Run AWS Lambda function locally! The most lightweight library - no external dependencies. Less than 200 lines of code.

Windows, Mac and Linux tested!

Installation

npm install -g local-lambda

Inputs

-f functionName     | --function=functionName       required       Path to Lambda function main file
-e event            | --event=event                 optional       Either path to .json file contains event object or raw JSON data
-c contextPath      | --context=contextPath         optional       Path to .json file contains context object
-t seconds          | --timeout=seconds             optional       Force quit Lambda function after XX seconds
-h handler          | --handler=exports.handler     optional       Module.exports.handler name. Default is first function from the module 

Usage

Just specify function name (can be in nested directory), event object file. Optionally you also may replace default context object and timeout (30 seconds by default).

$ cat function.js

exports.handler = function(event, context)
{
    context.done(event, context);
    // or
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {})
};

Or

exports.handler = function(event, context, callback)
{
    callback(null, dataToRetun);
};

Or

exports.handler = function(event)
{
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {})
};

Or even

exports.handler = async (event) =>
{
    return 'ret';
}

Check the event object. You can create any set of input data (and use them for functional testing or something else)

$ cat event.json
{
    "obj"   : { "a" : "b" },
    "int"   : 1,
    "str"   : "qwerty",
    "arr"   : [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]
}

$ lambda-local -f function -e event.json -t 20
