Netlify Functions Simple Return

To return JSON from a Netlify Function, you have to return a statusCode as well as a JSON string (not JSON directly). This is a little inconvenient, so this packages simplifies the return so that you don't have to stringify the JSON directly.

How to Use

Instead of this...

exports.handler = () => {
    return {
        statusCode: 200,
        body: JSON.stringify({ msg: 'Hello World' }),
    };
};

Do this...

const simpleReturn = require('netlify-functions-simple-return');
exports.handler = () => {
    return simpleReturn(200, { msg: 'Hello World' });
};

This becomes more helpful as you add more potential returns in your Serverless Function.
