Usage

Generator

Generating a new stack

Currently the generator supports the stack option. Then you will need to choose package manager and bundler.

• package managers - Support all top package managers
  • Available package managers: pnpm, npm, yarn
• bundler - Supports state-of-the-art fully configured serverless bundlers optimized for coldstart.
  • Available stack bundlers: webpack (serverless-webpack), esbuild (serverless-esbuild), tsc (serverless-plugin-typescript)

Templates

According to the package manager and bundler you chose the template will be generated.

Executor

The @thyself/nx-serverless fully supports all Serverless Framework CLI commands and options. The templates (project.json) by default generated with start-offline, package, deploy, print, and remove commands.

Configuring commands

If a commands in serverless CLI compounds from several arguments, concat them with dashes -, for example: serverless deploy list functions, for the executor is: deploy-list-functions

// project.json
// ...
targets: {
    // ...more targets
    "<target-name>": {
      "executor": "@thyself/nx-serverless:<serverless-cli-command>",
      "options": {
        "cwd": "<appsDir>/<stack-dir-name>",
        // ...more options
      }
    },
    // serverless deploy list functions
    "list-deployed-functions": {
      "executor": "@thyself/nx-serverless:deploy-list-functions",
      "options": {
        // Common appsDir is "stacks"
        "cwd": "<your-nx-workspaceLayout-appsDir>/<stack-dir-name>",
        // ...more options
      }
    },
    // ...more targets
}

Example #1: serverless offline start

Example #2: serverless package

VScode Debug (launch.json) Setup for NX

The setup can be configured both on the user's level launch settings or in the project's settings.

Recommended to installing nx and serverless globally.

// User's settings.json
// ...more options

Backwards Compatibility & Legacy Serverless versions

The entire plugin developed on newest versions of both nx@17 and serverless@3, and not tested on legacy environments, so it can't be guaranteed.
