## How to install

<a id="generate-locally-(recommended)"></a>

### Generate locally (recommended)

You can generate type annotations for `boto3` package locally with
`mypy-boto3-builder`. Use
[uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/) for build
isolation.

1. Run mypy-boto3-builder in your package root directory:
   `uvx --with 'boto3==1.42.49' mypy-boto3-builder`
2. Select `boto3-stubs` AWS SDK.
3. Add `CloudWatch` service.
4. Use provided commands to install generated packages.

<a id="vscode-extension"></a>

### VSCode extension

Add
[AWS Boto3](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Boto3typed.boto3-ide)
extension to your VSCode and run `AWS boto3: Quick Start` command.

Click `Modify` and select `boto3 common` and `CloudWatch`.

<a id="from-pypi-with-pip"></a>

### From PyPI with pip

Install `boto3-stubs` for `CloudWatch` service.

```bash
# install with boto3 type annotations
python -m pip install 'boto3-stubs[cloudwatch]'

# Lite version does not provide session.client/resource overloads
# it is more RAM-friendly, but requires explicit type annotations
python -m pip install 'boto3-stubs-lite[cloudwatch]'

# standalone installation
python -m pip install mypy-boto3-cloudwatch
```

<a id="how-to-uninstall"></a>

## How to uninstall

```bash
python -m pip uninstall -y mypy-boto3-cloudwatch
```

<a id="usage"></a>

## Usage

<a id="vscode"></a>

### VSCode

- Install
  [Python extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-python.python)
- Install
  [Pylance extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-python.vscode-pylance)
- Set `Pylance` as your Python Language Server
- Install `boto3-stubs[cloudwatch]` in your environment:

```bash
python -m pip install 'boto3-stubs[cloudwatch]'
```

Both type checking and code completion should now work. No explicit type
annotations required, write your `boto3` code as usual.

<a id="pycharm"></a>

### PyCharm

> ⚠️ Due to slow PyCharm performance on `Literal` overloads (issue
> [PY-40997](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-40997)), it is recommended
> to use [boto3-stubs-lite](https://pypi.org/project/boto3-stubs-lite/) until
> the issue is resolved.

> ⚠️ If you experience slow performance and high CPU usage, try to disable
> `PyCharm` type checker and use [mypy](https://github.com/python/mypy) or
> [pyright](https://github.com/microsoft/pyright) instead.

> ⚠️ To continue using `PyCharm` type checker, you can try to replace
> `boto3-stubs` with
> [boto3-stubs-lite](https://pypi.org/project/boto3-stubs-lite/):

```bash
pip uninstall boto3-stubs
pip install boto3-stubs-lite
```

Install `boto3-stubs[cloudwatch]` in your environment:

```bash
python -m pip install 'boto3-stubs[cloudwatch]'
```

Both type checking and code completion should now work.

<a id="emacs"></a>

### Emacs

- Install `boto3-stubs` with services you use in your environment:

```bash
python -m pip install 'boto3-stubs[cloudwatch]'
```

- Install [use-package](https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package),
  [lsp](https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode/),
  [company](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode) and
  [flycheck](https://github.com/flycheck/flycheck) packages
- Install [lsp-pyright](https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-pyright) package

```elisp
(use-package lsp-pyright
  :ensure t
  :hook (python-mode . (lambda ()
                          (require 'lsp-pyright)
                          (lsp)))  ; or lsp-deferred
  :init (when (executable-find "python3")
          (setq lsp-pyright-python-executable-cmd "python3"))
  )
```

- Make sure emacs uses the environment where you have installed `boto3-stubs`

Type checking should now work. No explicit type annotations required, write
your `boto3` code as usual.

<a id="sublime-text"></a>

### Sublime Text

- Install `boto3-stubs[cloudwatch]` with services you use in your environment:

```bash
python -m pip install 'boto3-stubs[cloudwatch]'
```

- Install [LSP-pyright](https://github.com/sublimelsp/LSP-pyright) package

Type checking should now work. No explicit type annotations required, write
your `boto3` code as usual.

<a id="other-ides"></a>

### Other IDEs

Not tested, but as long as your IDE supports `mypy` or `pyright`, everything
should work.

<a id="mypy"></a>

### mypy

- Install `mypy`: `python -m pip install mypy`
- Install `boto3-stubs[cloudwatch]` in your environment:

```bash
python -m pip install 'boto3-stubs[cloudwatch]'
```

Type checking should now work. No explicit type annotations required, write
your `boto3` code as usual.

<a id="pyright"></a>

### pyright

- Install `pyright`: `npm i -g pyright`
- Install `boto3-stubs[cloudwatch]` in your environment:

```bash
python -m pip install 'boto3-stubs[cloudwatch]'
```

Optionally, you can install `boto3-stubs` to `typings` directory.

Type checking should now work. No explicit type annotations required, write
your `boto3` code as usual.

<a id="pylint-compatibility"></a>

### Pylint compatibility

It is totally safe to use `TYPE_CHECKING` flag in order to avoid
`mypy-boto3-cloudwatch` dependency in production. However, there is an issue in
`pylint` that it complains about undefined variables. To fix it, set all types
to `object` in non-`TYPE_CHECKING` mode.

```python
from typing import TYPE_CHECKING

if TYPE_CHECKING:
    from mypy_boto3_ec2 import EC2Client, EC2ServiceResource
    from mypy_boto3_ec2.waiters import BundleTaskCompleteWaiter
    from mypy_boto3_ec2.paginators import DescribeVolumesPaginator
else:
    EC2Client = object
    EC2ServiceResource = object
    BundleTaskCompleteWaiter = object
    DescribeVolumesPaginator = object

...
```

<a id="explicit-type-annotations"></a>

## Explicit type annotations

<a id="client-annotations"></a>

### Client annotations

`CloudWatchClient` provides annotations for `boto3.client("cloudwatch")`.

```python
from boto3.session import Session

from mypy_boto3_cloudwatch import CloudWatchClient

client: CloudWatchClient = Session().client("cloudwatch")

# now client usage is checked by mypy and IDE should provide code completion
```

<a id="paginators-annotations"></a>

### Paginators annotations

`mypy_boto3_cloudwatch.paginator` module contains type annotations for all
paginators.

```python
from boto3.session import Session

from mypy_boto3_cloudwatch import CloudWatchClient
from mypy_boto3_cloudwatch.paginator import (
    DescribeAlarmHistoryPaginator,
    DescribeAlarmsPaginator,
    DescribeAnomalyDetectorsPaginator,
    GetMetricDataPaginator,
    ListDashboardsPaginator,
    ListMetricsPaginator,
)

client: CloudWatchClient = Session().client("cloudwatch")

# Explicit type annotations are optional here
# Types should be correctly discovered by mypy and IDEs
describe_alarm_history_paginator: DescribeAlarmHistoryPaginator = client.get_paginator(
    "describe_alarm_history"
)
describe_alarms_paginator: DescribeAlarmsPaginator = client.get_paginator("describe_alarms")
describe_anomaly_detectors_paginator: DescribeAnomalyDetectorsPaginator = client.get_paginator(
    "describe_anomaly_detectors"
)
get_metric_data_paginator: GetMetricDataPaginator = client.get_paginator("get_metric_data")
list_dashboards_paginator: ListDashboardsPaginator = client.get_paginator("list_dashboards")
list_metrics_paginator: ListMetricsPaginator = client.get_paginator("list_metrics")
```

<a id="waiters-annotations"></a>

### Waiters annotations

`mypy_boto3_cloudwatch.waiter` module contains type annotations for all
waiters.

```python
from boto3.session import Session

from mypy_boto3_cloudwatch import CloudWatchClient
from mypy_boto3_cloudwatch.waiter import AlarmExistsWaiter, CompositeAlarmExistsWaiter

client: CloudWatchClient = Session().client("cloudwatch")

# Explicit type annotations are optional here
# Types should be correctly discovered by mypy and IDEs
alarm_exists_waiter: AlarmExistsWaiter = client.get_waiter("alarm_exists")
composite_alarm_exists_waiter: CompositeAlarmExistsWaiter = client.get_waiter(
    "composite_alarm_exists"
)
```

<a id="service-resource-annotations"></a>

### Service Resource annotations

`CloudWatchServiceResource` provides annotations for
`boto3.resource("cloudwatch")`.

```python
from boto3.session import Session

from mypy_boto3_cloudwatch import CloudWatchServiceResource

resource: CloudWatchServiceResource = Session().resource("cloudwatch")

# now resource usage is checked by mypy and IDE should provide code completion
```

<a id="other-resources-annotations"></a>

### Other resources annotations

`mypy_boto3_cloudwatch.service_resource` module contains type annotations for
all resources.

```python
from boto3.session import Session

from mypy_boto3_cloudwatch import CloudWatchServiceResource
from mypy_boto3_cloudwatch.service_resource import Alarm, Metric

resource: CloudWatchServiceResource = Session().resource("cloudwatch")

# Explicit type annotations are optional here
# Type should be correctly discovered by mypy and IDEs
my_alarm: Alarm = resource.Alarm(...)
my_metric: Metric = resource.Metric(...)
```

<a id="collections-annotations"></a>

### Collections annotations

`mypy_boto3_cloudwatch.service_resource` module contains type annotations for
all `CloudWatchServiceResource` collections.

```python
from boto3.session import Session

from mypy_boto3_cloudwatch import CloudWatchServiceResource
from mypy_boto3_cloudwatch.service_resource import (
    ServiceResourceAlarmsCollection,
    ServiceResourceMetricsCollection,
)

resource: CloudWatchServiceResource = Session().resource("cloudwatch")

# Explicit type annotations are optional here
# Type should be correctly discovered by mypy and IDEs
alarms: cloudwatch_resources.ServiceResourceAlarmsCollection = resource.alarms
metrics: cloudwatch_resources.ServiceResourceMetricsCollection = resource.metrics
```

<a id="literals"></a>

### Literals

`mypy_boto3_cloudwatch.literals` module contains literals extracted from shapes
that can be used in user code for type checking.

Full list of `CloudWatch` Literals can be found in
[docs](https://youtype.github.io/boto3_stubs_docs/mypy_boto3_cloudwatch/literals/).

```python
from mypy_boto3_cloudwatch.literals import ActionsSuppressedByType


def check_value(value: ActionsSuppressedByType) -> bool: ...
```

<a id="type-definitions"></a>

### Type definitions

`mypy_boto3_cloudwatch.type_defs` module contains structures and shapes
assembled to typed dictionaries and unions for additional type checking.

Full list of `CloudWatch` TypeDefs can be found in
[docs](https://youtype.github.io/boto3_stubs_docs/mypy_boto3_cloudwatch/type_defs/).

```python
# TypedDict usage example
from mypy_boto3_cloudwatch.type_defs import AlarmContributorTypeDef


def get_value() -> AlarmContributorTypeDef:
    return {
        "ContributorId": ...,
    }
```

<a id="how-it-works"></a>

## How it works

Fully automated
[mypy-boto3-builder](https://github.com/youtype/mypy_boto3_builder) carefully
generates type annotations for each service, patiently waiting for `boto3`
updates. It delivers drop-in type annotations for you and makes sure that:

- All available `boto3` services are covered.
- Each public class and method of every `boto3` service gets valid type
  annotations extracted from `botocore` schemas.
- Type annotations include up-to-date documentation.
- Link to documentation is provided for every method.
- Code is processed by [ruff](https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/) for readability.
