Lambda and Api Gateway deployment

'api-gateway-lambda' is a library that eases the process of deployment of AWS Lambda and API Gateway.

It takes the necessary parameters from a config.json file and swagger.json(For API-Gateway).

Getting Started.

Prerequisites.

• Node.js (> v6.9.2)
• AWS credentials should be stored in the environment variables.

Installation.

npm install api-gateway-lambda --save

Using it in your code.

• If you have your config.json and swagger.json in a config folder at the root of your project:

const deploymentLibrary = require('api-gateway-lambda')();

deploymentLibrary.deployLambda();
deploymentLibrary.deployAPIGateWay();

• You can specify the relative path of the config folder:

const deploymentLibrary = require('api-gateway-lambda')('/dist/config'); 
//if config folder is in a folder dist sitting at the root of your project.

deploymentLibrary.deployLambda();
deploymentLibrary.deployAPIGateWay();

• These functions return promises in case you want to synchronize their execution.

deploymentLibrary.deployLambda()
  .then(result => console.log(result),
        error => console.log(error));

Important Files and Definition

The library takes the configuration for deployment from the config.json file.

    }
  }
}

• Configurations for API Gateway:

{
  "APIGatewayName": "test-node",
  "env": {
    "PROD": {
      "envName": "PROD",
      "stageName": "PROD",
      "aliasName": "PROD",
      "StageVariables": {
      }
    }
  }
}

• For Deployment of API Gateway a swagger documentation is required.
