Hack for adding the .promise() method to all aws-sdk request objects (aws-sdk is a peerDependency)
Hack for adding the .promise() method to all aws-sdk request objects (aws-sdk is a peerDependency).
Take a look at the source the short version its a terrible hack into the AWS.Request object (which aws-sdk returns from just about all api calls).
// AWS is identical to aws-sdk but it has .promise method on all
// requests
var AWS = require('aws-sdk-promise');
var ec2 = new AWS.EC2({ region: 'us-west-2' });
ec2.describeAccountAttributes({}).promise().then(
function(req) {
// the promise is resolved on the 'complete' event of request object
console.log(JSON.stringify(req.data, null, 2));
},
function(error) {
// rejected if the 'complete' event contains an error
console.log(error);
}
);
