I get type error while trying to call sqsClient with a configuration object.

[palashCItobuz]

I am trying to initialize the sqsClient

const sqs = new SQSClient({
  apiVersion: process.env.AWS_SQS_APIVERSION,
  credentials: {
    accessKeyId: process.env.AWS_ACCESSKEY,
    secretAccessKey: process.env.AWS_SECRETKEY,
  },
  region: process.env.AWS_S3_REGION
});

However, I get this type related problem while trying to initialize.

It shows the type accepts an array of configuration objects.

export class SQSClient extends __Client {
    constructor(...[configuration]) {

When I wrap the configuration object in an array, the error disappears.

Hi @palashCItobuz ,

The typescript compiler complains about those values being potentially undefined.

You can assert that they are not null by using an if block:

if (process.env.AWS_ACCESSKEY && process.env.AWS_SECRETKEY){
  const sqs = new SQSClient({
    apiVersion: process.env.AWS_SQS_APIVERSION,
    credentials: {
      accessKeyId: process.env.AWS_ACCESSKEY,
      secretAccessKey: process.env.AWS_SECRETKEY,
    },
    region: process.env.AWS_S3_REGION
  });
} else {
  throw new Error("SDK cannot be initialized with undefined credentials")
}

Or simplified by using the pound (!) operator to assert non-null:

const sqs = new SQSClient({
  apiVersion: process.env.AWS_SQS_APIVERSION,
  credentials: {
    accessKeyId: process.env.AWS_ACCESSKEY!,
    secretAccessKey: process.env.AWS_SECRETKEY!,
  },
  region: process.env.AWS_S3_REGION!
});

Let me know if this helps.
Thanks,

@RanVaknin It works. But how does it work when I pass the object wrapped up in an array without any conditional check?

new S3Client([{
  region: process.env.AWS_ACCESSKEY,
  credentials: {
    accessKeyId: process.env.AWS_ACCESSKEY,
    secretAccessKey: process.env.AWS_SECRETKEY,
  }
}]);
