@aws-sdk/client-iam
Description
AWS SDK for JavaScript IAM Client for Node.js, Browser and React Native.
Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a web service for securely controlling access to Amazon Web Services services. With IAM, you can centrally manage users, security credentials such as access keys, and permissions that control which Amazon Web Services resources users and applications can access. For more information about IAM, see Identity and Access Management (IAM) and the Identity and Access Management User Guide.
Installing
To install this package, simply type add or install @aws-sdk/client-iam using your favorite package manager:
npm install @aws-sdk/client-iamyarn add @aws-sdk/client-iampnpm add @aws-sdk/client-iam
Getting Started
Import
The AWS SDK is modulized by clients and commands.
To send a request, you only need to import the IAMClient and
the commands you need, for example ListGroupsCommand:
1// ES5 example 2const { IAMClient, ListGroupsCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-iam");
1// ES6+ example 2import { IAMClient, ListGroupsCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-iam";
Usage
To send a request, you:
- Initiate client with configuration (e.g. credentials, region).
- Initiate command with input parameters.
- Call
sendoperation on client with command object as input. - If you are using a custom http handler, you may call
destroy()to close open connections.
1// a client can be shared by different commands. 2const client = new IAMClient({ region: "REGION" }); 3 4const params = { 5 /** input parameters */ 6}; 7const command = new ListGroupsCommand(params);
Async/await
We recommend using await operator to wait for the promise returned by send operation as follows:
1// async/await. 2try { 3 const data = await client.send(command); 4 // process data. 5} catch (error) { 6 // error handling. 7} finally { 8 // finally. 9}
Async-await is clean, concise, intuitive, easy to debug and has better error handling as compared to using Promise chains or callbacks.
Promises
You can also use Promise chaining to execute send operation.
1client.send(command).then( 2 (data) => { 3 // process data. 4 }, 5 (error) => { 6 // error handling. 7 } 8);
Promises can also be called using .catch() and .finally() as follows:
1client 2 .send(command) 3 .then((data) => { 4 // process data. 5 }) 6 .catch((error) => { 7 // error handling. 8 }) 9 .finally(() => { 10 // finally. 11 });
Callbacks
We do not recommend using callbacks because of callback hell, but they are supported by the send operation.
1// callbacks. 2client.send(command, (err, data) => { 3 // process err and data. 4});
v2 compatible style
The client can also send requests using v2 compatible style. However, it results in a bigger bundle size and may be dropped in next major version. More details in the blog post on modular packages in AWS SDK for JavaScript
1import * as AWS from "@aws-sdk/client-iam"; 2const client = new AWS.IAM({ region: "REGION" }); 3 4// async/await. 5try { 6 const data = await client.listGroups(params); 7 // process data. 8} catch (error) { 9 // error handling. 10} 11 12// Promises. 13client 14 .listGroups(params) 15 .then((data) => { 16 // process data. 17 }) 18 .catch((error) => { 19 // error handling. 20 }); 21 22// callbacks. 23client.listGroups(params, (err, data) => { 24 // process err and data. 25});
Troubleshooting
When the service returns an exception, the error will include the exception information, as well as response metadata (e.g. request id).
1try { 2 const data = await client.send(command); 3 // process data. 4} catch (error) { 5 const { requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId } = error.$metadata; 6 console.log({ requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId }); 7 /** 8 * The keys within exceptions are also parsed. 9 * You can access them by specifying exception names: 10 * if (error.name === 'SomeServiceException') { 11 * const value = error.specialKeyInException; 12 * } 13 */ 14}
