Serverless Local Dev Server Plugin With Multi Project Support

Build Status

This is a fork of the Local Dev Server Plugin from DieProduktMacher/serverless-local-dev-server

This plugin exposes Alexa-Skill, Schedule, and HTTP events as local HTTP endpoints, removing the need to deploy every code change to AWS Lambda. You can connect these endpoints to Alexa, Facebook Messenger or other services via forwardhq, ngrok or any other forwarding service.

Supported features:

  • Expose alexa-skill, schedule, and http events as local HTTP endpoints
  • Environment variables
  • Basic HTTP integration

How To

1. Install the plugin

yarn add @kalarrs/serverless-local-dev-server --dev

2. Add the plugin to your serverless project configuration file

serverless.yml configuration example:

provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs8.10

functions:
  hello:
    handler: handler.hello
    events:
      - alexaSkill
      - http: GET /hello
      - schedule: rate(1 day)

# Add serverless-local-dev-server to your plugins:
plugins:
  - "@kalarrs/serverless-local-dev-server"

custom:
  # optional: add folder for serving static files (relative to service path)
  localDevStaticFolder: path/to/static/files
  # optional: set the port the server starts on
  localDevPort: 5000
  # optional: set the path name for schedule to be in local vs utc
  localDevScheduleShowLocalTime: true

3. Start the server

serverless local-dev-server

On default the server listens on port 5005. You can specify another one with the --port argument:

serverless local-dev-server --port 5000

You can also set the port in the serverless.yml

  localDevPort: 5000

To see responses returned from Lambda and stack traces, prepend SLS_DEBUG=*

SLS_DEBUG=* serverless local-http-server

4. For Alexa Skills

4.1 Share localhost with the internet

For example with forwardhq:

forward 5005

4.2 Configure AWS to use your HTTPS endpoint

In the Configuration pane, select HTTPS as service endpoint type and specify the forwarded endpoint URL.

As method for SSL Certificate validation select My development endpoint is a sub-domain of a domain that has a wildcard certificate from a certificate authority.
