No createinputcommand in MediaLiveClient AWS SDK for JavaScript v3

Question

I want to create a medialive input using AWS SDK for JS v3, but cant seem to find the createinputcommand, the createchannelcommand has an `InputId` key in its input object but there is no function to create one.

On the management console we first create an input then attach it to a channel as an input attachment so where is the sdk function to create the input

Answer

Please note that currently, v3 does not have a ```CreateInput``` command (but v2 does have). Hence it is not viable to run this on v3 for the time being.

If you want to file this as a feature request, feel free to do so on the AWS JS v3 SDK [GitHub](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3) issue.
Make sure you use the 'feature-request' label. With that said, please note that there is no guarantee if it would be implemented.

Additional notes: it is not recommended to use v2 calls on v3 as they are not the same set of APIs and may break work-flows.
More information on the v2 to v3 transition [here](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/blob/main/UPGRADING.md).
