SQS Receive message using javascript

const AWS = require("aws-sdk");
const sqs = new AWS.SQS({apiVersion: "2012-11-05"});
const qurl = "ADD YOUR SQS URL HERE";
const params = {
  "QueueUrl": qurl,
  "MaxNumberOfMessages": 1
};

// By using Callback
sqs.receiveMessage(params, (err, data) => {
  if (err) {
    console.log(err, err.stack);
  } else {
    if (!Array.isArray(data.Messages) || data.Messages.length === 0) { 
      console.log("There are no messages available for processing."); 
      return;
    }
    const body = JSON.parse(data.Messages[0].Body);
    console.log(body);
    // process the body however you see fit.
    // once the processing of the body is complete, delete the message from the SQS to avoid reprocessing it.
    const delParams = {
      "QueueUrl": qurl,
      "ReceiptHandle": data.Messages[0].ReceiptHandle
    };
    // delete messages
    sqs.deleteMessage(delParams, (err, data) => {
      if (err) {
        console.log("There was an error", err);
      } else {
        console.log("Message processed Successfully");
      }
    });
  }
});

// Promise implementation
sqs.receiveMessage(params).promise()
.then(data => {
  console.log(data);
  // do the processing here
  //delete the messages
});
