Usage

There are two ways to use this library.

1. Node.js

As a node module, you can simply require the package. Passing the process global object allows the program to load AWS_REGION and AWS_BUCKET from your configured environment variables.

Configure your environment variables

export AWS_REGION=eu-west-1
export AWS_BUCKET=tc2-waterlevels.sync

Use require or import to obtain and configure your client object

(require)

var client = require( "waterlevels.client" )( process );

await client.listProviders(); // => [ "waterlevel.ie" ];

(ES6)

import clientFactory from "waterlevels.client";
const client = clientFactory( process );

await client.listProviders(); // => [ "waterlevel.ie" ];

2. Browser

In the browser you need to pass the configuration details by hand as shown below

(ES6 e.g. webpack)

import clientFactory from "waterlevels.client";
const config = { env: { AWS_REGION: "eu-west-1", AWS_BUCKET: "tc2-waterlevels.sync" } };
const client = clientFactory( config );

await client.listProviders(); // => [ "waterlevel.ie" ]
