Options

package
Primarily designed when bundling lambdas, it will ensure node_modules is installed into dist for each entrypoint, then zips the output folder (ready to be uploaded to AWS)
NOTE: Currently only supports pnpm
Externals & node_modules
If you create a package.json next to the entrypoint, it will be used instead of the project package.json. This is useful when you have a specific lambda have less dependencies installed than the project has. Externals will only ever use the root package.json (so it should always be a superset of the lambda entrypoint package.json)
beforeZip hook
If there is additional preparation you need to do before zipping, you can use the beforeZip hook. It will be run with a CWD of the output folder.

An option is missing
I have just added the options I needed to start with, to add another just
- Add the option to the schema.json file
- Add the option to the schema.d.ts file
- Consume the option in executor.ts and pass the appropriate cli arg
