Description

AWS SDK for JavaScript ConfigService Client for Node.js, Browser and React Native.

AWS Config

AWS Config provides a way to keep track of the configurations of all the AWS resources associated with your AWS account. You can use AWS Config to get the current and historical configurations of each AWS resource and also to get information about the relationship between the resources. An AWS resource can be an Amazon Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance, an Elastic Block Store (EBS) volume, an elastic network Interface (ENI), or a security group. For a complete list of resources currently supported by AWS Config, see Supported AWS Resources.

You can access and manage AWS Config through the AWS Management Console, the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), the AWS Config API, or the AWS SDKs for AWS Config. This reference guide contains documentation for the AWS Config API and the AWS CLI commands that you can use to manage AWS Config. The AWS Config API uses the Signature Version 4 protocol for signing requests. For more information about how to sign a request with this protocol, see Signature Version 4 Signing Process. For detailed information about AWS Config features and their associated actions or commands, as well as how to work with AWS Management Console, see What Is AWS Config in the AWS Config Developer Guide.

Installing

To install the this package, simply type add or install @aws-sdk/client-config-service using your favorite package manager:

• npm install @aws-sdk/client-config-service
• yarn add @aws-sdk/client-config-service
• pnpm add @aws-sdk/client-config-service

Getting Started

Import

The AWS SDK is modulized by clients and commands. To send a request, you only need to import the ConfigServiceClient and the commands you need, for example BatchGetAggregateResourceConfigCommand:

// ES5 example
const { ConfigServiceClient, BatchGetAggregateResourceConfigCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-config-service");

// ES6+ example
import { ConfigServiceClient, BatchGetAggregateResourceConfigCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-config-service";

Usage

To send a request, you:

• Initiate client with configuration (e.g. credentials, region).
• Initiate command with input parameters.
• Call send operation on client with command object as input.
• If you are using a custom http handler, you may call destroy() to close open connections.

// a client can be shared by difference commands.
const client = new ConfigServiceClient({ region: "REGION" });

const params = {
  /** input parameters */
};
const command = new BatchGetAggregateResourceConfigCommand(params);

Async/await

We recommend using await operator to wait for the promise returned by send operation as follows:

// async/await.
try {
  const data = await client.send(command);
  // process data.
} catch (error) {
  // error handling.
} finally {
  // finally.
}

Async-await is clean, concise, intuitive, easy to debug and has better error handling as compared to using Promise chains or callbacks.

Promises

You can also use Promise chaining to execute send operation.

client.send(command).then(
  (data) => {
    // process data.
  },
  (error) => {
    // error handling.
  }
);

Promises can also be called using .catch() and .finally() as follows:

client
  .send(command)
  .then((data) => {
    // process data.
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // error handling.
  })
  .finally(() => {
    // finally.
  });

Callbacks

We do not recommend using callbacks because of callback hell, but they are supported by the send operation.

// callbacks.
client.send(command, (err, data) => {
  // proccess err and data.
});

v2 compatible style

The client can also send requests using v2 compatible style. However, it results in a bigger bundle size and may be dropped in next major version. More details in the blog post on modular packages in AWS SDK for JavaScript

import * as AWS from "@aws-sdk/client-config-service";
const client = new AWS.ConfigService({ region: "REGION" });

// async/await.
try {
  const data = client.batchGetAggregateResourceConfig(params);
  // process data.
} catch (error) {
  // error handling.
}

// Promises.
client
  .batchGetAggregateResourceConfig(params)
  .then((data) => {
    // process data.
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // error handling.
  });

// callbacks.
client.batchGetAggregateResourceConfig(params, (err, data) => {
  // proccess err and data.
});

Troubleshooting

When the service returns an exception, the error will include the exception information, as well as response metadata (e.g. request id).

try {
  const data = await client.send(command);
  // process data.
} catch (error) {
  const { requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId } = error.$metadata;
  console.log({ requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId });
  /**
   * The keys within exceptions are also parsed.
   * You can access them by specifying exception names:
   * if (error.name === 'SomeServiceException') {
   *     const value = error.specialKeyInException;
   * }
   */
}
