What is @aws-sdk/client-sso?
The @aws-sdk/client-sso package is a client library for AWS Single Sign-On (SSO) that allows developers to interact with the AWS SSO service programmatically. It provides methods to manage SSO access to AWS accounts and applications, retrieve user credentials, and manage SSO sessions.
What are @aws-sdk/client-sso's main functionalities?
GetRoleCredentials
This feature allows you to retrieve the temporary credentials for an AWS role that the user has access to through AWS SSO.
const { SSOClient, GetRoleCredentialsCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-sso');
const client = new SSOClient({ region: 'us-west-2' });
const command = new GetRoleCredentialsCommand({
accountId: '123456789012',
roleName: 'MyRoleName',
accessToken: 'myAccessToken'
});
client.send(command).then((data) => {
console.log(data.roleCredentials);
});
ListAccounts
This feature lists all AWS accounts assigned to the user through AWS SSO.
const { SSOClient, ListAccountsCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-sso');
const client = new SSOClient({ region: 'us-west-2' });
const command = new ListAccountsCommand({
accessToken: 'myAccessToken'
});
client.send(command).then((data) => {
console.log(data.accountList);
});
Logout
This feature logs the user out of all AWS SSO sessions.
const { SSOClient, LogoutCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-sso');
const client = new SSOClient({ region: 'us-west-2' });
const command = new LogoutCommand({
accessToken: 'myAccessToken'
});
client.send(command).then(() => {
console.log('Successfully logged out');
});
Other packages similar to @aws-sdk/client-sso
aws-sdk
The 'aws-sdk' package is the older version of the AWS SDK for JavaScript. It provides a comprehensive feature set for interacting with AWS services, including AWS SSO. However, it is not as modular as the newer '@aws-sdk/client-sso' and might result in larger bundle sizes if only a subset of services is needed.
aws-amplify
The 'aws-amplify' package is a library designed to help build scalable full-stack applications on AWS. It includes authentication features through Amazon Cognito, which can be integrated with AWS SSO for user sign-in and access control. It is a higher-level abstraction compared to '@aws-sdk/client-sso' and includes a broader set of features beyond AWS service interaction.
@aws-sdk/client-sso
Description
AWS SDK for JavaScript SSO Client for Node.js, Browser and React Native.
AWS IAM Identity Center (successor to AWS Single Sign-On) Portal is a web service that makes it easy for you to assign user access to
IAM Identity Center resources such as the AWS access portal. Users can get AWS account applications and roles
assigned to them and get federated into the application.
Although AWS Single Sign-On was renamed, the sso
and
identitystore
API namespaces will continue to retain their original name for
backward compatibility purposes. For more information, see IAM Identity Center rename.
This reference guide describes the IAM Identity Center Portal operations that you can call
programatically and includes detailed information on data types and errors.
AWS provides SDKs that consist of libraries and sample code for various programming
languages and platforms, such as Java, Ruby, .Net, iOS, or Android. The SDKs provide a
convenient way to create programmatic access to IAM Identity Center and other AWS services. For more
information about the AWS SDKs, including how to download and install them, see Tools for Amazon Web Services.
Installing
To install this package, simply type add or install @aws-sdk/client-sso
using your favorite package manager:
npm install @aws-sdk/client-sso
yarn add @aws-sdk/client-sso
pnpm add @aws-sdk/client-sso
Getting Started
Import
The AWS SDK is modulized by clients and commands.
To send a request, you only need to import the SSOClient
and
the commands you need, for example ListAccountsCommand
:
const { SSOClient, ListAccountsCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-sso");
import { SSOClient, ListAccountsCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-sso";
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 SSOClient({ region: "REGION" });
const params = {
};
const command = new ListAccountsCommand(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-sso";
const client = new AWS.SSO({ region: "REGION" });
try {
const data = await client.listAccounts(params);
} catch (error) {
}
client
.listAccounts(params)
.then((data) => {
})
.catch((error) => {
});
client.listAccounts(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 });
}
