public async Task<User> GetUserAsync(string userName)
{
var response = await _IAMService.GetUserAsync(new GetUserRequest { UserName = userName });
return response.User;
}

// UserWrapper encapsulates user actions used in the examples.
// It contains an IAM service client that is used to perform user actions.
type UserWrapper struct {
IamClient *iam.Client
}
// GetUser gets data about a user.
func (wrapper UserWrapper) GetUser(userName string) (*types.User, error) {
var user *types.User
result, err := wrapper.IamClient.GetUser(context.TODO(), &iam.GetUserInput{
UserName: aws.String(userName),
})
if err != nil {
var apiError smithy.APIError
if errors.As(err, &apiError) {
switch apiError.(type) {
case *types.NoSuchEntityException:
log.Printf("User %v does not exist.\n", userName)
err = nil
default:
log.Printf("Couldn't get user %v. Here's why: %v\n", userName, err)
}
}
} else {
user = result.User
}
return user, err
}
