Class NodeJsLambda

A construct that simplifies the creation and configuration of a Node.js-based AWS Lambda function.

The NodeJsLambda construct uses the AWS CDK's aws-lambda-nodejs module to bundle and deploy a Node.js Lambda function, with sensible defaults and support for customizing runtime settings, memory, timeout, and environment variables.

This construct is ideal for projects where you need to deploy a TypeScript or JavaScript Lambda function with minimal configuration, while still allowing for detailed customization when necessary.

Example

import { Stack, Duration } from 'aws-cdk-lib';
import { lambda } from '@reuters-graphics/structs';
import { Construct } from 'constructs';

export class MyLambdaStack extends Stack {
  constructor(scope: Construct, id: string) {
    super(scope, id);

    // Define a Node.js Lambda function with specific entry and handler
    const myLambda = new lambda.NodeJsLambda(this, 'MyLambdaFunction', {
      entry: './src/index.ts',
      handler: 'handle',
      runtime: lambda.Runtime.NODEJS_20_X,
      memorySize: 256,
      timeout: Duration.seconds(15),
      environment: {
        NODE_ENV: 'production',
        API_URL: 'https://api.example.com',
      },
    });

    // Access the underlying Lambda function
    const lambdaFunction = myLambda.lambda;
  }
}
