Run Hapi server on AWS Lambda

Install

npm install --save @tepez/hapi-lambda-handler

Usage

// handler.js
const HapiLambdaHandler = require('@tepez/hapi-lambda-handler');
const Hapi = require('hapi');

cosnt server = new Hapi.Server();
server.connection({});
server.route({
    method: 'GET',
    path: '/health',
    handler: (request, reply) => reply({ status: 'ok' })
});

exports.handler = HapiLambdaHandler.handlerFromServer(server);

API

handlerFromServer(server, [injectOptions])

Return a Lambda Proxy handler function that handles event, context and callback as passed by a lambda-proxy integration of AWS Api Gateway.

• server: The Hapi server or a promise to it if it has to be initialized first.

  It is the responsibility of the using package to report initialization errors in the server. If the promise to the server rejects, 500 errors will be returned for every request.

• injectOptions:

  • basePath: string

    If the API is deployed under a custom path mapping this should be the basePath, e.g. '/v1.0'.

  • modifyRequest: (event: APIGatewayEvent, context: Context, request: ServerInjectOptions) => void

    A synchronous callback receiving the event, the context and the request just before injecting it to the Hapi server. This is a chance to modify the request in-place, e.g. to apply credentials to it.

Request tail

Sometimes we need to wait for some processes to finish before returning the response to APIGateway, e.g. report an error to Sentry.

Hapi 17 dropped support for request tails, which was the method we used before.

You can create an array of promises on request.app.tailPromises, the handler will wait for them with Promise.all() before returning the response.

function handler(request: IRequestWithTailPromises) => {
    // ...
    if (!request.app.tailPromises) request.app.tailPromises = [];
    request.app.tailPromises.push(somePromise);
}
