babel-lambda-skeleton

babel-lambda-skeleton is meant to be all the necessary boilerplate needed for you to get started creating, testing and deploying Lambda functions to Amazon Web Services.

This configuration enables you to write and test your lambda functions in ES6, and compiling them using Babel. The code is easily uploaded to AWS using the aws-cli.

Build

$ npm run build

This functions compiles and compresses your code into an zip file which you later can upload, both manually and automatically.

Configuration

To upload automatically to AWS you need to configure your lambda functions in the file lambda.json.

Example configuration

Valid JSON cannot contain comments, so remember to remove them first.

{
	// The name you want to assign to the function you are uploading
    "FunctionName": "babel-lambda-skeleton",
	// The runtime environment for the Lambda function you are uploading.
    "Runtime": "nodejs4.3",
 	// The ARN of the IAM role that Lambda assumes when it executes your function
    "Role": "arn:aws:iam::775479825196:role/lambda",
	// The function within your code that Lambda calls to begin execution.
    "Handler": "dist.default",
	// A short, user-defined function description.
    "Description": "An basic AWS Lambda function",
	// The function execution time at which Lambda should terminate the function.
    "Timeout": 3,
	// The amount of memory, in MB, your Lambda function is given.
    "MemorySize": 128,
 	// Create the Lambda function and publish a version as an atomic operation.
    "Publish": true
}

For more information see the DOCS for the AWS CLI.

Deploy to AWS

The deploy script will create the Lambda function for you in AWS with the compiled code and the specified configurations. If the function already exists, it will publish a new version with the updated code and configurations.

To be able to deploy automatically to AWS you need to have installed the aws-cli and configured it to use the the account you wish to upload the function to.

$ npm run deploy

Styleguide

$ npm run lint

Tests

Run the tests with:
