@alpha-lambda/handler

Tiny wrapper that ensures that AWS Lambda function's callback is always called. In other words, from your handler you can return value, promise, throw exception, and this library will wrap your code into a promise while calling appropriate lambda-required callback. Your handler is composed of middleware, similar to Express or Koa.

Installation

$ npm install @alpha-lambda/handler

Usage

const handler = require('@alpha-lambda/handler');
const pino = require('pino');

module.exports.handler = handler()
	.use(async (event, context, next) => {
		// this is some middleware
		// this will forward to next function in the chain
		await next();
		// you can do things, like logging, after the fact
		// you can also override the return value
	})
	.with({
		log: pino() // this will be accessible as context.log
	})
	.use((event, context) => {
		context.log.info({ event }, 'incoming event');
		return 'Hello, world!';
	});

.use(middleware)

Adds middleware of the function(event, context, next) {} form to the chain.

.with(extensions)

Adds extensions to the context. Extensions are grouped into sections. If context has a section already, new keys will be merged in, but will not override existing ones.

next()

The next() function takes up to three arguments: (err, context, event).

If you specify err, then execution is rejected with it. You can also (optionally) specify context/event to override those values for subsequent middleware.

Examples:

next(); // no err, no override for context/event
next(new Error('failure!')); // rejected with Error
next(null, {}); // context is overriden
next(null, null, {}); // event is overriden
next(null, {}, {}); // both context and event are overriden

Middleware

Use these middleware to extend functionality.
