Signs and prepares requests using AWS Signature Version 4 in React Native Apps
NOTE: This package is a fork of https://github.com/mhart/aws4, modified to work with React Native apps. The core Node JS module querystring has been replaced by querystring-browser, and crypto has been replaced by a standalone javascript file crypto.js generated using browserify. There are no other code changes.
What follows is the a slighly modified README from aws4.
A small utility to sign React Native HTTP(S) requests using Amazon's AWS Signature Version 4.
This signature is supported by nearly all Amazon services, including S3, EC2, DynamoDB, Kinesis, Lambda, SQS, SNS, IAM, STS, RDS, CloudWatch, CloudWatch Logs, CodeDeploy, CloudFront, CloudTrail, ElastiCache, EMR, Glacier, CloudSearch, Elastic Load Balancing, Elastic Transcoder, CloudFormation, Elastic Beanstalk, Storage Gateway, Data Pipeline, Direct Connect, Redshift, OpsWorks, SES, SWF, AutoScaling, Mobile Analytics, Cognito Identity, Cognito Sync, Container Service, AppStream, Key Management Service, Config, CloudHSM, Route53 and Route53 Domains.
Indeed, the only AWS services that don't support v4 as of 2014-12-30 are Import/Export and SimpleDB (they only support AWS Signature Version 2).
It also provides defaults for a number of core AWS headers and request parameters, making it very easy to query AWS services, or build out a fully-featured AWS library.
var aws4 = require('aws4-react-native')
// given an options object you could pass to http.request
var opts = {host: 'sqs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com', path: '/?Action=ListQueues'}
// alternatively (as aws4 can infer the host):
opts = {service: 'sqs', region: 'us-east-1', path: '/?Action=ListQueues'}
// alternatively (as us-east-1 is default):
opts = {service: 'sqs', path: '/?Action=ListQueues'}
aws4.sign(opts) // assumes AWS credentials are available in process.env
console.log(opts)
/*
{
host: 'sqs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com',
path: '/?Action=ListQueues',
headers: {
Host: 'sqs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com',
'X-Amz-Date': '20121226T061030Z',
Authorization: 'AWS4-HMAC-SHA256 Credential=ABCDEF/20121226/us-east-1/sqs/aws4_request, ...'
}
}
*/
// we can now use this to query AWS using the standard React Native API
var url = "https://" + signedOptions.host + signedOptions.path;
fetch(url, signedOptions)
.then(body => body.json())
.then(json => console.log(json));
// The above code is equivalent to the following Node JS request:
// http.request(opts, function(res) { res.pipe(process.stdout) }).end()

// create a utility function to print the output to console
function request(signedOptions) {

This calculates and populates the Authorization header of
requestOptions, and any other necessary AWS headers and/or request
options. Returns requestOptions as a convenience for chaining.
requestOptions is an object holding the same options that the node.js
http.request
function takes.
The following properties of requestOptions are used in the signing or
populated if they don't already exist:
hostname or host (will be determined from service and region if not given)method (will use 'GET' if not given or 'POST' if there is a body)path (will use '/' if not given)body (will use '' if not given)service (will be calculated from hostname or host if not given)region (will be calculated from hostname or host or use 'us-east-1' if not given)headers['Host'] (will use hostname or host or be calculated if not given)headers['Content-Type'] (will use 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8'
if not given and there is a body)headers['Date'] (used to calculate the signature date if given, otherwise new Date is used)Your AWS credentials (which can be found in your AWS console) can be specified in one of two ways:
aws4.sign(requestOptions, {
secretAccessKey: "<your-secret-access-key>",
accessKeyId: "<your-access-key-id>",
sessionToken: "<your-session-token>"
})
process.env, such as this:export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="<your-secret-access-key>"
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="<your-access-key-id>"
export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN="<your-session-token>"
(will also use AWS_ACCESS_KEY and AWS_SECRET_KEY if available)
The sessionToken property and AWS_SESSION_TOKEN environment variable are optional for signing
with IAM STS temporary credentials.
With npm do:
npm install aws4-react-native
Thanks to @jed for his dynamo-client lib where I first committed and subsequently extracted this code.
Also thanks to the official node.js AWS SDK for giving me a start on implementing the v4 signature.
