aws-sdk for RDS nodejs

Question

I need to start and stop an instance of RDS from a nodejs script.

But I read the AWS documentation but I didn't see how to do it.

I have installed aws-sdk and I'm trying to use it like this:

const aws = require("aws-sdk");
const test = new aws.RDS({
    apiVersion: "XXXX",
    accessKeyId: "",
    secretAccessKey: "",
    region: "XXXXX",
    endpoint: "XXXXXX"
});

is there a better way to implement this functionality?

Thanks in advance,
Javier

After initializing the Service like you did, you can call startDBInstance

var params = {
  DBInstanceIdentifier: 'STRING_VALUE' /* required */
};
test.startDBInstance(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

and stopDBInstance :

var params = {
  DBInstanceIdentifier: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  DBSnapshotIdentifier: 'STRING_VALUE'
};
test.stopDBInstance(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});
