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

Create CloudFront Distribution

This feature allows you to create a new CloudFront distribution. The code sample demonstrates how to set up a distribution with a custom origin and default cache behavior.

const { CloudFrontClient, CreateDistributionCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-cloudfront');

const client = new CloudFrontClient({ region: 'us-east-1' });

const params = {
  DistributionConfig: {
    CallerReference: 'unique-string',
    Origins: {
      Quantity: 1,
      Items: [
        {
          Id: 'origin-1',
          DomainName: 'example.com',
          CustomOriginConfig: {
            HTTPPort: 80,
            HTTPSPort: 443,
            OriginProtocolPolicy: 'http-only'
          }
        }
      ]
    },
    DefaultCacheBehavior: {
      TargetOriginId: 'origin-1',
      ViewerProtocolPolicy: 'allow-all',
      ForwardedValues: {
        QueryString: false,
        Cookies: {
          Forward: 'none'
        }
      },
      TrustedSigners: {
        Enabled: false,
        Quantity: 0
      }
    },
    Enabled: true
  }
};

const run = async () => {
  try {
    const data = await client.send(new CreateDistributionCommand(params));
    console.log('Distribution created:', data);
  } catch (err) {
    console.error('Error creating distribution:', err);
  }
};

run();

List CloudFront Distributions

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

const { CloudFrontClient, ListDistributionsCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-cloudfront');

const client = new CloudFrontClient({ region: 'us-east-1' });

const run = async () => {
  try {
    const data = await client.send(new ListDistributionsCommand({}));
    console.log('Distributions:', data.DistributionList.Items);
  } catch (err) {
    console.error('Error listing distributions:', err);
  }
};

run();

Create Invalidation

This feature allows you to create an invalidation for a CloudFront distribution. The code sample demonstrates how to invalidate specific paths in a distribution.

const { CloudFrontClient, CreateInvalidationCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-cloudfront');

const client = new CloudFrontClient({ region: 'us-east-1' });

const params = {
  DistributionId: 'EXAMPLE_DIST_ID',
  InvalidationBatch: {
    CallerReference: 'unique-string',
    Paths: {
      Quantity: 1,
      Items: ['/path/to/invalidate']
    }
  }
};

const run = async () => {
  try {
    const data = await client.send(new CreateInvalidationCommand(params));
    console.log('Invalidation created:', data);
  } catch (err) {
    console.error('Error creating invalidation:', err);
  }
};

run();
