Description

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

This is the Amazon Q Business API Reference. Amazon Q Business is a fully managed, generative-AI powered enterprise chat assistant that you can deploy within your organization. Amazon Q Business enhances employee productivity by supporting key tasks such as question-answering, knowledge discovery, writing email messages, summarizing text, drafting document outlines, and brainstorming ideas. Users ask questions of Amazon Q Business and get answers that are presented in a conversational manner. For an introduction to the service, see the Amazon Q Business User Guide .

For an overview of the Amazon Q Business APIs, see Overview of Amazon Q Business API operations.

For information about the IAM access control permissions you need to use this API, see IAM roles for Amazon Q Business in the Amazon Q Business User Guide.

The following resources provide additional information about using the Amazon Q Business API:

Installing

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

npm install @aws-sdk/client-qbusiness
yarn add @aws-sdk/client-qbusiness
pnpm add @aws-sdk/client-qbusiness

Getting Started

Import

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

// ES5 example
const { QBusinessClient, ListApplicationsCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-qbusiness");

// ES6+ example
import { QBusinessClient, ListApplicationsCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-qbusiness";

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 QBusinessClient({ region: "REGION" });

const params = {
  /** input parameters */
};
const command = new ListApplicationsCommand(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-qbusiness";
const client = new AWS.QBusiness({ region: "REGION" });

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

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

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