CLI
Amazon CLI

To delete an SNS topic

The following delete-topic example deletes the specified SNS topic.

aws sns delete-topic \ --topic-arn "arn:aws:sns:us-west-2:123456789012:my-topic"

This command produces no output.

Create the client in a separate module and export it.

import { SNSClient } from "@aws-sdk/client-sns"; // The AWS Region can be provided here using the `region` property. If you leave it blank // the SDK will default to the region set in your AWS config. export const snsClient = new SNSClient({});

Import the SDK and client modules and call the API.
