@aws-sdk/client-cloudfront-node

Description

Amazon CloudFront

This is the Amazon CloudFront API Reference. This guide is for developers who need detailed information about CloudFront API actions, data types, and errors. For detailed information about CloudFront features, see the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide.

Installing

To install the this package using NPM, simply type the following into a terminal window:

npm install @aws-sdk/client-cloudfront-node

Getting Started

Import

The AWS SDK is modulized by clients and commands in CommonJS modules. To send a request, you only need to import the client(CloudFrontClient) and the commands you need, for example CreateCloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityCommand:

//JavaScript
const {
  CloudFrontClient
} = require("@aws-sdk/client-cloudfront-node/CloudFrontClient");
const {
  CreateCloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityCommand
} = require("@aws-sdk/client-cloudfront-node/commands/CreateCloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityCommand");

//TypeScript
import { CloudFrontClient } from "@aws-sdk/client-cloudfront-node/CloudFrontClient";
import { CreateCloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-cloudfront-node/commands/CreateCloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityCommand";

Usage

To send a request, you:

Initiate client with configuration (e.g. credentials, region). For more information you can refer to the API reference.
Initiate command with input parameters.
Call send operation on client with command object as input.
If you are using a custom http handler, you may call destroy() to close open connections.

const cloudFront = new CloudFrontClient({ region: "region" });
//clients can be shared by different commands
const params = {
  CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityConfig: {
    /**an object specifying CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityConfig*/
  }
};
const createCloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityCommand = new CreateCloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityCommand(
  params
);
cloudFront
  .send(createCloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityCommand)
  .then(data => {
    // do something
  })
  .catch(error => {
    // error handling
  });

In addition to using promises, there are 2 other ways to send a request:

// async/await
try {
  const data = await cloudFront.send(
    createCloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityCommand
  );
  // do something
} catch (error) {
  // error handling
}

// callback
cloudFront.send(createCloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityCommand, (err, data) => {
  //do something
});

The SDK can also send requests using the simplified callback style from version 2 of the SDK.

import * as AWS from "@aws-sdk/@aws-sdk/client-cloudfront-node/CloudFront";
const cloudFront = new AWS.CloudFront({ region: "region" });
cloudFront.createCloudFrontOriginAccessIdentity(params, (err, data) => {
  //do something
});

Troubleshooting

When the service returns an exception, the error will include the exception information, as well as response metadata (e.g. request id).

try {
  const data = await cloudFront.send(
    createCloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityCommand
  );
  // do something
} catch (error) {
  const metadata = error.$metadata;
  console.log(
    `requestId: ${metadata.requestId}
cfId: ${metadata.cfId}
extendedRequestId: ${metadata.extendedRequestId}`
  );
  /*
The keys within exceptions are also parsed. You can access them by specifying exception names:
    if(error.name === 'SomeServiceException') {
        const value = error.specialKeyInException;
    }
*/
}
