CreateQueue Method

Creates an SQS queue.

Syntax

amazonsqs.createQueue(queueName, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

A queue with the specified name is created.

CreateQueue returns a queue id assigned to the queue. This can then be used to CreateMessage or DeleteQueue.

If the QueueName ends with .fifo, the queue will be created as a FIFO queue. Alternatively, if the UseFIFOQueues configuration setting is enabled, the class will always attempt to create FIFO queues, appending .fifo to the given QueueName if necessary (all FIFO queues' names must have that suffix).
