Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Serverless framework plugin for applying a standard identification tag to AWS Lambda functions

Readme

serverless-plugin-nametag

serverless

A Serverless framework plugin for tagging AWS Lambda functions with the logical ID of the Lambda function resource.

Usage

Installation

Install via NPM

A Basic Example

The following Serverless configuration will apply a Name tag to the MyFunction Lambda function resource that evaluates to its configured FunctionName (physical ID):

service: my-service

plugins:
  - serverless-plugin-nametag

provider:
  name: aws
  stage: dev
  region: us-east-1
  runtime: python3.6

custom:
  nametag:
  tag: true

functions:
  MyFunction:
    handler: handlers.my_function

In the case of most normal setups, the resulting function will be tagged with Name: my-service-dev-MyFunction.

Advanced Configuration

service: my-service

plugins:
  - serverless-plugin-nametag

provider:
  name: aws
  stage: dev
  region: us-east-1
  runtime: python3.6

custom:
  nametag:
    tag: true
    tagName: FunctionName

functions:
  MyFunction:
    handler: handlers.my_function
  SpecialFunction:
    handler: handlers.special_function
    tags:
      Foo: bar
    nametag:
      tagName: Special
  UntaggedFunction:
    handler: handlers.untagged_function
    nametag:
      tag: false

In the case of most normal setups, the resulting functions will be tagged as-follows:

  • MyFunction:
    • FunctionName: my-service-dev-MyFunction
  • SpecialFunction:
    • Foo: bar
    • Special: my-service-dev-SpecialFunction
  • UntaggedFunction:
    • Nothing!

Configuration Options

The following properties can be set on a nametag object within custom and/or each function described in your Serverless configuration. Options set in custom define the default behavior for each function; options set at the function level override custom options for that function.

| Option | Type | Default | Description | | ------------- | ------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | | custom.nametag.tag | boolean | false | Whether all function(s) should be tagged by default | | custom.nametag.tagName | string | "Name" | The name of the tag that will be created on all functions by default | | functions[].nametag.tag | boolean | (set by custom.nametag.tag) | Whether this function should be tagged | | functions[].nametag.tagName | string | (set by custom.nametag.tagName) | The name of the tag that will be created on this function |

Note that the tagName option is for setting the name of the tag, not its value!

How It Works

This plugin is executed during the Serverless framework's before:package:compileFunctions hook event. It copies the value that Serverless plans to use as the FunctionName property for each function's resulting CloudFormation configuration object and applies it as the value of a tag (called Name by default, but can be customized to whatever you like) on the same function.
