serverless-offline-step-functions

Serverless Offline plugin to support step functions.

Installation

# dependencies:
$ npm install -D serverless-offline, serverless-step-functions

# the fun stuff
$ npm install -D serverless-offline-step-functions

Usage

• Add to plugins section in serverless.yml:

plugins:
  - serverless-step-functions
  - serverless-offline-step-functions
  - serverless-offline

• If your resources have a prefix added during deploy time, add the resourcePrefix confing to the serverless.yml custom section. This will allow serverless-offline-step-functions to find the resources. See below for an example:

custom:
  serverless-offline-step-functions:
    resourcePrefix: ${self:service}-${self:provider.stage}-

Server

The plugin also sets up a server to run any lambdas that make use of the StepFunctions API in the aws-sdk. The default port is 8014; however, you can specify which port to listen to like so:

custom:
  serverless-offline-step-functions:
    port: 8014

Serveless Offline will now be able to run your state machines similar to AWS!
