Classes

WTSQS

A simplified sqs wrapper with interface similar to a normal queue data structure.

WTSQSWorker

new WTSQS(options)

Constructs WTSQS object.

Param	Type	Default	Description
options	Object		Options object.
options.url	String		SQS queue url.
[options.accessKeyId]	String		AWS access key id.

[options.region]	String	us-east-1	AWS regions where queue exists.
[options.defaultMessageGroupId]	String		FIFO queues only. Default tag assigned to a message that specifies it belongs to a specific message group. If not provided random uuid is assigned to each message which doesn't guarantee order but allows parallelism.

const { WTSQS } = require('wtsqs')

// The most simple way to construct a WTSQS object
const wtsqs = new WTSQS({
