AWS SDK for Node.js Build Status

The official JavaScript implementation of the AWS SDK for Node.js.

Installing

The preferred way to install the AWS SDK for Node.js is to use the npm package manager for Node.js. Simply type the following into a terminal window:

npm install aws-sdk

Please Note: Installing the aws-sdk npm package on Windows may display errors while trying to install the optional dependency for libxmljs. This error can be safely ignored.

Usage

After you've installed the SDK, you can require the AWS package in your node application using require:

var AWS = require('aws-sdk');

Here is a quick example that makes some requests against Amazon S3 with the SDK:

// Load the AWS SDK for Node.js
var AWS = require('aws-sdk');

/**
 * Don't hard-code your credentials!
 * Load them from disk or your environment instead.
 */
// AWS.config.update({accessKeyId: 'AKID', secretAccessKey: 'SECRET'});

// Instead, do this:
AWS.config.loadFromPath('./path/to/credentials.json');

// Set your region for future requests.
AWS.config.update({region: 'us-east-1'});

// Create a bucket and put something in it.
var s3 = new AWS.S3();
s3.client.createBucket({Bucket: 'myBucket'}, function() {
  var data = {Bucket: 'myBucket', Key: 'myKey', Body: 'Hello!'};
  s3.client.putObject(data, function(err, data) {
    if (err) {
      console.log("Error uploading data: ", err);
    } else {
      console.log("Successfully uploaded data to myBucket/myKey");
    }
  });
});
