helpers

Rusoto helpers

This crate contains the high level helper functions for the AWS services implemented in Rusoto.

For example, instead of using the lower level functions from Rusoto, like this:

let client = SQSClient::new(credentials, region);
try!(client.list_queues(&ListQueuesRequest::default()));

the higher level functions can be used:

let mut sqs = SQSHelper::new(provider, &region);
sqs.list_queues();

The SQSHelper object takes care of keeping the provider and region, so it can be reused easier.

Development

The Rusoto helpers crate is packaged and published separately from the Rusoto crate itself. The Cargo.toml file has a dependency to Rusoto in the parent directory .., as these crates share a common git repository. This local dependency helps to synchronize development of features in the helper crate with any changes necessary in the parent. The helpers crate is published with a versioned dependency on the Rusoto crate as provided by crates.io.
