```typescript
import { User } from "@aws-cdk/aws-iam";
import { SesSmtpCredentials } from "@pepperize/cdk-ses-smtp-credentials";

const user = new User(stack, "SesUser", {
  userName: "ses-user",
});
const smtpCredentials = new SesSmtpCredentials(this, "SmtpCredentials", {
  user: user,
});

// smtpCredentials.secret contains json value {username: "<the generated access key id>", password: "<the calculated ses smtp password>"}
```

See [API Reference - SesSmtpCredentials](https://github.com/pepperize/cdk-ses-smtp-credentials/blob/main/API.md#sessmtpcredentials-)

### Create AWS SES Smtp Credentials and create a new user

import { User } from "@aws-cdk/aws-iam";
import { SesSmtpCredentials } from "@pepperize/cdk-ses-smtp-credentials";

const smtpCredentials = new SesSmtpCredentials(this, "SmtpCredentials", {
  userName: "ses-user",
});

// smtpCredentials.secret contains json value {username: "<the generated access key id>", password: "<the calculated ses smtp password>"}

import { calculateSesSmtpPassword } from "@pepperize/cdk-ses-smtp-credentials";

const iam = new AWS.IAM();
const accessKey = await iam
  .createAccessKey({
    UserName: username,
  })
  .promise();
const accessKeyId = accessKey.AccessKey.AccessKeyId;
const secretAccessKey = accessKey.AccessKey.SecretAccessKey;

const password = calculateSesSmtpPassword(secretAccessKey, "us-east-1");

console.log({
  username: accessKeyId,
  password: password,
});
```
