npm install

Node arguments example

node index.js [UserPoolId] [UserPoolClientId] [Username] [Password]

node index.js ap-southeast-2_XXXXXXX 2bb2344vcfldtha3qh0mj75 test@test.com passwordpassword

.env example

• Rename .env.example to .env
• Replace content with the values of your cognito user pool.

Sample content:

UserPoolId=ap-southeast-2_XXXXXXX
UserPoolClientId=2bb2344vcfldtha3qh0mj75
Username=test@test.com
Password=passwordpassword
