AWS SDK for Go v2
aws-sdk-go-v2 is the Developer Preview for the v2 of the AWS SDK for the Go programming language.
Check out the Issues and Projects for design and updates being made to the SDK. The v2 SDK requires a minimum version of Go 1.9.
We'll be expanding out the Issues and Projects sections with additional changes to the SDK based on your feedback, and SDK's core's improvements. Check the the SDK's CHANGE_LOG for information about the latest updates to the SDK.
Getting started
The best way to get started working with the SDK is to use go get
to add the SDK to your Go Workspace manually.
go get github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2
You could also use Dep to add the SDK to your application's dependencies. Using Dep will simplify your update story and help your application keep pinned to specific version of the SDK
dep ensure --add github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2
Hello AWS
This example shows how you can use the v2 SDK to make an API request using the SDK's Amazon DynamoDB client.
package main
import (
"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/aws/endpoints"
"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/aws/external"
"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/service/dynamodb"
)
func main() {
cfg, err := external.LoadDefaultAWSConfig()
if err != nil {
panic("unable to load SDK config, " + err.Error())
}
cfg.Region = endpoints.UsWest2RegionID
svc := dynamodb.New(cfg)
req := svc.DescribeTableRequest(&dynamodb.DescribeTableInput{
Tablename: aws.String("myTable"),
})
resp, err := req.Send()
if err != nil {
panic("failed to describe table, "+err.Error())
}
fmt.Println("Response", resp)
}
Feedback and contributing
The v2 SDK will use [GitHub issues] to track feature requests and issues with the SDK. In addition, we'll use GitHub Projects to track large tasks spanning multiple pull requests, such as refactoring the SDK's internal request lifecycle. You can provide feedback to us in several ways.
GitHub issues. To provide feedback using GitHub Issues on the SDK. This is the preferred mechanism to give feedback so that other users can engage in the conversation, +1 issues, etc. Issues you open will be evaluated, and included in our roadmap for the GA launch.
Gitter channel. For more informal discussions or general feedback, check out our Gitter channel for the SDK. The Gitter channel is also a great place to ask general questions, and find help to get started with the 2.0 SDK Developer Preview.
Contributing. You can open pull requests for fixes or additions to the AWS SDK for Go 2.0 Developer Preview release. All pull requests must be submitted under the Apache 2.0 license and will be reviewed by an SDK team member before being merged in. Accompanying unit tests, where possible, are appreciated.
