Error Code 

This error is due to the datatype of message is something other than string .

const aws = require('aws-sdk');

const config = require('./config.json');

(async function(){

try{

aws.config.setPromisesDependency();

aws.config.update( {

accessKeyId : config.accessKeyId,

secretAccessKey : config.secretAccessKey,

region :"us-east-2"

}

);

let sqs = new aws.SQS();

let msg = {"orderId":1 , "item":"Laptop","quantity":10};

let details = {

MessageBody : msg ,

QueueUrl : "https://sqs.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/320524107631/orders"

};

sqs.sendMessage(

details , function(err , data ){

console.log(err);

console.log(data);

}

);

}catch(e){

console.log(e);

}

}

)();

Solution

change the datatype of message and make it as a string .

Code Changes 

Since the message was in JSON format , I have converted it to String .

  

        

const aws = require('aws-sdk');

const config = require('./config.json');

(async function(){

try{

aws.config.setPromisesDependency();

aws.config.update( {

accessKeyId : config.accessKeyId,

secretAccessKey : config.secretAccessKey,

region :"us-east-2"

}

);

let sqs = new aws.SQS();

let msg = {"orderId":1 , "item":"Laptop","quantity":10};

let details = {

MessageBody : JSON.stringify(msg) ,

QueueUrl : "https://sqs.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/320524107631/orders"

};

sqs.sendMessage(

details , function(err , data ){

console.log(err);

console.log(data);

}

);

}catch(e){

console.log(e);

}

}

)();

AWS SDK Nodejs

AWS SQS

Fully managed message queues for microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications

 

 

Reactjs

Hello and Welcome to this tutorial on Reactjs . Here , we are going to learn Reactjs and also create a simple application .


Table of Contents

• Getting Started
• Components
• JSX
• props
• state

1. Getting Started

Finish up all the required software installation (nodejs , vscode..) and start with creating a simple application using the following command .

npx create-react-app your-app-name

start your app using the following command

npm start

2. Components

Components are basic building blocks of a React application . Let's create one .
Create a new  file , here is an example of a sample component . 

import React from 'react';

import './App.css';

function App() {

  return (

    <div  >

       Hello World !

    </div>

  );

}

export default App;

2.1  render()

returns the HTML part of the component .

3. JSX

JSX stands for Javascript XML . You would have notice that in the render function we return an HTML element , that's actually a JSX . A JSX should be a valid XML .It is translated to Javascript at runtime .You can use an expression {} in JSX .

4. props

We can access the data passed to a component using props .

5. state

A state can have multiple properties which will be used within an application . If any state property is changed the component is re rendered .

  6.LifeCycle : Mounting 

• Constructor
• static getDerivedStateFromProps
• render
• componentDidMount

AWS CloudFormation

CloudFormation is used to save the configuration ( as a JSON )which can be used to create a new service .

Service to provision resources using templates .

 CloudFormation Template is a JSON document .

CloudFormation Stack : Services that are created using CloudFormation Template .

CloudFormation Designer : used to create a CloudFormation Template using a drag and drop .

CloudFormer : creates a cloudFormation template based on existing infrastructure .

Elastic Beanstalk

Elastic Beanstack can be used to automate deployment and scaling .
