NHS FHIR Middy Error Handler


This repository contains a variant of the Middy Error Handler for use in a FHIR AWS lambda.

Functionality

This repository creates an NPM package that is designed to be used as error handling middleware for a FHIR AWS lambda, returning FHIR compliant error messages as OperationOutcome resources.

$3

This project has a dependency on @aws-lambda-powertools/logger.
If you are using @aws-lambda-powertools/logger in your project, and you are using version 1.x of @aws-lambda-powertools/logger, then you must use version 1.x of this module.
If you are using @aws-lambda-powertools/logger in your project, and you are using version 2.x of @aws-lambda-powertools/logger, then you must use version 2.x of this module.

$3

To integrate this into your project, install the package using the following:

``bash
npm install @nhs/fhir-middy-error-handler
`

Then add the following to your middy middleware stack:

`typescript
import middy from "@middy/core"
import {Logger, injectLambdaContext} from "@aws-lambda-powertools/logger"
import {APIGatewayProxyEvent, APIGatewayProxyResult} from "aws-lambda"
import errorHandler from "@nhs/fhir-middy-error-handler";

const logger = new Logger({serviceName: "myService", logLevel: "INFO"})

const lambdaHandler = async (event: APIGatewayProxyEvent): Promise => {
...
}

export const handler = middy(lambdaHandler)
.use(injectLambdaContext(logger))
.use(errorHandler({ logger }));
`

Development

It is recommended that you use visual studio code and a devcontainer as this will install all necessary components and correct versions of tools and languages.
See for details on how to set this up on your host machine.
There is also a workspace file in .vscode that should be opened once you have started the devcontainer. The workspace file can also be opened outside of a devcontainer if you wish.

All commits must be made using signed commits

Once the steps at the link above have been completed. Add to your ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf as below:

`
use-agent
pinentry-mode loopback
`

and to your ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf as below:

`
allow-loopback-pinentry
`

As described here:


You will need to create the files, if they do not already exist.
This will ensure that your VSCode bash terminal prompts you for your GPG key password.

The GitHub Actions require a secret to exist on the repo called "SONAR_TOKEN".
This can be obtained from SonarCloud
as described here.
You will need the "Execute Analysis" permission for the project (NHSDigital_nhs-fhir-middy-error-handler) in order for the token to work.

$3

Some pre-commit hooks are installed as part of the install above, to run basic lint checks and ensure you can't accidentally commit invalid changes.
The pre-commit hook uses python package pre-commit and is configured in the file .pre-commit-config.yaml.
A combination of these checks are also run in CI.

$3

There are make commands that are run as part of the CI pipeline and help alias some functionality during development.

#### Default target

- make runs the default target which runs deep-clean, install, lint, check-licenses, build, and test

#### Install targets

- install installs python, pre-commit hooks, and node modules

#### Clean and deep-clean targets

- clean clears up any files that have been generated by building or testing locally.
- deep-clean runs clean target and also removes any node_modules installed locally.

#### Linting and testing

- lint runs lint for all code
- test runs all tests

#### Check licenses

- check-licenses checks licenses for all packages used in node and python
