lambda-wrapper

Wrapper for running lambda modules locally or from AWS during development

Use

Initializing the local Lambda

// Loads the module in myModule/mymod.js
var lambdaFunc = require('myModule/mymod.js');
var lambda = require('lambda-wrapper').wrap(lambdaFunc);

Initializing a lambda in AWS

var lambda = require('lambda-wrapper').wrap({
    region: 'eu-west-1',
    lambdaFunction: 'myFunctionName'
});

Running the function in the Lambda module

var event = { key1: 'val1', key2: val2 };
lambda.run(event, function(err, data) {
    if (err) {
        ... handle error
    }
    ... process data returned by the Lambda function
})

If you want to pass a custom context to the Lambda module (only when running local), use the runHandler method. e.g.

lambda.runHandler(event, customContext, callback)

Documentation for valid propreties in the Lambda context object are documented here http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/nodejs-prog-model-context.html

Exceptions from within the module will be returned as errors via the callback / promise.

Development

Please run module tests in a Node 4 environment prior to submitting PRs using

npm run test

Live lambda run test requires that the function in lambdaWrapper-test.js is deployed to your AWS account as 'lambdaWrapper-test'.
