Confidant Client (written for Node.JS)

This code was written to talk to Confidant.

The entire codebase was modeled after their python-client example.

How to use?

First, you can obtain it via npm install confidant-client

Next, setup your code like this (adjust yours to make yours fit):

    var confidant = require('confidant-client');

    confidant.config({
      aws_kms_region: 'us-west-2'
    })

    var config = {
      url: 'https://confidant-production.example.com',
      auth_key: '0123abcd-1234-5678-a123-123a123b123c',
      from_context: 'myservice-production',
      to_context: 'confidant-production',
      token_lifetime: 1
    };

    confidant.get_service(config)
    .then(function(resp){
      console.log(resp);
    }, function(err){
      console.log(err);
    })

• aws_kms_region (string): the region to be used by AWS KMS

Configuration object properties:
