AWS SDK for JavaScript Textract Client for Node.js, Browser and React Native
npm install @aws-sdk/client-textractAWS SDK for JavaScript Textract Client for Node.js, Browser and React Native.
Amazon Textract detects and analyzes text in documents and converts it
into machine-readable text. This is the API reference documentation for
Amazon Textract.
npm install @aws-sdk/client-textractyarn add @aws-sdk/client-textractpnpm add @aws-sdk/client-textractThe AWS SDK is modulized by clients and commands.
To send a request, you only need to import the TextractClient and
the commands you need, for example ListAdaptersCommand:
``js`
// ES5 example
const { TextractClient, ListAdaptersCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-textract");
`ts`
// ES6+ example
import { TextractClient, ListAdaptersCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-textract";
To send a request, you:
- Initiate client with configuration (e.g. credentials, region).
- Initiate command with input parameters.
- Call send operation on client with command object as input.destroy()
- If you are using a custom http handler, you may call to close open connections.
`js
// a client can be shared by different commands.
const client = new TextractClient({ region: "REGION" });
const params = { /* input parameters / };
const command = new ListAdaptersCommand(params);
`
#### Async/await
We recommend using await
operator to wait for the promise returned by send operation as follows:
`js`
// async/await.
try {
const data = await client.send(command);
// process data.
} catch (error) {
// error handling.
} finally {
// finally.
}
Async-await is clean, concise, intuitive, easy to debug and has better error handling
as compared to using Promise chains or callbacks.
#### Promises
You can also use Promise chaining
to execute send operation.
`js`
client.send(command).then(
(data) => {
// process data.
},
(error) => {
// error handling.
}
);
Promises can also be called using .catch() and .finally() as follows:
`js`
client
.send(command)
.then((data) => {
// process data.
})
.catch((error) => {
// error handling.
})
.finally(() => {
// finally.
});
#### Callbacks
We do not recommend using callbacks because of callback hell,
but they are supported by the send operation.
`js`
// callbacks.
client.send(command, (err, data) => {
// process err and data.
});
#### v2 compatible style
The client can also send requests using v2 compatible style.
However, it results in a bigger bundle size and may be dropped in next major version. More details in the blog post
on modular packages in AWS SDK for JavaScript
`ts
import * as AWS from "@aws-sdk/client-textract";
const client = new AWS.Textract({ region: "REGION" });
// async/await.
try {
const data = await client.listAdapters(params);
// process data.
} catch (error) {
// error handling.
}
// Promises.
client
.listAdapters(params)
.then((data) => {
// process data.
})
.catch((error) => {
// error handling.
});
// callbacks.
client.listAdapters(params, (err, data) => {
// process err and data.
});
`
When the service returns an exception, the error will include the exception information,
as well as response metadata (e.g. request id).
`js`
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;
* }
*/
}
