Initializing an Instance of ObsClient

Each time you want to send an HTTP/HTTPS request to OBS, you must create an instance of ObsClient. Sample code is as follows:
// Create an instance of ObsClient.
var obsClient = new ObsClient({
    // Hard-coded or plaintext AK/SK are risky. For security purposes, encrypt your AK/SK and store them in the configuration file or environment variables. In this example, the AK/SK are stored in environment variables for identity authentication. Before running this example, configure environment variables AccessKeyID and SecretAccessKey.
    // The front-end code does not have the process environment variable, so you need to use a module bundler like webpack to define the process variable.
    // Obtain an AK/SK pair on the management console.
    access_key_id: process.env.AccessKeyID,
    secret_access_key: process.env.SecretAccessKey,
    server: 'https://your-endpoint'
});

// Use the instance to access OBS.
