Create the client in a separate module and export it.

import { SNSClient } from "@aws-sdk/client-sns"; // Set the AWS Region. const REGION = "REGION"; //e.g. "us-east-1" // Create SNS service object. const snsClient = new SNSClient({ region: REGION }); export { snsClient };

Import the SDK and client modules and call the API.

// Import required AWS SDK clients and commands for Node.js import {CreateTopicCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-sns"; import {snsClient } from "./libs/snsClient.js"; // Set the parameters const params = { Name: "TOPIC_NAME" }; //TOPIC_NAME const run = async () => { try { const data = await snsClient.send(new CreateTopicCommand(params)); console.log("Success.", data); return data; // For unit tests. } catch (err) { console.log("Error", err.stack); } }; run();
