@types/aws-sdk

What is @types/aws-sdk?

@types/aws-sdk provides TypeScript definitions for the AWS SDK for JavaScript, enabling developers to use AWS services with type safety and autocompletion in TypeScript projects.

What are @types/aws-sdk's main functionalities?

S3 Operations

This code demonstrates how to use the AWS SDK to interact with Amazon S3. It retrieves an object from an S3 bucket.

const AWS = require('aws-sdk');
const s3 = new AWS.S3();

const params = {
  Bucket: 'example-bucket',
  Key: 'example-object'
};

s3.getObject(params, (err, data) => {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack);
  else console.log(data);
});

DynamoDB Operations

This code demonstrates how to use the AWS SDK to interact with Amazon DynamoDB. It retrieves an item from a DynamoDB table.

const AWS = require('aws-sdk');
const dynamoDB = new AWS.DynamoDB.DocumentClient();

const params = {
  TableName: 'example-table',
  Key: {
    'example-key': 'example-value'
  }
};

dynamoDB.get(params, (err, data) => {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack);
  else console.log(data);
});

Lambda Function Invocation

This code demonstrates how to use the AWS SDK to invoke an AWS Lambda function. It sends a payload to the specified Lambda function.

const AWS = require('aws-sdk');
const lambda = new AWS.Lambda();

const params = {
  FunctionName: 'example-function',
  Payload: JSON.stringify({ key: 'value' })
};

lambda.invoke(params, (err, data) => {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack);
  else console.log(data);
});

Other packages similar to @types/aws-sdk

aws-sdk

The aws-sdk package is the official AWS SDK for JavaScript. It provides a comprehensive set of tools for interacting with AWS services. Unlike @types/aws-sdk, it includes the actual implementation of the SDK rather than just TypeScript definitions.

aws-amplify

AWS Amplify is a JavaScript library for frontend and mobile developers building cloud-enabled applications. It provides a higher-level abstraction over AWS services, making it easier to integrate with services like authentication, storage, and APIs. It is more opinionated and easier to use for specific use cases compared to the more general-purpose aws-sdk.

serverless

The Serverless Framework is a toolkit for deploying and operating serverless architectures. It abstracts away much of the complexity of working directly with AWS services, providing a simpler way to deploy and manage serverless applications. It is more focused on deployment and infrastructure management compared to the aws-sdk.

This is a stub types definition for @types/aws-sdk (https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js).

aws-sdk provides its own type definitions, so you don't need @types/aws-sdk installed!
