What is @aws-sdk/client-ecr?
@aws-sdk/client-ecr is an AWS SDK for JavaScript package that allows developers to interact with Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR). ECR is a fully managed Docker container registry that makes it easy to store, manage, and deploy Docker container images.
What are @aws-sdk/client-ecr's main functionalities?
Create Repository
This feature allows you to create a new repository in Amazon ECR. The code sample demonstrates how to create a repository named 'my-repo' using the ECRClient and CreateRepositoryCommand.
const { ECRClient, CreateRepositoryCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-ecr');
const client = new ECRClient({ region: 'us-west-2' });
const command = new CreateRepositoryCommand({ repositoryName: 'my-repo' });
client.send(command).then(
(data) => console.log(data),
(error) => console.error(error)
);
List Repositories
This feature allows you to list all repositories in your Amazon ECR. The code sample demonstrates how to use the DescribeRepositoriesCommand to retrieve and log the list of repositories.
const { ECRClient, DescribeRepositoriesCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-ecr');
const client = new ECRClient({ region: 'us-west-2' });
const command = new DescribeRepositoriesCommand({});
client.send(command).then(
(data) => console.log(data.repositories),
(error) => console.error(error)
);
Delete Repository
This feature allows you to delete a repository from Amazon ECR. The code sample demonstrates how to delete a repository named 'my-repo' using the DeleteRepositoryCommand.
const { ECRClient, DeleteRepositoryCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-ecr');
const client = new ECRClient({ region: 'us-west-2' });
const command = new DeleteRepositoryCommand({ repositoryName: 'my-repo', force: true });
client.send(command).then(
(data) => console.log(data),
(error) => console.error(error)
);
Push Image
This feature allows you to push a Docker image to an Amazon ECR repository. The code sample demonstrates how to get an authorization token, log in to the ECR registry using Docker, and push an image named 'my-repo:latest'.
const { ECRClient, GetAuthorizationTokenCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-ecr');
const { exec } = require('child_process');
const client = new ECRClient({ region: 'us-west-2' });
const command = new GetAuthorizationTokenCommand({});
client.send(command).then(
(data) => {
const authData = data.authorizationData[0];
const authToken = Buffer.from(authData.authorizationToken, 'base64').toString('utf-8').split(':')[1];
const proxyEndpoint = authData.proxyEndpoint;
exec(`docker login -u AWS -p ${authToken} ${proxyEndpoint}`, (err, stdout, stderr) => {
if (err) {
console.error('Login failed:', stderr);
return;
}
console.log('Login successful:', stdout);
exec('docker push my-repo:latest', (err, stdout, stderr) => {
if (err) {
console.error('Push failed:', stderr);
return;
}
console.log('Push successful:', stdout);
});
});
},
(error) => console.error(error)
);
Other packages similar to @aws-sdk/client-ecr
dockerode
Dockerode is a Node.js module that provides a Docker Remote API client. It allows you to manage Docker containers, images, and networks. Unlike @aws-sdk/client-ecr, which is specific to Amazon ECR, Dockerode provides a more general interface for interacting with Docker.
node-docker-api
Node-docker-api is another Node.js client for the Docker Remote API. It offers a promise-based interface for managing Docker containers, images, volumes, and networks. Similar to Dockerode, it is not specific to Amazon ECR but provides broader Docker management capabilities.
aws-sdk
The aws-sdk package is the older, monolithic AWS SDK for JavaScript. It includes support for all AWS services, including ECR. However, it is larger and less modular compared to the newer, service-specific packages like @aws-sdk/client-ecr.
@aws-sdk/client-ecr
Description
AWS SDK for JavaScript ECR Client for Node.js, Browser and React Native.
Amazon Elastic Container Registry
Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) is a managed container image registry service. Customers can use the
familiar Docker CLI, or their preferred client, to push, pull, and manage images. Amazon ECR
provides a secure, scalable, and reliable registry for your Docker or Open Container
Initiative (OCI) images. Amazon ECR supports private repositories with resource-based
permissions using IAM so that specific users or Amazon EC2 instances can access
repositories and images.
Amazon ECR has service endpoints in each supported Region. For more information, see Amazon ECR endpoints in the
Amazon Web Services General Reference.
Installing
To install the this package, simply type add or install @aws-sdk/client-ecr
using your favorite package manager:
npm install @aws-sdk/client-ecr
yarn add @aws-sdk/client-ecr
pnpm add @aws-sdk/client-ecr
Getting Started
Import
The AWS SDK is modulized by clients and commands.
To send a request, you only need to import the ECRClient
and
the commands you need, for example ListImagesCommand
:
const { ECRClient, ListImagesCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-ecr");
import { ECRClient, ListImagesCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-ecr";
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.
const client = new ECRClient({ region: "REGION" });
const params = {
};
const command = new ListImagesCommand(params);
Async/await
We recommend using await
operator to wait for the promise returned by send operation as follows:
try {
const data = await client.send(command);
} catch (error) {
} 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) => {
},
(error) => {
}
);
Promises can also be called using .catch()
and .finally()
as follows:
client
.send(command)
.then((data) => {
})
.catch((error) => {
})
.finally(() => {
});
Callbacks
We do not recommend using callbacks because of callback hell,
but they are supported by the send operation.
client.send(command, (err, 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-ecr";
const client = new AWS.ECR({ region: "REGION" });
try {
const data = await client.listImages(params);
} catch (error) {
}
client
.listImages(params)
.then((data) => {
})
.catch((error) => {
});
client.listImages(params, (err, 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);
} catch (error) {
const { requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId } = error.$metadata;
console.log({ requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId });
}
