#### Example and Deploy

See the deployment example located in the repo under:

* examples/deploy

It contains a deployment script and an example lambda source file.

* Install the dependencies by running:
``
$ npm install
`

To run the script you must first make it runnable:
`
$ chmod +x deploy-lambda.sh
`

To test:

* Deploy the API via API Gateway
* Create an environment variable called __AWS\_HOST\_MARCHIO\_PATCH__ which is set to the invocation url
* Test the deployment using __curl__:

`
$ curl -i -X PATCH -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '[{"op":"replace","path":"/status","value":"PATCH"}]' \
$AWS_HOST_MARCHIO_PATCH/test/marchio-patch/ac7e281f-33f9-4872-9c06-5703999e2d42
`
* The response should contain a 204 status code.
* Browse the DynamoDB table to see the updated record.
