grunt-aws-lambda-package v0.0.7

grunt-aws-lambda-package

A grunt plugin for packaging functions for AWS Lambda.

Node >= 8 is required.

Getting Started

npm install grunt-aws-lambda-package --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-aws-lambda-package');

Usage

The task lambda_package generates a zip including npm production dependencies.

In the Gruntfile, add a section named lambda_package to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
    lambda_package: {
        default: {
            options: {
                // Options go here.
            }
        }
    },
});

Options

options.include_files

Type: Array Default value: **/*

Files to explicitly include in the package, even if they would be ignored by npm.

options.dist_folder

Type: String Default value: dist

The folder where the complete zip files should be saved relative to the Gruntfile.

options.base_folder

Type: String Default value: ./

The folder where the package files should be found relative to the Gruntfile.

options.include_time

Type: Boolean Default value: false

Whether or not to timestamp the packages, if set to true the current date/time will be included in the zip name.

options.include_version

Type: Boolean Default value: false

Whether or not to include the npm package version in the artifact package name.

options.exclude_aws_sdk

Type: Boolean Default value: true

Whether or not to exclude the AWS-SDK module from the package.

Example

Default Options

In this example, the default options are used therefore if we have the following Gruntfile.js:

module.exports = function(grunt) {
  
  grunt.initConfig({
    pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
    
    lambda_package: {
        default: {
        }
    },
  });
  
  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-aws-lambda-package');

  grunt.registerTask('package', ['lambda_package']); 
};

And the following in package.json

{
    "name": "my-lambda-function",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "scripts": {
      "package": "grunt package"
    },
    "dependencies": {
        "aws-sdk": "^2.243.1",
        "jquery": "^3.3.1"
    },
    "devDependencies": {
        "jasmine": "^3.1.0",
        "grunt": "^1.0.2",
        "grunt-cli": "^1.2.0",
        "grunt-aws-lambda-package": "0.0.6",        
    }
}

Then we run npm run package, we should see a new zip file in a new folder called dist called:

my-lambda-function.zip

If you unzip that and look inside you should see something like:

index.js
package.json
node_modules/
node_modules/jquery
node_modules/jquery/... etc

No development dependencies, no AWS SDK.
