node-lambda-babel-template

This project adds webpack and Babel to @motdotla's node-lambda-template so you can run the lastest version of Javascript on AWS Lambda.

babel-preset-latest is automatically included, but you can easily add additional presets and plugins.

webpack transforms index.js outputting to dist/index.js, which is then pushed up to AWS Lambda with node-lambda.

Getting Started

To get started, download the latest template files:

$ curl -o- https://ribjyr1g9l.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/nodelambdababeltemplate/latest | bash

Before running the command above, please take a look at https://ribjyr1g9l.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/nodelambdababeltemplate/latest directly. Piping anything unknown through bash can be dangerous!

The install script is created using this: https://gist.github.com/flesch/8ed6f47942350e858ebd3283e10f8a9b.

To download a specific release, use the following:

$ curl -o- https://ribjyr1g9l.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/nodelambdababeltemplate/v2.1.0 | bash

Or clone this repository and remove the .git folder.

$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/flesch/node-lambda-babel-template.git && cd node-lambda-babel-template && rm -rf .git

Next, install the dependencies.

$ npm install

The postinstall npm hook will run node-lambda setup, giving you the context.json, event.json, .env, and deploy.env files.

See https://github.com/motdotla/node-lambda#setup for more details.

Note: AWS_ENVIRONMENT and AWS_HANDLER are defined in the npm scripts in package.json, not .env.

Developing

webpack will watch index.js and transform it as dist/index.js while you make changes.

$ npm start

Modify webpack.config.js and .babelrc to add addtional plugins and presets.

You can test your changes by running:

$ npm test

Modify event.json to mock your event.

Deploying

To deploy your compiled index.js to AWS Lambda, simply run:

$ npm run deploy

The predeploy npm hook will recompile index.js using Webpack in production mode. node-lambda deploy is then executed, including deploy.env.
