How to use?

Chainable methods

This module permits some methods to be chainable to use in the next way:

const { awsAccounts } = require('aws-accounts');

// Add profile and save on one line
awsAccounts.addProfile(options).saveFile();

insetad of

const { awsAccounts } = require('aws-accounts');

// Add profile
awsAccounts.addProfile(options)

// Save changes
awsAccounts.saveFile();

Allowed methods

Method
addProfile
editProfile
deleteProfile
switchProfile
importCredentials

Load profiles from an existing file

const { awsAccounts } = require('aws-accounts');

awsAccounts.deserializeCredentials('./path/to/the/file');

Note: By the fault the package load the profiles from the default file see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-javascript/v2/developer-guide/loading-node-credentials-shared.html

Get profiles serialized

Note: By default the profiles are serialized as a JSON/OBJECT

As a JSON

const { awsAccouts } = require('aws-accounts');

awsAccouts.getCredentials('JSON');

As a Text

const { awsAccouts } = require('aws-accounts');

awsAccouts.serializeCredentials('TEXT');

Add a new profile

const { awsAccounts } = require('aws-accounts');

awsAccounts.addProfile(options);

see Accepted Options

Edit a existing profile

const { awsAccounts } = require('aws-accounts');

awsAccounts.editProfile('PROFILE-NAME', options);

see Accepted Options

Switch to an existing profile

const { awsAccounts } = require('aws-accounts');

awsAccounts.switchProfile('NAME');

Remove a profile

const { awsAccounts } = require('aws-accounts');

awsAccounts.deleteProfile('NAME');

Save the current profiles to the aws file

const { awsAccounts } = require('aws-accounts');

awsAccounts.saveFile();

NOTE: Be careful with this action, the method overwrite the default AWS profiles file with the loaded profiles.

Import JSON profile file

const { awsAccounts } = require('aws-accounts');

awsAccounts.importCredentials('./path/to/the/file.json');

NOTE: The JSON file to import needs to satisfy the package serialization

Export JSON profile file

const { awsAccounts } = require('aws-accounts');

awsAccounts.exportCredentials('./path/to/the/location/');
