Fleet provisioning:

Prerequisite

You need to set up a fleet provision template in the aws console or via terminal https://docs.aws.amazon.com/freertos/latest/lib-ref/c-sdk/provisioning/provisioning_tests.html#provisioning_system_tests_setup

Quickstart

The certificate request is transferred over mqtt(?).

1. install the SDK

npm install aws-iot-device-sdk-js-v2

1. main flow:

//iotidentity is used for certificate creation and registering things(?)
import iotidentity from 'aws-iot-device-sdk-js-v2'
//creates the sertificate
iotidentity.publishCreateKeysAndCertificate(input a, input b)
//creates the thing
iotidentity.publishRegisterThing(input a, input b, input c)

input b: QoS describes levels of QoS in the MQTT message.

• Level 0, completes as soon as the packet is sent.
• Level 1, completes when PUBACK is received.
• Level 2 is not supported by AWS IoT.

I just want to 👍 this one. The old aws-iot-device-sdk-js package describes exactly how to use it with nice code examples for everything. I have been using aws-iot-device-sdk-js for years, and after looking at the documentation for v2 for an hour, I have honestly no clue on how to use it.

Thanks! I think what people are looking for is a written walk-through with code examples that explains the node API. These samples, despite being much better than nothing, are pretty complex and written in Typescript. Take a look at the README for v1. That’s the kind of documentation that makes it easy to get started.
