## Description
Welcome to the Amazon Simple Queue Service API Reference.
Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) is a reliable, highly-scalable hosted queue for storing messages as they travel between applications or microservices. Amazon SQS moves data between distributed application components and helps you decouple these components.
You can use AWS SDKs to access Amazon SQS using your favorite programming language. The SDKs perform tasks such as the following automatically:
Additional Information
## Installing
To install the this package using NPM, simply type the following into a terminal window:
```
npm install @aws-sdk/client-sqs-browser
```
## Getting Started
### Import
The AWS SDK is modulized by clients and commands in CommonJS modules. To send a request, you only need to import the client(`SQSClient`) and the commands you need, for example `AddPermissionCommand`:
```javascript
//JavaScript
const { SQSClient } = require("@aws-sdk/client-sqs-browser/SQSClient");
const {
AddPermissionCommand
} = require("@aws-sdk/client-sqs-browser/commands/AddPermissionCommand");
```
```javascript
//TypeScript
import { SQSClient } from "@aws-sdk/client-sqs-browser/SQSClient";
import { AddPermissionCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-sqs-browser/commands/AddPermissionCommand";
```
### Usage
To send a request, you:
- Initiate client with configuration (e.g. credentials, region). For more information you can refer to the [API reference][].
- 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.
```javascript
const sQS = new SQSClient({region: 'region'});
//clients can be shared by different commands
const params = {
QueueUrl: /**a string value*/,
Label: /**a string value*/,
AWSAccountIds: [ /**a list of string*/ ],
Actions: [ /**a list of string*/ ],
};
const addPermissionCommand = new AddPermissionCommand(params);
sQS.send(addPermissionCommand).then(data => {
// do something
}).catch(error => {
// error handling
})
```
In addition to using promises, there are 2 other ways to send a request:
```javascript
// async/await
try {
const data = await sQS.send(addPermissionCommand);
// do something
} catch (error) {
// error handling
}
```
```javascript
// callback
sQS.send(addPermissionCommand, (err, data) => {
//do something
});
```
The SDK can also send requests using the simplified callback style from version 2 of the SDK.
```javascript
import * as AWS from "@aws-sdk/@aws-sdk/client-sqs-browser/SQS";
const sQS = new AWS.SQS({ region: "region" });
sQS.addPermission(params, (err, data) => {
//do something
});
```
### Troubleshooting
When the service returns an exception, the error will include the exception information, as well as response metadata (e.g. request id).
```javascript
try {
const data = await sQS.send(addPermissionCommand);
// do something
} catch (error) {
const metadata = error.$metadata;
console.log(
`requestId: ${metadata.requestId}
cfId: ${metadata.cfId}
extendedRequestId: ${metadata.extendedRequestId}`
);
/*
The keys within exceptions are also parsed. You can access them by specifying exception names:
if(error.name === 'SomeServiceException') {
const value = error.specialKeyInException;
}
*/
}
```
