Writing our first client

Let's start with an example to demonstrate a typical usage pattern.

unit ListQueues;

{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

uses
  AWS.SQS,
  System.SysUtils;

var
  SQS: ISQSClient;

begin
  try
    SQS := TSQSClient.Create;
    var Response := SQS.ListQueues;
    for var QueueUrl in Response.QueueUrls do
      Writeln(QueueUrl);
  except
    on E: Exception do
      Writeln(E.ClassName, ': ', E.Message);
  end;
end.

The key points to note are:

We uses the relevant service unit AWS.SQS.
We declare a variable for the client SQS: ISQSClient.
We create a TSQSClient with default options and assign it to SQS.
We make a ListQueues request and store the Response which will be a ISQSListQueuesResponse.
We enumerate the QueueUrls writing each out to the console.

It's worth noting that each client implementation has a corresponding interface and implementation pair like the ISQSClient and TSQSClient as seen in the previous example. You are not required to use the I* interface but if not you will need to manually free the client once you are done using a try/finally block as with any other Delphi object.
