serverless-package v0.2.0

serverless-package

An alternative approach to packaging for Serverless

Why?

Unlike most, I write my serverless apps in Python.

When including third party packages, it can be quite messy, especially for the output of git status.

This approach allows me to install them into a dist/ directory using "pip install -t dist/ ..." and then .gitignore that directory.

Usage

1. Add "serverless-packages" to your plugins list.

2. Specify an artifact in your existing package config

   This disables the built in packager, and enables this one.

3. Add a custom.package section

   This is a map of root paths to lists of glob-all terms.

Example

plugins:
  - serverless-package

package:
  artifact: .serverless/package.zip

custom:
  package:
    sources:
      "./src/":
        - "**"          # Include everything
        - "!**/*.pyc"   # Except the .pyc files
      "./dist/":
        - "**"                      # Include everything
        - "!**/*.pyc"               # Except .pyc files
        - "!*@(dist|egg)-info/**"   # Or pip's book-keeping files

Command

Additionally, this adds the "package" command.

sls package

This will only run the serverless-package command, not the built in packaging.
