Lambda PhantomJS Installer
Description / Motivation
This package was created so that PhantomJS can easily be used on AWS Lambda. Due to code size limits on AWS Lambda, it is not always possible to package the preinstalled PhantomJS executable with your code. This package remedies that by allowing you to install PhantomJS from within your AWS Lambda function's code.
Installation
npm install --save lambda-phantomjs-installer
Make sure that you include lambda-phantomjs-installer in the zipfile you upload to AWS lambda so that your AWS Lambda function can find the package
Usage
var PhantomJSInstaller = require( 'lambda-phantomjs-installer' );
var phantomjs_installer = new PhantomJSInstaller();
exports.handler = function( event, context ) {
phantomjs_installer
.install()
.then( function( phantomjs_path ) {
console.log( 'PhantomJS Installed at ' + phantomjs_path );
context.done();
} )
.catch( function( err ) {
context.done( err );
} );
};
See phantomjs_installer.js for more information about options that can be passed to the installer
