Lambda-local lets you test NodeJS Amazon Lambda functions on your local machine, by providing a simplistic API and command-line tool.
It does not aim to be perfectly feature proof as projects like serverless-offline or docker-lambda, but rather to remain very light (it still provides a fully built Context
, handles all of its parameters and functions, and everything is customizable easily).
The main target are unit tests and running lambda functions locally.
npm install -g lambda-local
Or
npm install npm install --only=dev npm run build
If you're unsure about some definitions, see Definitions for terminology.
API accessible with:
const lambdaLocal = require("lambda-local");
Or on TypeScript (supported on 1.7.0+):
import lambdaLocal = require("lambda-local");
lambdaLocal.execute(options)
Executes a lambda given the options
object, which is a dictionary where the keys may be:
event
requested event as a json object lambdaPath
requested path to the lambda function lambdaFunc
pass the lambda function. You cannot use it at the same time as lambdaPath profilePath
optional, path to your AWS credentials file profileName
optional, aws profile name. Must be used with lambdaHandler
optional handler name, default to handler
region
optional, AWS region, default to us-east-1
timeoutMs
optional, timeout, default to 3000 ms esm
boolean, marks that the script is an ECMAScript module (use import), default false environment
optional, extra environment variables for the lambda envfile
optional, load an environment file before booting envdestroy
optional, destroy added environment on closing, default to false verboseLevel
optional, default 3. Level 2 dismiss handler() text, level 1 dismiss lambda-local text and level 0 dismiss also the result. Level -1 only displays handler() text. callback
optional, lambda third parameter callback. When left out a Promise is returned onInvocationEnd
optional. called once the invocation ended. useful when awslambda.streamifyResponse is used to distinguish between end of response stream and end of invocation. clientContext
optional, used to populated clientContext property of lambda second parameter (context) contextOverwrite
optional, a function that overwrites the context object. It can get and overwrite the values of the context (such as awsRequestId). lambdaLocal.setLogger(logger)
Those functions allow to access the winston logger used by lambda-local.
A lot of examples, especially used among Mocha, may be found in the test files over: here
Basic usage: Using Promisesconst lambdaLocal = require('lambda-local'); var jsonPayload = { 'key': 1, 'another_key': "Some text" } lambdaLocal.execute({ event: jsonPayload, lambdaPath: path.join(__dirname, 'path_to_index.js'), profilePath: '~/.aws/credentials', profileName: 'default', timeoutMs: 3000 }).then(function(done) { console.log(done); }).catch(function(err) { console.log(err); });Basic usage: using callbacks
const lambdaLocal = require('lambda-local'); var jsonPayload = { 'key': 1, 'another_key': "Some text" } lambdaLocal.execute({ event: jsonPayload, lambdaPath: path.join(__dirname, 'path_to_index.js'), profilePath: '~/.aws/credentials', profileName: 'default', timeoutMs: 3000, callback: function(err, data) { if (err) { console.log(err); } else { console.log(data); } }, clientContext: JSON.stringify({clientId: 'xxxx'}) });
-l, --lambda-path <lambda index path>
(required) Specify Lambda function file name.-e, --event-path <event path>
(required --watch is not in use) Specify event data file name.-h, --handler <handler name>
(optional) Lambda function handler name. Default is "handler".-t, --timeout <timeout>
(optional) Seconds until lambda function timeout. Default is 3 seconds.--esm
(optional) Load lambda function as ECMAScript module.-r, --region <aws region>
(optional) Sets the AWS region, defaults to us-east-1.-P, --profile-path <aws profile name>
(optional) Read the specified AWS credentials file.-p, --profile <aws profile name>
(optional) Use with -P: Read the AWS profile of the file.-E, --environment <JSON {key:value}>
(optional) Set extra environment variables for the lambda--wait-empty-event-loop
(optional) Sets callbackWaitsForEmptyEventLoop=True => will wait for an empty loop before returning. This is false by default because our implementation isn't perfect and only "emulates" it.--envdestroy
(optional) Destroy added environment on closing. Defaults to false-v, --verboselevel <3/2/1/0>
(optional) Default 3. Level 2 dismiss handler() text, level 1 dismiss lambda-local text and level 0 dismiss also the result.--envfile <path/to/env/file>
(optional) Set extra environment variables from an env file--inspect [[host:]port]
(optional) Starts lambda-local using the NodeJS inspector (available in nodejs > 8.0.0)-W, --watch [port]
(optional) Starts lambda-local in watch mode listening to the specified port [1-65535].# Simple usage lambda-local -l index.js -h handler -e examples/s3-put.js # Input environment variables lambda-local -l index.js -h handler -e examples/s3-put.js -E '{"key":"value","key2":"value2"}'Running lambda functions as a HTTP Server (Amazon API Gateway payload format version 2.0.)
A simple way you can run lambda functions locally, without the need to create any special template files (like Serverless plugin and SAM requires), just adding the parameter --watch
. It will raise a http server listening to the specified port (default is 8008). You can then call the lambda as mentionned here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/urls-invocation.html
lambda-local -l examples/handler_gateway2.js -h handler --watch 8008 curl --request POST \ --url http://localhost:8008/ \ --header 'content-type: application/json' \ --data '{ "key1": "value1", "key2": "value2", "key3": "value3" }' {"message":"This is a response"}
You can also use the following format for your event, in order to avoid using the Amazon API Gateway format:
{
"event": {
"key1": "value1",
"key2": "value2",
"key3": "value3"
}
}
In this case, the event will be passed directly to the handler.
Event sample data are placed in examples
folder - feel free to use the files in here, or create your own event data. Event data are just JSON objects exported:
// Sample event data module.exports = { foo: "bar" };
The context
object has been sampled from what's visible when running an actual Lambda function on AWS, and the available documentation They may change the internals of this object, and Lambda-local does not guarantee that this will always be up-to-date with the actual context object.
As of version 2.0.0, lambda-local no longer packages AWS-SDK in its dependencies. To run a function that makes use of this module, make sure to install it as a dependency in your project.
make
to install npm modules. (Required to develop & test lambda-local)make test
to execute the mocha test.make clean
