Bokoblin

Bokoblin is an opinionated scaffolding generator for AWS Lambda functions. It bundles together a set of tools which facilitate fast development and deployment of Lambda functions by providing:

• flow
• jasmine
• webpack
• deployment scripts

Requirements

• aws-cli tool

Usage

Installation

Install globally with either npm

npm install bokoblin -g

or Yarn

yarn global add bokoblin

Generating a lambda

To generate a new lambda function you need to specify its name and the indentifier of the IAM role which Amazon will assign to it.

bokoblin MyNewFunction arn:aws:iam::123456789123456:role/lambda_basic_execution

cd MyNewFunction

Then initialize your test suite with:

yarn test init

Develop your code in app/component.js.

Scripts

You get the following out of the box:

• yarn flow - carries out static type checking with flow
• yarn build - builds the function into build/component.js
• yarn test - builds the function and runs jasmine specs
• yarn push - build the function, runs specs, and pushes to Amazon AWS
