AWS SDK for Node.js starter

NodeJS starter kit to write AWS scripts using the AWS SDK for Node.js

Requirements

The only requirement of this application is the Node Package Manager. All other dependencies (including the AWS SDK for Node.js) can be installed with:

npm install

Basic Configuration

You need to set up your AWS security credentials before the code is able to connect to AWS. You can do this by creating a file named "credentials" at ~/.aws/ (C:\Users\USER_NAME.aws\ for Windows users) and saving the following lines in the file:

[default]
aws_access_key_id = <your access key id>
aws_secret_access_key = <your secret key>

See the Security Credentials page. It's also possible to configure your credentials via a configuration file or directly in source. See the AWS SDK for Node.js Developer Guide for more information.

Config file

You can write your environment variables on the .env file, which will later be loaded by dotenv library to be available as process.env variables
