Package description

What is @aws-sdk/credential-provider-ini?

The @aws-sdk/credential-provider-ini package is a module that allows Node.js developers to load AWS credentials from INI-formatted files, such as the ones created by the AWS CLI. This package is part of the AWS SDK for JavaScript (v3) and is used to retrieve AWS credentials from local configuration files, enabling developers to authenticate AWS SDK calls.

What are @aws-sdk/credential-provider-ini's main functionalities?

Loading credentials from a shared INI file

This feature allows developers to load AWS credentials from a shared INI file, typically located at `~/.aws/credentials`. The `fromIni` function reads the file and returns the credentials for the default profile or a specified profile.

const { fromIni } = require('@aws-sdk/credential-provider-ini');
const credentials = fromIni();

Specifying a custom profile

Developers can specify a custom profile to load credentials for a specific AWS account or role. This is useful when working with multiple AWS accounts or when different permissions are needed.

const { fromIni } = require('@aws-sdk/credential-provider-ini');
const credentials = fromIni({ profile: 'myCustomProfile' });

Assuming a role with MFA

This feature supports assuming an IAM role that requires Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). The `mfaCodeProvider` is a function that returns the MFA code, which is then used to assume the role.

const { fromIni } = require('@aws-sdk/credential-provider-ini');
const credentials = fromIni({
  profile: 'myRoleProfile',
  mfaCodeProvider: async () => '123456', // Replace with actual MFA code provider
});
