Lambda-lib NPM

AWS Lambda Lib

This library contains a set of decorators to apply to AWS Lambda function to help abstract the event source and eliminate boilerplate code

Example

import { HandlerController, ApiGateway } from 'lambda-lib'

const errorMap = [
  {
    error: ReferenceError,
    status: 400
  },
  {
    error: Error,
    status: 404
  }
]

@HandlerController
class SampleLambdaHandler {
  @ApiGateway({ statusCode: 200, cors: true })
  helloHandler (event) {
    return Promise.resolve({ hello: world })
  }

  @ApiGateway({ statusCode: 200, errorMap: errorMap })
  failedHandler (event) {
    return Promise.reject(new ReferenceError('I am a reference error'))
  }
}

const handler = new SampleLambdaHandler()

export default handler.getHandlers()

      "at process._tickDomainCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:135:7)"
    ]
  }
}

Specifying a custom error response

import { Plugins } from 'lambda-lib'

// Registering a custom error response plugin. This is applied globally.
ApiGateway.registerPlugin(new Plugins.ErrorResponse(err => {
  return {
    test: 'This is the error response body for all errors',
    error: err.message
  }
}))

Sample response with custom error

Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2017 17:08:00 GMT
cache-control: no-cache
content-length: 398
vary: accept-encoding

{
  "test": "This is the error response body for all errors",
  "error": "I am a reference error"
}

Included Plugins

Plugin	Description
cors	When true, a set of default CORS headers are added to the response. Such as: `Access-Control-Allow-Origin`, `Access-Control-Allow-Credentials`, `Access-Control-Allow-Methods`
statusCode	Default status code for the response. Any object resolved via a Promise in the handler, will get this status code.
errorMap	Mapping of error types to response codes for rejected promises.
errorResponse	Format the response of an error.

Plugin Hooks

Hook	Description
INITIALIZE	Initialize is executed right at the beginning of the request, before any default plugins have been executed
PRE_EXECUTE	The pre execute hook is run right before the execution of handler code.
POST_EXECUTE	This hook, post execute, is run after the execution of the handler code.
ON_ERROR	When ever there is an error which results in a rejected promise, this hook is executed.
FINALLY	Final hook executed after the response has been sent to the client already. (Unable to manipulate response contents here)
