@aws-sdk/client-iot-wireless

Description

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

AWS IoT Wireless provides bi-directional communication between internet-connected wireless devices and the AWS Cloud. To onboard both LoRaWAN and Sidewalk devices to AWS IoT, use the IoT Wireless API. These wireless devices use the Low Power Wide Area Networking (LPWAN) communication protocol to communicate with AWS IoT.

Using the API, you can perform create, read, update, and delete operations for your wireless devices, gateways, destinations, and profiles. After onboarding your devices, you can use the API operations to set log levels and monitor your devices with CloudWatch.

You can also use the API operations to create multicast groups and schedule a multicast session for sending a downlink message to devices in the group. By using Firmware Updates Over-The-Air (FUOTA) API operations, you can create a FUOTA task and schedule a session to update the firmware of individual devices or an entire group of devices in a multicast group.

Installing

To install the this package, simply type add or install @aws-sdk/client-iot-wireless using your favorite package manager:

npm install @aws-sdk/client-iot-wireless
yarn add @aws-sdk/client-iot-wireless
pnpm add @aws-sdk/client-iot-wireless

Getting Started

Import

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

// ES5 example
const { IoTWirelessClient, AssociateAwsAccountWithPartnerAccountCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-iot-wireless");

// ES6+ example
import { IoTWirelessClient, AssociateAwsAccountWithPartnerAccountCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-iot-wireless";

Usage

To send a request, you:

Initiate client with configuration (e.g. credentials, region).
Initiate command with input parameters.
Call send operation on client with command object as input.
If you are using a custom http handler, you may call destroy() to close open connections.

// a client can be shared by different commands.
const client = new IoTWirelessClient({ region: "REGION" });

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

Async/await

We recommend using 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.
}

Async-await is clean, concise, intuitive, easy to debug and has better error handling as compared to using Promise chains or callbacks.

Promises

You can also use Promise chaining to execute send operation.

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

Promises can also be called using .catch() and .finally() as follows:

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

Callbacks

We do not recommend using callbacks because of callback hell, but they are supported by the send operation.

// callbacks.
client.send(command, (err, data) => {
  // process err and data.
});

v2 compatible style

The client can also send requests using v2 compatible style. However, it results in a bigger bundle size and may be dropped in next major version. More details in the blog post on modular packages in AWS SDK for JavaScript

import * as AWS from "@aws-sdk/client-iot-wireless";
const client = new AWS.IoTWireless({ region: "REGION" });

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

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

// callbacks.
client.associateAwsAccountWithPartnerAccount(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;
   * }
   */
}
