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
});
