AWS Lambda now supports NodeJS 8.10 , you should only use this plugin if you are not using AWS or cannot upgrade your Lambda Runtime .
Frictionless async await transpiler for Node 0.12 using async-to-gen
Transpile your entire project with async await.
npm install --save-dev serverless-async-await
serverless package
Or
serverless deploy
Both will transpile your code to the temporary folder and then get copied to the .serverless folder.
When running
sls invoke local
the code is not transpiled , instead it uses your native node version.
The plugins will first transpile your code to a temporary __build__
folder, before copying everything to the .serverless
folder.
Unlike typescript plugin and webpack serverless async await will not compiled your code it will only get translated. You can see the test/handlers folder to get an idea of what your code will look like.
Hence Webpack and Typescript makes debugging hell.
If you had a bad experience with those tools, this plugins will save you tons of time and energy with a frictionless transpiling !
The transpiling is ultra lightweight , only 25 characters are added to your code.
Make sure a __build__
folder does not exist when packaging or deploying.
