flask-lambda2 2.0.0

Requirements

The main assumption here is that your project can comfortably and reasonably fit into a single endpoint, or you separate your Lambda functions to group certain, related API endpoints together.

Firstly, ensure your Lambda handler is set to project_api.app, where project_api is the filename (excluding the .py extension) containing your project’s API endpoint implementations and where app is the Flask instance (actually a FlaskLambda instance) with which you have added the URL rules onto.

Lastly, ensure that invokation convention from the location you plan to invoke the endpoints from roughly follows the calling convention shown below:

import boto3


client = boto3.client('lambda')
client.invoke(FunctionName='project_api',
              InvocationType='RequestResponse',
              Payload=json.dumps({'route':'/users/',
                                  'method':'get',
                                  'token':'123abc'}))

That’s it!

Tests

Tests are available in Flask-Lambda2/tests through invoking test.py with python test.py. Ensure all dependencies are installed through invoking pip install -r requirements.txt.
