AWS SDK for JavaScript WorkDocs Client for Node.js, Browser and React Native.
The Amazon WorkDocs API is designed for the following use cases:
File Migration: File migration applications are supported for users who want to migrate their files from an on-premises or off-premises file system or service. Users can insert files into a user directory structure, as well as allow for basic metadata changes, such as modifications to the permissions of files.
Security: Support security applications are supported for users who have additional security needs, such as antivirus or data loss prevention. The API actions, along with CloudTrail, allow these applications to detect when changes occur in Amazon WorkDocs. Then, the application can take the necessary actions and replace the target file. If the target file violates the policy, the application can also choose to email the user.
eDiscovery/Analytics: General administrative applications are supported, such as eDiscovery and analytics. These applications can choose to mimic or record the actions in an Amazon WorkDocs site, along with CloudTrail, to replicate data for eDiscovery, backup, or analytical applications.
All Amazon WorkDocs API actions are Amazon authenticated and certificate-signed. They not only require the use of the Amazon Web Services SDK, but also allow for the exclusive use of IAM users and roles to help facilitate access, trust, and permission policies. By creating a role and allowing an IAM user to access the Amazon WorkDocs site, the IAM user gains full administrative visibility into the entire Amazon WorkDocs site (or as set in the IAM policy). This includes, but is not limited to, the ability to modify file permissions and upload any file to any user. This allows developers to perform the three use cases above, as well as give users the ability to grant access on a selective basis using the IAM model.
The pricing for Amazon WorkDocs APIs varies depending on the API call type for these actions:
READ (Get*)
WRITE (Activate*, Add*, Create*, Deactivate*, Initiate*, Update*)
LIST (Describe*)
DELETE*, CANCEL
For information about Amazon WorkDocs API pricing, see Amazon WorkDocs Pricing.
To install this package, simply type add or install @aws-sdk/client-workdocs using your favorite package manager:
npm install @aws-sdk/client-workdocs
yarn add @aws-sdk/client-workdocs
pnpm add @aws-sdk/client-workdocs
The AWS SDK is modulized by clients and commands.
To send a request, you only need to import the WorkDocsClient
and
the commands you need, for example DescribeUsersCommand
:
// ES5 example
const { WorkDocsClient, DescribeUsersCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-workdocs");
// ES6+ example
import { WorkDocsClient, DescribeUsersCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-workdocs";
To send a request, you:
send
operation on client with command object as input.destroy()
to close open connections.// a client can be shared by different commands.
const client = new WorkDocsClient({ region: "REGION" });
const params = {
/** input parameters */
};
const command = new DescribeUsersCommand(params);
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.
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.
});
We do not recommend using callbacks because of callback hell, but they are supported by the send operation.
// callbacks.
client.send(command, (err, data) => {
// process err and data.
});
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-workdocs";
const client = new AWS.WorkDocs({ region: "REGION" });
// async/await.
try {
const data = await client.describeUsers(params);
// process data.
} catch (error) {
// error handling.
}
// Promises.
client
.describeUsers(params)
.then((data) => {
// process data.
})
.catch((error) => {
// error handling.
});
// callbacks.
client.describeUsers(params, (err, data) => {
// process err and data.
});
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;
* }
*/
}
