SQSLogger

Usage

Setting AWS Credentials

You can use the same authentication methods of AWS NodeJS SDK

I certainly recommend to use Credentials from Environment Variables for QA and Staging enviroments and the SDK profiles for local development.

The environment credentials are AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and process.env.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

Furthermore, you can load a config file using the config loadFromPath function for Production environments:

AWS.config.loadFromPath('./config.json')
````

Even though, if you want to hardcode your credentials (Not recommended at all) you can set them using the config update function:

````AWS.config.update({accessKeyId: 'akid', secretAccessKey: 'secret'});````

Create the SQSLogger instance
````
var SQSLogger = require('SQSLogger');
````

Put your Queue URL in the QueueUrl option and pass it to the constructor
````
var logger = new SQSLogger({QueueUrl: 'https://sqs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/00000000000/test'});
````

### Events

Use the **sent** event to receive a response when the log was queued
````
logger.on('sent',function(data){
  dataIsTheAWSResponse(data);  
});

````
Use the **error** event if you want to catch AWS errors
````
logger.on('error',function(err){
  console.error(err);
});
````

### Send messages

Send a **message**
````
logger.sendMessage('Amazing Message');
````

### Callback

You can use a **callback** too
````
logger.sendMessage('Mocha Test',function callback(data){
  dataIsTheAWSResponse(data);
});
````
