aws-sdk-wrap

AWS SDK Wrap

Wrapper around aws-sdk.

Why

When dealing with the aws-sdk a lot, some calls become very repetitive and achieving code coverage becomes tiresome. This wrapper abstracts some of the repetitive logic.

Some examples of repetitive logic are:

• having to call .promise()
• handling of expected errors
• logging of unexpected errors

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save aws-sdk-wrap

Ensure required peer dependencies are available.

Usage

const aws = require('aws-sdk-wrap')();

aws
  .call('s3:putObject', { /* ... */ })
  .then(/* ... */)
  .catch(/* ... */);

where the first parameter is the service, the second parameter is the method and the third parameter are the "params" passed into the call.

Services are lazily initialized on first access.

One can access an aws-sdk service directly by calling e.g. aws.get('s3').

Methods

call(action: String, params: Object = {}, options: Object = {})

The action is of the format path.to.service:functionName.

Gets the service from the underlying aws-sdk and initialize it with the available config iff the service is not initialized yet. Then calls the function with the passed params (which needs to contain the appropriate parameters for the function).

The available call options are detailed below.

get(serviceName: String)

Get the service from the underlying aws-sdk without initializing it. Possible to access nested paths.

updateGlobalConfig(config: Object)

Updates the global aws config of the underlying aws-sdk via AWS.config.update. In most cases this should not be necessary to use.

Init Options

logger

Type: Logger
Default: null

Provide logger. E.g. logplease or lambda-rollbar.

When an unexpected error is risen, information is logged using .error(...).

config

Type: Object
Default: {}

AWS Config object used to initialize the service.

This only affects initialized services. To update the global AWS config use updateGlobalConfig.

Call Options

expectedErrorCodes

Type: list
Default: []

Provide string list of expected AWS error codes. Promise succeeds on expected error with error code as string.
