Configuring region in Node.js AWS SDK

Question

Can someone explain how to fix a missing config error with Node.js? I\'ve followed all the examples from the aws doc page but I still get this error no matter what.

Answer 1

This may not be the right way to do it, but I have all my configs in a separate JSON file. And this does fix the issue for me

To load the AWS config, i do this:

var awsConfig = config.aws;
AWS.config.region = awsConfig.region;
AWS.config.credentials = {
    accessKeyId: awsConfig.accessKeyId,
    secretAccessKey: awsConfig.secretAccessKey
}

config.aws is just a JSON file.
