Description

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

This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide.

For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.

This is the AWS WAF Classic API Reference for using AWS WAF Classic with Amazon CloudFront. The AWS WAF Classic actions and data types listed in the reference are available for protecting Amazon CloudFront distributions. You can use these actions and data types via the endpoint waf.amazonaws.com. This guide is for developers who need detailed information about the AWS WAF Classic API actions, data types, and errors. For detailed information about AWS WAF Classic features and an overview of how to use the AWS WAF Classic API, see the AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide.

Installing

To install this package, use the CLI of your favorite package manager:

• npm install @aws-sdk/client-waf
• yarn add @aws-sdk/client-waf
• pnpm add @aws-sdk/client-waf

Getting Started

Import

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

// ES5 example
const { WAFClient, ListIPSetsCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-waf");

// ES6+ example
import { WAFClient, ListIPSetsCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-waf";

Usage

To send a request:

• Instantiate a client with configuration (e.g. credentials, region).
  • See docs/CLIENTS for configuration details.
  • See @aws-sdk/config for additional options.
• Instantiate a command with input parameters.
• Call the send operation on the client, providing the command object as input.

const client = new WAFClient({ region: "REGION" });

const params = { /** input parameters */ };
const command = new ListIPSetsCommand(params);

Async/await

We recommend using the 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.
}

Promises

You can also use Promise chaining.

client
  .send(command)
  .then((data) => {
    // process data.
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // error handling.
  })
  .finally(() => {
    // finally.
  });

Aggregated client

The aggregated client class is exported from the same package, but without the "Client" suffix.

WAF extends WAFClient and additionally supports all operations, waiters, and paginators as methods. This style may be familiar to you from the AWS SDK for JavaScript v2.

If you are bundling the AWS SDK, we recommend using only the bare-bones client (WAFClient). More details are in the blog post on modular packages in AWS SDK for JavaScript.

import { WAF } from "@aws-sdk/client-waf";

const client = new WAF({ region: "REGION" });

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

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

// callbacks (not recommended).
client.listIPSets(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;
   * }
   */
}
