/docs/k6/latest/javascript-api/jslib/aws/secretsmanagerclient/createsecret/), and [putSecretValue](/docs/k6/latest/javascript-api/jslib/aws/secretsmanagerclient/putsecretvalue/) returns either an instance or array of Secret objects. The Secret object describes an Amazon Secrets Manager secret.

| `Secret.name`            | string                        | The friendly name of the secret. You can use forward slashes in the name to represent a path hierarchy.                                       |
| `Secret.arn`             | string                        | The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the secret.                                                                                                 |

| `Secret.lastAccessDate`  | number                        | The last date that this secret was accessed. This value is truncated to midnight of the date and therefore shows only the date, not the time. |

export default async function () {
  // List the secrets the AWS authentication configuration
  // gives us access to.
  const secrets = await secretsManager.listSecrets();

  // If our test secret does not exist, abort the execution.
  if (secrets.filter((s) => s.name === testSecretName).length == 0) {
    exec.test.abort('test secret not found');
  }

  // Let's get it and print its content
  const downloadedSecret = await secretsManager.getSecret(testSecretName);
  console.log(downloadedSecret.secret);
}
