aws-iam-data

This repository provides AWS IAM data gathered from the official AWS IAM docs as a convenient npm package (aws-iam-data), that can be used in other OSS projects.

The package also includes the TypeScript interface definitions.

Usage

You can install aws-iam-data as a dependecy to your Node/TypeScript project via

npm i --save aws-iam-data

To use it in your own projects, see examples/index.js or the code below:

const { iamData, metadata } = require('aws-iam-data');

// Get overall service count
console.log(`Contains ${metadata.serviceCount} services!`);

// Get EC2 data
const ec2IamData = iamData.filter(service => service.name === 'Amazon EC2')[0];

// Get actions and their access level
const ec2Actions = ec2IamData.actions.map(action => ({ name: action.name, accessLevel: action.accessLevel }));
console.log(JSON.stringify(ec2Actions, null, 2));

// Get EC2 resource types
const ec2ResourceTypes = ec2IamData.resourceTypes.map(action => ({ name: action.name, arnPattern: action.arnPattern }));
console.log(JSON.stringify(ec2ResourceTypes, null, 2));

Automatic updates

The CI pipeline will check for AWS IAM docs updates everyday at 4AM, and automatically publish a new patch version if updates are detected.
