AWS SQS Bulk Loader

A set of functions to help sending bulk messages in sequence or parallel to AWS SQS.

Migration steps from Version 3 to Version 4

• Add @aws-sdk/client-sqs as peer dependency instead of aws-sdk
• Rest of the code should work as it is. The response structure has changed slightly. More information can be found here

How to install

npm install sqs-bulk-loader

@aws-sdk/client-sqs is peer dependency for this package. Make sure it is installed.

To use aws-sdk version 2, please use version 3 of this package.

npm install sqs-bulk-loader@3

Running the tests

npm test

Getting started

Basic syntax is:

const {sendBatchedMessages, sendBatchedMessagesInParallel} = require("sqs-bulk-loader")();

const messages = [
  {
    "Id": "1",
    "MessageBody": '{"key1": "value1"}'
  },
  {
    "Id": "2",
    "MessageBody": '{"key2": "value2"}'
  }
];

// this needs to be in async function
const response = await sendBatchedMessages("someQueueUrl", messages);
console.log(response)

// OR you can use normal promise style as well.
sendBatchedMessages("someQueueUrl", messages)
  .then(response => console.log(response));

In case you need to inject the @aws-sdk/client-sqs with custom settings. It can be done like this

const {SQSClient} = require("@aws-sdk/client-sqs");
const sqsClient = new SQSClient({"region": "eu-west-2"});
const {sendBatchedMessages, sendBatchedMessagesInParallel} = require("sqs-bulk-loader")(sqsClient);
