Generated OCaml bindings for Amazon Web Services
ocaml-aws
ocaml-aws is an Amazon Web Services SDK for OCaml. Its source distribution includes a core runtime API and a code generation tool that generates individual libraries from botocore service descriptions.
Development
You can install the core library and its dependencies by pinning:
opam pin add aws .
After pinning, you can install to the latest development version by checking out the commit and running:
opam update aws
Running individual test suites for a Service
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=???? \
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=???? \
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=ap-southeast-2 \
dune runtest libraries/ec2/lib_test
Code Generation
To generate service libaries during development and in preparation for release,
first configure the build to enable code generation and run the gen
target of
the Makefile. Note that the code generation tool has its own set of
dependencies that must be installed in order for the build to succeed.
In addition, the Makefile is written for GNU make.
Some platforms such as OS X and FreeBSD do not have a GNU-compatible make
installed by default. If you get strage error messages at this stage of the
build, check your make. The following commands will configure the build for
code generation and regenerate the libraries from the current definitions:
# Compile code generator
make gen
# Compile generated libraries
make
Release
To generate a release to opam requires dune-release
to be installed, then run:
make opam-release
Example
Here's how you use the library and EC2 bindings to retrieve a list of regions
from AWS and print them to stdout
. This example uses the Async runtime, but
the equivalent lwt example is identical in structure.
open Core
open Async
open Aws_ec2
let to_result = function
| `Ok x -> Ok x
| `Error e -> Error (Aws.Error.format Errors.to_string e)
let main () =
Aws_async.Runtime.run_request
~region:"us-east-1" ~access_key:"<...>" ~secret_key:"<...>"
(module DescribeRegions)
(Types.DescribeRegionsRequest.make ())
>>| to_result
>>| Option.value_exn
>>|? List.iter ~f:(fun x -> Log.Global.info "%s" x.Types.Region.region_name)
>>> function
| Ok () -> exit 0
| Error e -> Log.Global.error "%s" e; exit 1
Scheduler.go_main ~main ()
DEBUGGING
If you get this error when running test or example code
Fatal error: exception (Failure "No SSL or TLS support compiled into Conduit")
You need to install the ssl versions of your chosen async framework
opam install lwt_ssl async_ssl
