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

// ES5 example
const { ForecastClient, ListDatasetGroupsCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-forecast");

// ES6+ example
import { ForecastClient, ListDatasetGroupsCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-forecast";

Usage

To send a request:

Instantiate a client with configuration (e.g. credentials, region).
- See docs/CLIENTS for configuration details.
- See @aws-sdk/config for additional options.
Instantiate a command with input parameters.
Call the send operation on the client, providing the command object as input.

const client = new ForecastClient({ region: "REGION" });

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

Async/await

We recommend using the 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.
}

Promises

You can also use Promise chaining.

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

Aggregated client

The aggregated client class is exported from the same package, but without the "Client" suffix.

Forecast extends ForecastClient and additionally supports all operations, waiters, and paginators as methods. This style may be familiar to you from the AWS SDK for JavaScript v2.

If you are bundling the AWS SDK, we recommend using only the bare-bones client (ForecastClient). More details are in the blog post on modular packages in AWS SDK for JavaScript.

import { Forecast } from "@aws-sdk/client-forecast";

const client = new Forecast({ region: "REGION" });

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

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

// callbacks (not recommended).
client.listDatasetGroups(params, (err, data) => {
  // process 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;
   * }
   */
}
