# node-lambda
Command line tool to locally run and deploy your node.js application to [Amazon Lambda](http://aws.amazon.com/lambda/).
[](http://badge.fury.io/js/node-lambda)
```
$ node-lambda run
```
## Installation
With `npx`:
```
$ npx node-lambda@latest [COMMAND]
```
Globally installed:
```
$ npm install -g node-lambda
```
## Example App
Example apps make it easy to get up and running
* [JavaScript example](https://github.com/motdotla/node-lambda-template).
* [TypeScript example](https://github.com/fogfish/node-lambda-typescript-template).
## Usage
There are 4 available commands.
```
$ npx node-lambda@latest setup
$ npx node-lambda@latest run
$ npx node-lambda@latest package
$ npx node-lambda@latest deploy
```
### Commands
#### setup
Initializes the `event.json`, `context.json`, `.env`, `deploy.env` files, and `event_sources.json` files. `event.json` is where you mock your event. `context.json` is where you can add additional mock data to the context passed to your lambda function. `.env` is where you place your deployment configuration. `deploy.env` has the same format as `.env`, but is used for holding any environment/config variables that you need to be deployed with your code to Lambda but you don't want in version control (e.g. DB connection info). `event_sources.json` is used to set the event source of the Lambda function (Not all event sources available in Lambda are supported).
```
$ npx node-lambda@latest setup --help
Usage: setup [options]
Sets up the .env file.
Options:
-h, --help output usage information
-j, --eventFile [event.json] Event JSON File
-x, --contextFile [context.json] Context JSON File
```
After running setup, it's a good idea to gitignore the generated `event.json` and `.env` files, as well as `.lambda`.
```
$ echo -e ".env\ndeploy.env\nevent.json\n.lambda" >> .gitignore
```

If you are deploying to a custom endpoint you may also need to pass in an access key/secret. For localstack these can be anything, but cannot be blank:
```
npx node-lambda@latest deploy --endpoint http://localhost:4574 --accessKey '1234' --secretKey '1234'
```
## Custom Environment Variables
AWS Lambda will let you set environment variables for your function. Use the sample `deploy.env` file in combination with the `--configFile` flag to set values which will be added to the lambda configuration upon deploy. Environment variables will also be set when running locally using the same flag
## Node.js Runtime Configuration
AWS Lambda now supports Node.js 20, Node.js 18 and Node.js 16. Please also check the [Lambda runtimes](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/lambda-runtimes.html) page.
## Use S3 to deploy
Use the command line argument `--deployUseS3` or `-B`. (This option is true/false.)
Example: `% npx node-lambda@latest deploy -B`
You can also set the environment variable `DEPLOY_USE_S3`.
Example: `DEPLOY_USE_S3=true`
Use the environment variable to set the bucket name or S3 key prefix.
The environment variable name is different for each region. Please set it to the environment variable you want to deploy.
It can be set in `.env`.
Example:
```sh
# S3__BUCKET
S3_US_WEST_1_BUCKET=test_aaa
# S3__PREFIX
S3_US_WEST_1_PREFIX=bbb
```
In this case, the S3 key:
`test_aaa/bbb/deploy-package-${FunctionName}.zip`
## To deploy a container image to Lambda
1. [Pushing a Docker image to ECR](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECR/latest/userguide/docker-push-ecr-image.html)
2. Specify the Image URI of the ECR with the environment variable:`IMAGE_URI` or `--imageUri` option, and deploy.
## Post install script
When running `node-lambda deploy` if you need to do some action after `npm install --production` and before deploying to AWS Lambda (e.g. replace some modules with precompiled ones or download some libraries, replace some config file depending on environment) you can create `post_install.sh` script. If the file exists the script will be executed (and output shown after execution) if not it is skipped. Environment string is passed to script as first parameter so you can use it if needed. Make sure that the script is executable.
Example `post_install.sh`:
```
printf "\n\n###### Post install script ###### \n"
ENV="production";
if [ ! -z $1 ]
then
ENV=$1;
fi
cp -v "config_$ENV.js" "config.js" \
&& printf "###### DONE! ###### \n\n"
```
## Post invoke script (example)
If you wish to invoke your deployed AWS Lambda function, you can add the following as a `script` to your `package.json`:
```
"invoke:remote": "aws lambda invoke --function-name myLambdaFnName --payload fileb://fixtures/hi.json invoked.json --log-type Tail | jq -r '.LogResult' | base64 --decode && rm invoked.json"
```
## Prebuilt packages
The `--prebuiltDirectory` flag is useful for working with Webpack for example. It skips `npm install --production` and `post_install.sh` and simply packages the specified directory.
## Handling `npm link` and Dependencies With Local Paths
Perhaps the easiest way to handle these cases is to bundle the code using Webpack and use the `--prebuiltDirectory` flag to package the output for deployment.
## ScheduleEvents
#### Optional Parameter
When using the eventSourceFile flag (-S or --eventSourceFile) to set a ScheduleEvent trigger, you can pass an optional _ScheduleDescription_ key into the ScheduleEvent object with a custom description for the CloudWatch event rule you are defining. By default, node-lambda generates a _ScheduleDescription_ for you based on the ScheduleName and ScheduleExpression of the rule.
#### Note on ScheduleState for ScheduleEvents
When setting ScheduleState to `ENABLED` or `DISABLED` for ScheduleEvents, it is useful to note that this sets the state of the CloudWatch Event rule but _DOES NOT_ set the state of the trigger for the Lambda function you are deploying; ScheduleEvent triggers are enabled by default in the Lambda console when added using the eventSourceFile flag.
#### Known Issue
###### Duplicate ScheduleEvent Triggers
If you are adding a trigger via the `eventSourceFile` for the first time, remove preexisting triggers from the Lambda console before deploying. Deploying a Lambda with the `--eventSourceFile` flag will *NOT* overwrite the same triggers created from the AWS console and may result in a duplicate triggers for the same rule.
