What are @aws-sdk/middleware-recursion-detection's main functionalities?

Recursion Detection Middleware

This feature allows you to add recursion detection middleware to an AWS SDK client. The middleware helps in detecting recursive calls and prevents potential infinite loops.

const { S3Client } = require('@aws-sdk/client-s3');
const { recursionDetectionMiddleware } = require('@aws-sdk/middleware-recursion-detection');

const client = new S3Client({});
client.middlewareStack.add(recursionDetectionMiddleware, {
  step: 'initialize',
  name: 'recursionDetectionMiddleware',
  tags: ['RECURSION_DETECTION'],
});

// Now you can use the client with recursion detection enabled
client.send(new ListBucketsCommand({}));
