# B.CfnLambdaLayer

![Pipeline](https://github.com/Biomapas/B.CfnLambdaLayer/workflows/Pipeline/badge.svg?branch=master)

Easy lambda dependency management is here!<br> This is an AWS CDK resource that acts as a
`LayerVersion` resource but with more convenient approach to specify and bundle dependencies.

### Description

AWS CDK already makes it incredibly simple to package code for lambda functions and 
layers by exposing `Code` resource and methods like `Code.from_asset()`. However, it is very
difficult to add additional dependencies to your layer code e.g. `jose`, `requests`, newer `boto3` library, etc.
This custom layer resource makes packaging code with dependencies extremely simple like 2 + 2! You 
simply specify a dictionary of dependencies to include and this resource will do the rest.
<br><br>
You should note that this resource uses `docker` to bundle code and dependencies.

### Remarks

[Biomapas](https://www.biomapas.com/) aims to modernise life-science industry by sharing its IT knowledge with other companies and the community. 
This is an open source library intended to be used by anyone. 
Improvements and pull requests are welcome.

### Assumptions

This project assumes you know what Lambda functions are and how code is being shared between them
(Lambda layers). 

- Excellent knowledge in IaaC (Infrastructure as a Code) principles.
- Excellent knowledge in Lambda functions and Lambda layers.  
- Good experience in AWS CDK and AWS CloudFormation.
- Good Python skills and basis of OOP.

### Install

Before installing this library, ensure you have these tools setup:

- Python / Pip
- AWS CDK
- Docker

To install this project from source run:

```
pip install .
```


Or you can install it from a PyPi repository:

```
pip install b-cfn-lambda-layer
```


### Usage & Examples

The most convenient feature of this resource is easy dependency management. When creating a new layer
you simply supply a dictionary of dependencies, and they will be installed and packaged to you layer
at a deployment level:

```python
from b_cfn_lambda_layer.package_version import PackageVersion

dependencies = {
    'python-jose': PackageVersion.from_string_version('3.3.0'),
    'boto3': PackageVersion.from_string_version('1.16.35'),
    'botocore': PackageVersion.from_string_version('1.19.35')
}
```

This is a full example where we create a lambda layer and use it in lambda function.

```python
from aws_cdk.aws_lambda import Function, Code, Runtime
from aws_cdk.core import Stack

from b_cfn_lambda_layer.lambda_layer import LambdaLayer
from b_cfn_lambda_layer.package_version import PackageVersion

# Create layer with custom dependencies.
layer = LambdaLayer(
    scope=Stack(...),
    name='TestLayer',
    # You can conveniently specify path to source code to include.
    source_path='/path/to/your/layer/source/code',
    code_runtimes=[Runtime.PYTHON_3_6, Runtime.PYTHON_3_7, Runtime.PYTHON_3_8],
    # You can conveniently specify dependencies to include.
    dependencies={
        'python-jose': PackageVersion.from_string_version('3.3.0'),
        'boto3': PackageVersion.from_string_version('1.16.35'),
        'botocore': PackageVersion.from_string_version('1.19.35')
    }
)

# Create a function with a layer.
Function(
    scope=Stack(...),
    id='MyFunction',
    code=Code.from_asset('/path/to/lambda/function/code'),
    handler='index.handler',
    runtime=Runtime.PYTHON_3_6,
    # Specify layers.
    layers=[layer]
)
```

### Testing

This package has integration tests based on **pytest**.
To run tests simply run:

```
pytest b_cfn_lambda_layer_test/integration/tests
```
