* invocationType - [RequestResponse _(default)_ | Event | DryRun] - AWS Lambda invocation type.
* logType - [None _(default)_ | Tail] - AWS Lambda log type.
* unhandledStatus - [default: 500] - When the Lambda function returns with an unhandled error, usually due to an absence of available resources, this status code will be returned to the client.
* useCustomIntegration - [true | false _(default)_] - Use a custom integration as specified by the req.egContext.lambda object.
maxJSONParseLength - [_(default: 5 1.049e+6, 5MiB)_] - Maximum number of bytes to allow for parsing responses as JSON in an attempt to guess the MIME type.
lambda-proxy PolicyAll plugin settings can be overridden on a per-policy basis. In addition, here are some policy-specific settings:
* functionName - [_(required)_] - Specify the Lambda function name.
* qualifier - [_(optional)_] - Specify a Lambda function version or alias name.
* ignorePath- [true | false _(default)_, _(optional, only valid when using Proxy Integration)_] - Don't proxy to the incoming request's URL path.
* stripPath - [true | false _(default)_, _(optional, only valid when using Proxy Integration)_] - Strip the API Endpoint path prefix from the forwarded URL path.
#### Proxy Integration
Proxy Integration mode sends the Lambda function an event that looks similar to an AWS API Gateway event. The response is expected to be in the same format as the AWS API Gateway Lambda response.
##### Proxy Integration Lambda Event
With Proxy Integration mode, the HTTP request gets turned into a JSON object that gets invoked with the Lambda function.
Here's an example:
``json`
{
"httpMethod": "POST",
"path": "/California?name=Kevin",
"resource": "/:proxy",
"queryStringParameters": {
"name": "Kevin"
},
"pathParameters": {
"proxy": "California"
},
"headers": {
"host": "localhost:60852",
"user-agent": "curl/7.51.0",
"accept": "/",
"content-type": "application/json",
"day": "Thursday",
"content-length": "18"
},
"requestContext": {
"apiEndpoint": {
"apiEndpointName": "default",
"host": "*",
"path": "/:proxy",
"paths": "/:proxy",
"scopes": []
},
"resourcePath": "/:proxy",
"httpMethod": "POST",
"requestId": "3SpeBYb8SK6CvH7Ipx56pK"
},
"isBase64Encoded": false,
"body": "{\"time\":\"morning\"}"
}
##### Proxy Integration Lambda Response
The Lambda response must use the following JSON structure:
`json`
{
"isBase64Encoded": true|false,
"statusCode": httpStatusCode,
"headers": { "headerName": "headerValue", ... },
"body": "..."
}
If no Content-Type header is provided, this plugin will take a buest guess at the MIME type before sending the response to the client. It is recommended to always include a Content-Type header.
#### Custom Integration
Requires the setting useCustomIntegration to equal true.
Custom Integration Mode takes a look at the req.egContext.lambda object and forwards that as the incoming event to the AWS Lambda function. The response is taken, the content type is guessed, and it finally returns to the client.
If the req.egContext.lambda object is not populated, a default event structure will be sent to the AWS Lambda function. Example:
`json`
{
"method": "POST",
"path": "/California?name=Kevin",
"headers": {
"host": "localhost:61636",
"user-agent": "curl/7.51.0",
"accept": "/",
"content-type": "application/json",
"day": "Thursday",
"content-length": "18"
},
"body": "{\"time\":\"morning\"}"
}
This plugin will attempt a best guess at the Content-Type of the response. It is recommended to use Proxy Integration whenever possible.

When using your local, shared AWS credentials file, make sure you set the AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG environment variable to a truthy value.
