README

AWS Connector

A wrapper around some aws-sdk components, adding a promised based interface.

The connector has two jobs:

  • Provide a promised based interface to some aws components.
  • Allow a base configuration to be set that is used as a base for each client that is created. This allows easy creation of clients which only differ in their authenciation details.

Other than this, the connector is completely transparent and simply mirrors the behaviour of the aws-sdk.

Usage for DynamoDB

var AWSConnector = require('aws-connector');

//Add a base configuration.
AWSConnector.dynamo.configure({ region: 'foo' });

//Make a request
AWSConnector.dynamo
    //Extend the base configuration with connection info.
    .connect({ accessKeyId: 'key', secretAccessKey: 'secret' })
    //Do your operation. It will return a promise.
    .scan({ TableName: 'books' })
    .then(function(books) {
        console.log(books)
    });

The options passed to dynamo.configure and dynamo.connect are passed directly to the aws-sdk DynamoDB client constructor.

Development

Style

We have an .editorconfig file to help us having a consistent coding style. Please install a plugin for your editor.

We use jshint for code linting. There are plugins for that too.

Tasks

We use gulp as a task runner. Install it globally first: npm install -g gulp. To see a list of gulp commands, run:

Git hooks

In the package.json you can see a pre-commit and pre-push hook. On commiting or pushing these commands are executed. If they fail, the commit/push will fail. Add the --no-verify flag to your commit or push to bypass these checks.
