Lambda res handler

AWS Lambda APIG proxy integration helper to send an HTTP response.

Installation

npm i @mooncake-dev/lambda-res-handler

API

The module exposes a function createResHandler that returns an resHandlers Object with helper methods to send HTTP responses. It can be configured with default headers, that will be sent every time the response handler helper is called.

createResHandler(defaultHeaders)

Parameters:

Name Required Type Description
defaultHeaders No Object Contains default headers as key-value pairs.

Returns:

Object resHandlers.

This Object contains the following methods:

Name Description
json Stringifies response payload as JSON.
html Responds with html content and sets the proper content type headers

resHandlers.json(code, body, headers)

Parameters:

Name Required Type Description
code No Number A valid HTTP status code, which defaults to 200.
body No Object or Array The payload to be returned as JSON.
headers No Object Any headers to send (in addition to the defaultHeaders) as key-value pairs.

Returns:

Object.

This is an AWS Lambda conformant HTTP response Object:

{
  headers: {},
  statusCode: 200,
  body: {}
}

Usage

const createResHandler = require('@mooncake-dev/lambda-res-handler');
const sendRes = createResHandler();
sendRes.json(201, { hello: 'world' });

Examples

'use strict';

const createResHandler = require('@mooncake-dev/lambda-res-handler');

const defaultHeaders = {
  'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*'
};

const sendRes = createResHandler(defaultHeaders);

/**
 * Lambda APIG proxy integration.
 *
 * @param {Object} event - HTTP input
 *
 * @return {Object} HTTP output
 */
module.exports.sendData = async event => {
  try {
    const data = [1, 2, 3];
    return sendRes.json(200, data);
  } catch (err) {
    console.log('error: ', err); // eslint-disable-line no-console

    const statusCode = err.statusCode || 500;
    const data = {
      error: err.message,
      details: err.details
    };

    return sendRes.json(statusCode, data, { 'extra-header': 'kaput' });
  }
};

resHandlers.html(code, body, headers)

Parameters:

Name Required Type Description
code No Number A valid HTTP status code, which defaults to 200.
body No String The payload to be returned as HTML.
headers No Object Any headers to send (in addition to the defaultHeaders) as key-value pairs.

NOTE: Content-Type header is always set as text/html. For working with this function you need to set the "Content-Type" API Gateway response headers to "text/html" as well, for the specific endpoint. Additionally you have to set a response template with value "$input.path('$')".

Returns:

Object.

This is an AWS Lambda conformant HTTP response Object:

{
  headers: {},
  statusCode: 200,
  body: '<html><head><meta charset="utf-8" /></head><body><div>Hello World!</div></body></html>'
}

Usage

const createResHandler = require('@mooncake-dev/lambda-res-handler');
const sendRes = createResHandler();
sendRes.html(
  200,
  '<html><head><meta charset="utf-8" /></head><body><div>Hello World!</div></body></html>'
);

Examples

'use strict';

const createResHandler = require('@mooncake-dev/lambda-res-handler');

const sendRes = createResHandler();

/**
 * Lambda APIG proxy integration.
 *
 * @param {Object} event - HTTP input
 *
 * @return {Object} HTTP output
 */
module.exports.sendData = async event => {
  try {
    const message = 'Hello World';
    const html = `<html><head><meta charset="utf-8" /></head><body><div>${message}</div></body></html>`;
    return sendRes.html(200, html, { 'x-extra-header': true });
  } catch (err) {
    console.log('error: ', err); // eslint-disable-line no-console

    const statusCode = err.statusCode || 500;

    const html = `<html><head><meta charset="utf-8" /></head><body><div>${
      err.message
    }</div></body></html>`;

    return sendRes.json(statusCode, html, { 'extra-header': 'kaput' });
  }
};
