Support InputTransformer for Cloudwatch Events

[kumaresansv]

This is a Feature Proposal

Step functions could be launched from a Cloudwatch event. AWS allows us to transform the event data before passing it to the Step Function. This library is missing the usage of InputTransformer https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatchEvents/latest/APIReference/API_InputTransformer.html For feature proposals:

• What is the use case that should be solved. The more detail you describe this in the easier it is to understand for us. Allow transformation of the event input generated by Cloudwatch.

• If there is additional config how would it look events:

  • schedule: name: description: 'Cyclic Daily 8 PM PST' rate: cron(0 4 ? *) inputTransformer: inputPathsMap: '' inputTemplate: '<customInputTemplate'

Additional Data

• Serverless Framework Core Version you're using: 1.24.1
• The Plugin Version you're using: Latest
• Operating System: Windows
• Stack Trace:
• Provider Error messages:

Until this gets fixed here's a temporary workaround you can add to your serverless.yml.

resources:
  Resources:
    MyStepfunctionStepFunctionsEventsRuleSchedule1:
      Properties:
        Targets:
          - Arn:
              Ref: MyStepfunction
            Id: MyStepfunctionStepFunctionsSchedule
            RoleArn:
              Fn::GetAtt:
                - MyStepfunctionScheduleToStepFunctionsRole
                - Arn
            InputTransformer:
              InputPathsMap:
                now: "$.time"
              InputTemplate: '{"now": "<now>", "other": "things", "and": "stuff"}'

I would take this issue over if there's a chance the fix makes it back into the package?
