I am trying to write an SES TypeScript client, using AWS definitions file downloaded from https://github.com/borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped/blob/master/aws-sdk/aws-sdk.d.ts
Here is what I've tried:
/// <reference path="../typings/aws-sdk.d.ts" /> var AWS = require('aws-sdk'); var ses:SES = new AWS.SES();
Here is the error that I get:
/usr/local/bin/tsc --sourcemap SesTest.ts SesTest.ts(3,9): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'SES'. Process finished with exit code 2
I cannot find any documentation on how to make this work. Please help!
The preferred way to install the AWS SDK for JavaScript for Node. js is to use npm, the Node. js package manager . To do so, type this at the command line.
TypeScript is a fully-supported client language for the AWS CDK and is considered stable. Working with the AWS CDK in TypeScript uses familiar tools, including Microsoft's TypeScript compiler ( tsc ), Node. js and the Node Package Manager ( npm ).
The Temporal TypeScript SDK lets you write highly scalable and reliable long-running Workflows without being a distributed systems expert. It is designed with TypeScript-first developer experience in mind, but works equally well with JavaScript.
I think a more appropriate way to do this is
import { <ServiceName> } from 'aws-sdk';
for instance
import { DynamoDB } from 'aws-sdk';
followed by
this.client = new DynamoDB();
in the class.
I say it is more appropriate because it uses TypeScript's import syntax.
Also, there's a clear explanation - by AWS - on how to use TS with AWS SDK here.
Change to :
import AWS = require('aws-sdk'); var ses:AWS.SES = new AWS.SES();
Note: if import
is unclear you probably want to read up on modules : https://basarat.gitbooks.io/typescript/content/docs/project/modules.html
TIP: always a good idea to see the test file for intended usage : https://github.com/borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped/blob/master/aws-sdk/aws-sdk-tests.ts
