A boilerplate for developing, testing and deploying AWS Lambda functions using node.js

Clone the project and trigger installation of the project dependencies by

> git clone https://github.com/SC5/sc5-aws-lambda-boilerplate.git [module name]
> cd [module name]
> npm install

Set up your AWS credentials e.g. to ~/.aws/credentials (see http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/guide/node-configuring.html). e.g.

[default]
aws_access_key_id = [YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID]
aws_secret_access_key = [YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY]

Set up your lambda environment by copying example_lambdaenv.json to lambdaenv.json and setting the parameter values. You will need an AWS IAM role for use with your Lambda function.

Set up your module information into package.json prior to deployment

src/    The source of the Lambda function (index.js)
tests/  The tests for the Lambda function. Tests to run must start with test_
gulpfile.js     The gulpfile used for deployment
package.json    The package file for the module. Defines the function name, version and dependencies

Run gulp tests.

> gulp test

Tests reside in the tests/directory. Uses lambda-wrapper module to wrap the code.

The module is deployed to Lambda using

> gulp deploy

This will create a new lamda function to the region defined in lambdaenv.json with the name [module_name]_[version] (cleaned up from illegal characters)
