PHP and Javascript interface to query AWS SES notifications

When using AWS SES, it's possible to set bounce and delivery feedback to be published through a SNS topic. When a SQS queue has subscribed to the SNS topic, it will contain any bounce or delivery messages created during SES send action.

This library abstracts most of AWS API-related stuff and deals with GUI output.

How to use

Client-side Javascript

First, include the javascript api.js.min file in the web page.

Then, create the API object and execute the request, providing any required parameters :

• nodeId is a string set to a DOM tree element id value ; this element will contain the output
• type is a string setting the kind of SES data we fetch : Delivery or Bounce
• cssClass may be set with any CSS class names, making it possible to custom styling the output table

// creating API object
var req = new nettools.awsSesGuiNotifications(nodeId, type, cssClass);

// execute request and update GUI
req.update(
	// callback that must return a Promise object resolved with SQS data (see server-side remark below)
	function()
	{
		return fetch('/path/to/a/script.php', {
			method : 'POST'
		})
		.then(function(response){
			return response.json();
		});
	},

	// updates count (see remark below)
	5
);

Remarks :

• SQS queues may not return all messages in a single API call ; so it's necessary to perform several request to be sure to have all data.
• Create a server-side PHP file that will perform the AWS API call through our library and return the messages to the Javascript class.

Server-side PHP

The server-side PHP file (refered above as /path/to/a/script.php must call our API to send the request to AWS SQS :

// creating Request object
$rq = new \Nettools\AwsSesGuiNotifications\Request(\Aws\Credentials\CredentialProvider::ini('default', '/path/to/aws/credentials'), $region);

// perform API call ; set $url_of_sqs_queue with the correct URL of the SQS queue to be queried
$ret = $rq->execute($url_of_sqs_queue);

// answer with json data
header("Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8");
echo json_encode($ret);

Please note that the CredentialProvider::ini call must define a path to a credentials file, and that $region must be a string setting the correct AWS region.

The credentials file must contains the following lines, with your key and secrets :

[default]
aws_access_key_id = ___key_here___
aws_secret_access_key = ___secret_here___
