gulp-awslambda-3


> A Gulp plugin for publishing your package to AWS Lambda

Install

``bash
$ npm install --save-dev gulp-awslambda-3
`

Function States

As of v1.3.0 this functionality has been added to this module using the following method:
- use of package gulp-awslambda-3-status checkStatus(FunctionName, lambda, count = 10) has been added
- Before running any Lambda command that would modify the function a call to checkStatus is made.
- Check status will monitor the result of GetFunctionConfigurationCommand for State = 'Active' and LastUpdateStatus !== 'InProgress'.
- If the state requirements are not met, up to 10 retries (default) at a 1 second interval are tried to allow AWS Lambda to complete it's initialization of the previous update.
- This function will throw an error if the 10 retires are exhausted or if the Lambda function returns an error state.
- This function will log 'Waiting for update to complete "${FunctionName}"' to the console each time a retry situation is encountered.

Enhancements

- ES modules. An import statement is required to use the package.
- Test for lambda function ready to receive upload before uploading

Usage

$3

It is recommended that you store your AWS Credentials in ~/.aws/credentials as per the docs.

$3

gulp-awslambda accepts a single ZIP file, uploads that to AWS Lambda, and passes it on down the stream. It works really well with gulp-zip:

`js
var gulp = require('gulp');
var lambda = require('gulp-awslambda-3');
var zip = require('gulp-zip');

const lambdaParams = {
FunctionName: 'testGulpAWSLambda',
Role: '[YOUR ROLE ARN]', // if creating a new function
};

const opts = {
region: 'us-east-1',
};

gulp.task('default', function() {
return gulp.src('index.js', { encoding: false })
.pipe(zip('archive.zip'))
.pipe(lambda(lambda_params, opts))
.pipe(gulp.dest('.'));
});
`

For more information on lambda_params and opts see the API section.

See the test/ directory of this repo for a full working example.

API

`js
lambda(lambda_params, opts)
`

$3

Parameters describing the Lambda function. This can either be...

#### A String

corresponding to the name of an existing Lambda function. In this case gulp-awslambda will only update the function's code.

#### An Object

that is mostly the same as you would pass to UpdateFunctionConfigurationCommand(). The only required parameters are FunctionName and Role (when creating a new function). All the other parameters have the following default values:

- Handler = 'index.handler': This assumes a valid exports.handler in index.js at the root of your ZIP
- Runtime = 'nodejs10.x':

gulp-awslambda-3 will perform an upsert, meaning the function will be created if it does not already exist, and updated (both code and configuration) otherwise.

For code, gulp-awslambda-3 will default to passing the ZipFile property. However, you may alternatively pass e.g.:

`js
Code: {
S3Bucket: 'myBucket',
S3Key: 'function.zip',
},
...
`

to upload from S3.

$3

Options configuring the AWS environment to be used when uploading the function. The following options are supported:

#### profile

If you use a different credentials profile, you can specify its name with this option.

#### publish

Allows you to publish a new version when passing in a string for lambda_params. Otherwise, you may simply specify Publish as a parameter. If both are provided, the value in lambda_params will take precedence.

#### region = 'us-east-1'

Set your AWS region.

#### alias

Requires publish=true. Creates an alias for the version being published. If the alias already exists, it is updated to point to the version being published. Alternate versions may be specified. The following options are supported:

#### name

Required string. The name of the alias.

#### description

Optional text to describe the function's version alias.

#### version

Optional version number to which to assign the alias. If not specified, the alias will be assigned to the version just published.

#### retryCount = 10

Number of calls to checkStatus that should be made when waiting for a function update to complete. Default = 10. Calls are made at ~1 per second. 10 is reasonable for functions that are not attached to a VPC, 45 is better for functions attached to a VPC.

#### statusVerbose = false

When true, log a status message each time the function's status is queried with the time (retires) remaining.

Tests

Set the environment variable GULP_AWSLAMBDA_3_ROLE to the arn of your lambda execution role before running the following test

` bash
GULP_AWSLAMBDA_3_ROLE= node test/index.js
