@aws-sdk/client-acm

What is @aws-sdk/client-acm?

@aws-sdk/client-acm is a part of the AWS SDK for JavaScript, which allows developers to interact with the AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) service. This package provides methods to request, manage, and deploy SSL/TLS certificates for use with AWS services and internal connected resources.

What are @aws-sdk/client-acm's main functionalities?

Request a Certificate

This feature allows you to request a new SSL/TLS certificate for a specified domain. The code sample demonstrates how to request a certificate for 'example.com' using email validation.

const { ACMClient, RequestCertificateCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-acm');

const client = new ACMClient({ region: 'us-west-2' });
const command = new RequestCertificateCommand({
  DomainName: 'example.com',
  ValidationMethod: 'EMAIL',
});

client.send(command).then(
  (data) => console.log(data),
  (error) => console.error(error)
);

List Certificates

This feature allows you to list all the certificates in your AWS account. The code sample demonstrates how to retrieve and log the list of certificates.

const { ACMClient, ListCertificatesCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-acm');

const client = new ACMClient({ region: 'us-west-2' });
const command = new ListCertificatesCommand({});

client.send(command).then(
  (data) => console.log(data),
  (error) => console.error(error)
);

Describe Certificate

This feature allows you to get detailed information about a specific certificate. The code sample demonstrates how to describe a certificate using its ARN.

const { ACMClient, DescribeCertificateCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-acm');

const client = new ACMClient({ region: 'us-west-2' });
const command = new DescribeCertificateCommand({
  CertificateArn: 'arn:aws:acm:us-west-2:123456789012:certificate/abcd1234-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE11111',
});

client.send(command).then(
  (data) => console.log(data),
  (error) => console.error(error)
);

Delete Certificate

This feature allows you to delete a specified certificate. The code sample demonstrates how to delete a certificate using its ARN.

const { ACMClient, DeleteCertificateCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-acm');

const client = new ACMClient({ region: 'us-west-2' });
const command = new DeleteCertificateCommand({
  CertificateArn: 'arn:aws:acm:us-west-2:123456789012:certificate/abcd1234-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE11111',
});

client.send(command).then(
  (data) => console.log(data),
  (error) => console.error(error)
);

Other packages similar to @aws-sdk/client-acm

node-acme

node-acme is a client library for the ACME protocol, which is used by Let's Encrypt to automate the process of obtaining SSL/TLS certificates. Unlike @aws-sdk/client-acm, which is specific to AWS Certificate Manager, node-acme can be used to interact with any ACME-compliant certificate authority.

acme-client

acme-client is another library for the ACME protocol, providing a simple and flexible way to interact with ACME servers like Let's Encrypt. It offers similar functionalities to node-acme but with a different API design. It is not tied to AWS services and can be used with any ACME-compliant CA.

Description

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

Amazon Web Services Certificate Manager

You can use Amazon Web Services Certificate Manager (ACM) to manage SSL/TLS certificates for your Amazon Web Services-based websites and applications. For more information about using ACM, see the Amazon Web Services Certificate Manager User Guide.

Installing

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

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

Getting Started

Import

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

// ES5 example
const { ACMClient, AddTagsToCertificateCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-acm");

// ES6+ example
import { ACMClient, AddTagsToCertificateCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-acm";

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 different commands.
const client = new ACMClient({ region: "REGION" });

const params = {
  /** input parameters */
};
const command = new AddTagsToCertificateCommand(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-acm";
const client = new AWS.ACM({ region: "REGION" });

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

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

// callbacks.
client.addTagsToCertificate(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;
   * }
   */
}
