@trex-arms/sqs

Talk to the SQS API from node or browsers/Cloudflare Workers.

API

All the code is .mjs, so you'll probably need node 14+.

A single function is exported. Pass in your credentials, get back an object with a bunch of functions.

import make_sqs from '@trex-arms/sqs'

const sqs = make_sqs({
    access_key_id: process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
    secret_access_key: process.env.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY,
    region: 'us-west-1',
})

sqs.create_queue('roflcopter', {
    message_retention_period: 1209600,
}).then(queue_url => {
    console.log('the queue url is', queue_url)
})

All API functions return a promise.

Functions on the sqs object:

• create_queue(name, attributes = {})
  • returns queue url (string)
• get_queue_url(queue_name)
  • returns queue url (string)
• delete_queue(queue_url)
• send_message(queue_url, message, { delay_seconds, message_attribute = {} } = {})
  • message is converted to JSON via JSON.stringify(message)
  • returns { message_id, md5_of_body }
• send_message_batch(queue_url, messages)
  • returns an array of { message_id, md5_of_body }
• receive_message(queue_url, { max_number_of_messages, visibility_timeout, wait_time_seconds } = {})
  • message bodies are parsed via JSON.parse(message)
  • returns { body, message_id, md5_of_body, receipt_handle }
• delete_message(queue_url, receipt_handle)

Attribute objects are expected to have snake_case properties.

To run the tests

Paste your credentials into the strings at the top of the index.test.mjs file.
