Wrapper methods & scripts for easy use of the AWS SDK.
The aws-sdk is great in terms of completeness, but it typically takes a chain of a few methods to complete most simple tasks, this library aims to make it a little easier to perform specific tasks.

I will add more features as I need them for other projects.
Feel free to request new features with an issue or to submit new features with a PR.

Configure using the aws-sdk instructions.

Install: npm install --save aws-mgmt-utils
Import: import utils = require('aws-mgmt-utils');

Initialize the class: const cloudFormation = new utils.CloudFormation(opts);, it takes these options, this param is optional.

• createOrUpdateStackUrl(name: string, templateUrl: string): Promise - This method can be used to create or update a stack using a template hosted in S3. Waits for create/update to complete.
• createOrUpdateStackFile(name: string, templatePath: string): Promise - This method can be used to create or update a stack using a local template. Waits for create/update to complete.
• checkIfStackExists(name: string): Promise<boolean> - This method can be used to determine whether or not a stack exists.

Initialize the class: const route53 = new utils.Route53(opts);, it takes these options, this param is optional.

• getHostedZoneId(name: string): Promise<string> - This method can be used to retrieve a hosted zone ID
• updateRecord(name: string, type: string, value: string): Promise - This method can be used to update a DNS record

Initialize the class: const s3 = new utils.S3(opts);, it takes these options, this param is optional.

• uploadToS3(toUpload: string, bucket: string, acl: string, prefix?: string): Promise - Uploads a file or folder to S3

The example scripts are configured to be accessable if you install this package globally (npm install -g aws-mgmt-utils).
The available executables are (type them into the command line to see usage):

• r53-update-record: Maps to update-record.ts
• s3-upload-dir: Maps to upload-dir.ts
• r53-o365: Maps to route53-on-o365.ts

This library is written using typescript.
All core developer functions are npm scripts:

• npm install - Get typings and packages
• npm run build - Transpile
• npm run test - Run unit tests
• npm run clean - Remove transpiled javascript

The files in the .vscode directory configure the VS Code Editor for use with this project.
If you use VS Code I would reccomend the Status Bar Tasks extension, this will make all of those core developer tasks (and more) buttons on the bottom of your editor.
