@aws-sdk/client-snowball

Description

AWS SDK for JavaScript Snowball Client for Node.js, Browser and React Native.

<p>The Amazon Web Services Snow Family provides a petabyte-scale data transport solution that uses secure devices to transfer large amounts of data between your on-premises data centers and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). The Snow Family commands described here provide access to the same functionality that is available in the Amazon Web Services Snow Family Management Console, which enables you to create and manage jobs for a Snow Family device. To transfer data locally with a Snow Family device, you'll need to use the Snowball Edge client or the Amazon S3 API Interface for Snowball or OpsHub for Snow Family. For more information, see the <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSImportExport/latest/ug/api-reference.html">User Guide</a>.</p>

Installing

To install this package, use the CLI of your favorite package manager:

npm install @aws-sdk/client-snowball
yarn add @aws-sdk/client-snowball
pnpm add @aws-sdk/client-snowball

Getting Started

Import

The AWS SDK is modulized by clients and commands. To send a request, you only need to import the SnowballClient and the commands you need, for example ListJobsCommand:

// ES5 example
const { SnowballClient, ListJobsCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-snowball");

// ES6+ example
import { SnowballClient, ListJobsCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-snowball";

Usage

To send a request:

Instantiate a client with configuration (e.g. credentials, region).
- See docs/CLIENTS for configuration details.
- See @aws-sdk/config for additional options.
Instantiate a command with input parameters.
Call the send operation on the client, providing the command object as input.

const client = new SnowballClient({ region: "REGION" });

const params = { /** input parameters */ };
const command = new ListJobsCommand(params);

Supported Message Protocols

This client supports multiple protocols.

The default for this client is AWS JSON (RPC) 1.1.

We have selected this default based on our evaluation of the performance characteristics of this protocol format in JavaScript. You don't need to change it, but you have the option to do so, for example to support existing integrations or tests. Selecting a non-default protocol changes the format of the data sent over the network, but does not affect how you interact with the client using JavaScript objects.

Install the @aws-sdk/config package to access alternate protocols.

See AWS Protocols for more information.

AWS JSON (RPC) 1.1

This protocol uses JSON payloads.

import { AwsJson1_1Protocol } from "@aws-sdk/config/protocol";

const client = new SnowballClient({
  protocol: AwsJson1_1Protocol
});

Smithy RPC v2 CBOR

This protocol uses CBOR payloads.

import { AwsSmithyRpcV2CborProtocol } from "@aws-sdk/config/protocol";

const client = new SnowballClient({
  protocol: AwsSmithyRpcV2CborProtocol
});

Async/await

We recommend using the await operator to wait for the promise returned by send operation as follows:

// async/await.
try {
  const data = await client.send(command);
  // process data.
} catch (error) {
  // error handling.
} finally {
  // finally.
}

Promises

You can also use Promise chaining.

client
  .send(command)
  .then((data) => {
    // process data.
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // error handling.
  })
  .finally(() => {
    // finally.
  });

Aggregated client

The aggregated client class is exported from the same package, but without the "Client" suffix.

Snowball extends SnowballClient and additionally supports all operations, waiters, and paginators as methods. This style may be familiar to you from the AWS SDK for JavaScript v2.

If you are bundling the AWS SDK, we recommend using only the bare-bones client (SnowballClient). More details are in the blog post on modular packages in AWS SDK for JavaScript.

import { Snowball } from "@aws-sdk/client-snowball";

const client = new Snowball({ region: "REGION" });

// async/await.
try {
  const data = await client.listJobs(params);
  // process data.
} catch (error) {
  // error handling.
}

// Promises.
client
  .listJobs(params)
  .then((data) => {
    // process data.
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // error handling.
  });

// callbacks (not recommended).
client.listJobs(params, (err, data) => {
  // process err and data.
});

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 client.send(command);
  // process data.
} catch (error) {
  const { requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId } = error.$metadata;
  console.log({ requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId });
  /**
   * The keys within exceptions are also parsed.
   * You can access them by specifying exception names:
   * if (error.name === 'SomeServiceException') {
   *     const value = error.specialKeyInException;
   * }
   */
}
