node-lambda and Webpack

[merland]

From the readme:

The --prebuiltDirectory flag is useful for working with Webpack for example. It skips npm install --> production and post_install.sh and simply packages the specified directory.

Where can I find more info about how to configure Webpack for use with node-lambda and the prebuiltDirectory flag? Simply placing the Webpack bundle.js in the prebuiltDirectory won't work. Anyone have an example?

Hey,

So there are a few little setup config values you are going to need to set.

In Webpack

• target='node'
• output: {..., libraryTarget: 'umd'}

In your node-lambda .env/deploy-env

• PACKAGE_DIRECTORY=[bundle folder]
• AWS_HANDLER=[path to file without file extension].[name of exported function]

This let me run the script for testing. Still have to deploy my script so I'll update if there is anything I missed.
