This library provides constructs for Node.js Lambda functions.

## Node.js Function

The `NodejsFunction` construct creates a Lambda function with automatic transpiling and bundling
of TypeScript or Javascript code. This results in smaller Lambda packages that contain only the
code and dependencies needed to run the function.

It uses [esbuild](https://esbuild.github.io/) under the hood.

## Reference project architecture

The `NodejsFunction` allows you to define your CDK and runtime dependencies in a single
package.json and to collocate your runtime code with your infrastructure code:

```plaintext
.
├── lib
│   ├── my-construct.api.ts # Lambda handler for API
│   ├── my-construct.auth.ts # Lambda handler for Auth
│   └── my-construct.ts # CDK construct with two Lambda functions
├── package-lock.json # single lock file
├── package.json # CDK and runtime dependencies defined in a single package.json
└── tsconfig.json
```

By default, the construct will use the name of the defining file and the construct's
id to look up the entry file. In `my-construct.ts` above we have:

```python
# Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
# automatic entry look up
api_handler = lambda_.NodejsFunction(self, "api")
auth_handler = lambda_.NodejsFunction(self, "auth")
```

Alternatively, an entry file and handler can be specified:

```python
# Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
lambda_.NodejsFunction(self, "MyFunction",
    entry="/path/to/my/file.ts", # accepts .js, .jsx, .ts and .tsx files
    handler="myExportedFunc"
)
```

For monorepos, the reference architecture becomes:

```plaintext
.
├── packages
│   ├── cool-package
│   │   ├── lib
│   │   │   ├── cool-construct.api.ts
│   │   │   ├── cool-construct.auth.ts
│   │   │   └── cool-construct.ts
│   │   ├── package.json # CDK and runtime dependencies for cool-package
│   │   └── tsconfig.json
│   └── super-package
│       ├── lib
│       │   ├── super-construct.handler.ts
│       │   └── super-construct.ts
│       ├── package.json # CDK and runtime dependencies for super-package
│       └── tsconfig.json
├── package-lock.json # single lock file
├── package.json # root dependencies
└── tsconfig.json
```

## Customizing the underlying Lambda function

All properties of `lambda.Function` can be used to customize the underlying `lambda.Function`.

See also the [AWS Lambda construct library](https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/tree/master/packages/%40aws-cdk/aws-lambda).

The `NodejsFunction` construct automatically [reuses existing connections](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-javascript/v2/developer-guide/node-reusing-connections.html)
when working with the AWS SDK for JavaScript. Set the `awsSdkConnectionReuse` prop to `false` to disable it.

## Lock file

The `NodejsFunction` requires a dependencies lock file (`yarn.lock`, `pnpm-lock.yaml` or
`package-lock.json`). When bundling in a Docker container, the path containing this lock file is
used as the source (`/asset-input`) for the volume mounted in the container.

By default, the construct will try to automatically determine your project lock file.
Alternatively, you can specify the `depsLockFilePath` prop manually. In this
case you need to ensure that this path includes `entry` and any module/dependencies
used by your function. Otherwise bundling will fail.

## Local bundling

If `esbuild` is available it will be used to bundle your code in your environment. Otherwise,
bundling will happen in a [Lambda compatible Docker container](https://gallery.ecr.aws/sam/build-nodejs12.x).

For macOS the recommendend approach is to install `esbuild` as Docker volume performance is really poor.

`esbuild` can be installed with:

```console
$ npm install --save-dev esbuild@0
```

OR

```console
$ yarn add --dev esbuild@0
```

To force bundling in a Docker container even if `esbuild` is available in your environment,
set `bundling.forceDockerBundling` to `true`. This is useful if your function relies on node
modules that should be installed (`nodeModules` prop, see [below](#install-modules)) in a Lambda
compatible environment. This is usually the case with modules using native dependencies.

## Working with modules

### Externals

By default, all node modules are bundled except for `aws-sdk`. This can be configured by specifying
`bundling.externalModules`:

```python
# Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
lambda_.NodejsFunction(self, "my-handler",
    bundling={
        "external_modules": ["aws-sdk", "cool-module"
        ]
    }
)
```

### Install modules

By default, all node modules referenced in your Lambda code will be bundled by `esbuild`.
Use the `nodeModules` prop under `bundling` to specify a list of modules that should not be
bundled but instead included in the `node_modules` folder of the Lambda package. This is useful
when working with native dependencies or when `esbuild` fails to bundle a module.

```python
# Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
lambda_.NodejsFunction(self, "my-handler",
    bundling={
        "node_modules": ["native-module", "other-module"]
    }
)
```

The modules listed in `nodeModules` must be present in the `package.json`'s dependencies or
installed. The same version will be used for installation. The lock file (`yarn.lock`,
`pnpm-lock.yaml` or `package-lock.json`) will be used along with the right installer (`yarn`,
`pnpm` or `npm`).

When working with `nodeModules` using native dependencies, you might want to force bundling in a
Docker container even if `esbuild` is available in your environment. This can be done by setting
`bundling.forceDockerBundling` to `true`.

## Configuring `esbuild`

The `NodejsFunction` construct exposes some [esbuild options](https://esbuild.github.io/api/#build-api)
via properties under `bundling`:

```python
# Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
lambda_.NodejsFunction(self, "my-handler",
    bundling={
        "minify": True, # minify code, defaults to false
        "source_map": True, # include source map, defaults to false
        "source_map_mode": SourceMapMode.INLINE, # defaults to SourceMapMode.DEFAULT
        "target": "es2020", # target environment for the generated JavaScript code
        "loader": {# Use the 'dataurl' loader for '.png' files
            ".png": "dataurl"},
        "define": {# Replace strings during build time
            "process.env._aPI__kEY": JSON.stringify("xxx-xxxx-xxx"),
            "process.env._pRODUCTION": JSON.stringify(True),
            "process.env._nUMBER": JSON.stringify(123)},
        "log_level": LogLevel.SILENT, # defaults to LogLevel.WARNING
        "keep_names": True, # defaults to false
        "tsconfig": "custom-tsconfig.json", # use custom-tsconfig.json instead of default,
        "metafile": True, # include meta file, defaults to false
        "banner": "/* comments */", # requires esbuild >= 0.9.0, defaults to none
        "footer": "/* comments */"
    }
)
```

## Command hooks

It is possible to run additional commands by specifying the `commandHooks` prop:

```python
# Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
lambda_.NodejsFunction(self, "my-handler-with-commands",
    bundling={
        "command_hooks": {
            # Copy a file so that it will be included in the bundled asset
            def after_bundling(self, input_dir, output_dir): return [f"cp {inputDir}/my-binary.node {outputDir}"]
        }
    }
)
```

The following hooks are available:

* `beforeBundling`: runs before all bundling commands
* `beforeInstall`: runs before node modules installation
* `afterBundling`: runs after all bundling commands

They all receive the directory containing the lock file (`inputDir`) and the
directory where the bundled asset will be output (`outputDir`). They must return
an array of commands to run. Commands are chained with `&&`.

The commands will run in the environment in which bundling occurs: inside the
container for Docker bundling or on the host OS for local bundling.

## Customizing Docker bundling

Use `bundling.environment` to define environments variables when `esbuild` runs:

```python
# Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
lambda_.NodejsFunction(self, "my-handler",
    bundling={
        "environment": {
            "NODE_ENV": "production"
        }
    }
)
```

Use `bundling.buildArgs` to pass build arguments when building the Docker bundling image:

```python
# Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
lambda_.NodejsFunction(self, "my-handler",
    bundling={
        "build_args": {
            "HTTPS_PROXY": "https://127.0.0.1:3001"
        }
    }
)
```

Use `bundling.dockerImage` to use a custom Docker bundling image:

```python
# Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
lambda_.NodejsFunction(self, "my-handler",
    bundling={
        "docker_image": cdk.DockerImage.from_build("/path/to/Dockerfile")
    }
)
```

This image should have `esbuild` installed **globally**. If you plan to use `nodeModules` it
should also have `npm`, `yarn` or `pnpm` depending on the lock file you're using.

Use the [default image provided by `@aws-cdk/aws-lambda-nodejs`](https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/blob/master/packages/%40aws-cdk/aws-lambda-nodejs/lib/Dockerfile)
as a source of inspiration.
