serverless-bundle

An extension of the serverless-webpack plugin. This plugin bundles your Node.js Lambda functions with sensible defaults so you don't have to maintain your own Webpack configs.

• Linting via ESLint
• Caching for faster builds
• Use ES6 import/export
• Supports transpiling unit tests with babel-jest
• Source map support for proper error messages

And all this works without having to install Webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc. or manage any of their configs. Simply add serverless-bundle to your app and you are done!

Getting Started

Install the serverless-bundle plugin using:

$ npm install --save-dev serverless-bundle

Then add it to your serverless.yml.

plugins:
  - serverless-bundle

To run your tests using the same Babel config used in the plugin add the following to your package.json:

"scripts": {
  "test": "serverless-bundle test"
}

Usage

Once installed and added to your serverless.yml, serverless-bundle will automatically package your functions using Webpack when you run the various serverless commands.

Options

You can configure the following through your serverless.yml.

custom:
  bundle:
    sourcemaps: true          # Enable source maps
    caching: true             # Enable Webpack caching
    stats: false              # Don't print out any Webpack output
    linting: true             # Enable linting as a part of the build process
    forceInclude:             # Optional list of NPM packages that need to be included
      - mysql                   # Only necessary if packages are included dynamically
    ignorePackages:           # Ignore building any of the following packages
      - hiredis                 # For ex, hiredis needs to be ignored if using redis
    copyFiles:                # Copy any additional files to the generated package
      - from: 'public/*'        # Where the files are currently
        to: './'                # Where in the package should they go
    packager: npm             # Specify a packager, 'npm' or 'yarn'. Defaults to 'npm'.
    packagerOptions:          # Run a custom script in the package process
      scripts:                  # https://github.com/serverless-heaven/serverless-webpack#custom-scripts
        - echo hello > test

Advanced Options

• ESLint

  This plugin uses eslint-config-strongloop. You can override this by placing your own .eslintrc.json with the rules you'd like to use. If you'd like to ignore specific files, you can use a .eslintignore file.

• Customizing Babel and Webpack configs

  This plugin does not support customizing the Babel and Webpack configs, since serverless-webpack does a pretty good job with that. However, if you think the default config is missing some key features, feel free to open an issue about it.

• Packager scripts

  The packagerOptions.scripts option allows serverless-webpack to run a custom script in the packaging process. This is useful for installing any platform specific binaries. See below for the sharp package.

• Usage with WebStorm

  Here is some info on how to get this plugin to support running tests in WebStorm — AnomalyInnovations#5 (comment)

Package Specific Config

The packages below need some additional config to make them work.

Knex.js

The knex.js module is automatically excluded from the bundle since it's not compatible with Webpack. However, you need to force include the specific database provider package since these are dynamically included. Use the forceInclude option to pass in a list of packages that you want included. For example, to include mysql use the following:

custom:
  bundle:
    forceInclude
      - mysql

sharp

The sharp package needs to include a specific binary before package. Use the packagerOptions.scripts for this.

custom:
  bundle:
    packagerOptions:
      scripts:
        - rm -rf node_modules/sharp && npm install --arch=x64 --platform=linux --target=10.15.0 sharp

pg

The pg package optionally includes pg-native that needs to be ignored from Webpack. Use the ignorePackages option to do this.

custom:
  bundle:
    ignorePackages:
      - pg-native

redis

The redis package optionally includes hiredis that needs to be ignored from Webpack. Use the ignorePackages option to do this.

custom:
  bundle:
    ignorePackages:
      - hiredis

Nested Services

It's common in Serverless monorepo setups that the plugins are installed at the root level and referenced in the individual services. Take the following project setup:

package.json          // Here serverless-bundle is installed
/service1 
  |- package.json     // Can run npm test from here, referring to parent `package.json`
  |- handler.js
  |- handler.test.js
  |- serverless.yml   // Uses serverless-bundle plugin
/service2
  |- package.json     // Can run npm test from here, referring to parent `package.json`
  |- handler.js
  |- handler.test.js
  |- serverless.yml   // Uses serverless-bundle plugin

Running Serverless commands (deploy, package, etc.) from the services directories are supported out of the box. To get your tests to run correctly, you need to do the following.

In the root package.json use the following test script:

"scripts": {
  "test": "serverless-bundle test"
}

And in service1/package.json use this test script:

"scripts": {
  "test": "npm --prefix ./../ test service1"
},

This tells serverless-bundle (in the root) to only run the tests inside the service1/ directory. As opposed to the entire project.

Thanks

This plugin would not be possible without the amazing serverless-webpack plugin and the ideas and code from Create React App.
