Overview

This is a scaffold for the basic structure of a NodeJS AWS lambda function, which can be written in ES6 with Flow annotations, and will get transpiled down to something Lambda is happy with.

Use

Install yo and the generator (probably globally), create a directory for your project, then run the generator in that directory

npm -g install yo @hughescr/generator-aws-lambda
mkdir sample-project
cd sample-project
yo @hughescr/aws-lambda

Answer the questions for the config you want, then sit back and it'll build and set up:

• Main source stub
• Unit test stubs
• ESLint
• Grunt, including
  • lint target which runs lint
  • test target which runs tests & coverage report\
  • package target which creates a ZIP file you can upload to AWS
  • deploy target which will update a lambda on AWS with the code
  • invoke target which will test-invoke your lambda locally passing it an event you can specify
• NPM package.json, including
  • postversion script which handles git updating of version ticking
