AWS SDK for JavaScript StorageGateway Client for Node.js, Browser and React Native.
Storage Gateway Service
Storage Gateway is the service that connects an on-premises software appliance with cloud-based storage to provide seamless and secure integration between an organization's on-premises IT environment and the Amazon Web Services storage infrastructure. The service enables you to securely upload data to the Amazon Web Services Cloud for cost effective backup and rapid disaster recovery.
Use the following links to get started using the Storage Gateway Service API Reference:
-
Storage Gateway required request headers: Describes the required headers that you must send with every POST request to Storage Gateway.
-
Signing requests: Storage Gateway requires that you authenticate every request you send; this topic describes how sign such a request.
-
Error responses: Provides reference information about Storage Gateway errors.
-
Operations in Storage Gateway: Contains detailed descriptions of all Storage Gateway operations, their request parameters, response elements, possible errors, and examples of requests and responses.
-
Storage Gateway endpoints and quotas: Provides a list of each Amazon Web Services Region and the endpoints available for use with Storage Gateway.
Storage Gateway resource IDs are in uppercase. When you use these resource IDs
with the Amazon EC2 API, EC2 expects resource IDs in lowercase. You must change
your resource ID to lowercase to use it with the EC2 API. For example, in Storage
Gateway the ID for a volume might be vol-AA22BB012345DAF670. When you use
this ID with the EC2 API, you must change it to vol-aa22bb012345daf670.
Otherwise, the EC2 API might not behave as expected.
IDs for Storage Gateway volumes and Amazon EBS snapshots created from gateway volumes are changing to a longer format. Starting in December 2016, all new volumes and snapshots will be created with a 17-character string. Starting in April 2016, you will be able to use these longer IDs so you can test your systems with the new format. For more information, see Longer EC2 and EBS resource IDs.
For example, a volume Amazon Resource Name (ARN) with the longer volume ID format looks like the following:
arn:aws:storagegateway:us-west-2:111122223333:gateway/sgw-12A3456B/volume/vol-1122AABBCCDDEEFFG.
A snapshot ID with the longer ID format looks like the following:
snap-78e226633445566ee.
For more information, see Announcement: Heads-up – Longer Storage Gateway volume and snapshot IDs coming in 2016.
To install the this package, simply type add or install @aws-sdk/client-storage-gateway using your favorite package manager:
npm install @aws-sdk/client-storage-gatewayyarn add @aws-sdk/client-storage-gatewaypnpm add @aws-sdk/client-storage-gateway
The AWS SDK is modulized by clients and commands.
To send a request, you only need to import the StorageGatewayClient and
the commands you need, for example ListTapesCommand:
// ES5 example
const { StorageGatewayClient, ListTapesCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-storage-gateway");// ES6+ example
import { StorageGatewayClient, ListTapesCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-storage-gateway";To send a request, you:
- Initiate client with configuration (e.g. credentials, region).
- Initiate command with input parameters.
- Call
sendoperation 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 StorageGatewayClient({ region: "REGION" });
const params = {
/** input parameters */
};
const command = new ListTapesCommand(params);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.
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.
});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.
});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-storage-gateway";
const client = new AWS.StorageGateway({ region: "REGION" });
// async/await.
try {
const data = await client.listTapes(params);
// process data.
} catch (error) {
// error handling.
}
// Promises.
client
.listTapes(params)
.then((data) => {
// process data.
})
.catch((error) => {
// error handling.
});
// callbacks.
client.listTapes(params, (err, data) => {
// process err and data.
});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;
* }
