lawos - Lambda Worker SQS

Library to process messages from an Amazon SQS queue with an AWS Lambda worker function or your favorite other JavaScript environment. Works fine with Serverless …

Examples

• Serverless Amazon SQS Worker with AWS Lambda
• Basic usage with AWS Lambda and Serverless

Install

$ > npm install lawos

Usage

Promise for every message

const AWS = require('aws-sdk');
const SQS = new AWS.SQS({apiVersion: '2012-11-05'});

const Lawos = require('lawos');
const Q = new Lawos('https://sqs.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com …', SQS);

Q.item(
  item => new Promise(done => {
    done();
  })
);

module.exports.handler = function(event, context, callback) {
  Q.work(
    () => Promise.resolve(context.getRemainingTimeInMillis() < 500)
  ).then(
    data => {
      callback(null, data);
    }
  );
};

Promise for a batch of messages

const AWS = require('aws-sdk');
const SQS = new AWS.SQS({apiVersion: '2012-11-05'});

const Lawos = require('lawos');
const Q = new Lawos('https://sqs.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com …', SQS);

Q.list(
  list => new Promise(done => {
    done();
  })
);

module.exports.handler = function(event, context, callback) {
  Q.work(
    () => Promise.resolve(context.getRemainingTimeInMillis() < 500)
  ).then(
    data => {
      callback(null, data);
    }
  );
};

Use AWS Lambda instead of Promise

const AWS = require('aws-sdk');
const Lawos = require('lawos');

const Lambda = new AWS.Lambda({apiVersion: '2015-03-31'});
const SQS = new AWS.SQS({apiVersion: '2012-11-05'});

const Q = new Lawos('https://sqs.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com …', SQS, Lambda);

Q.item('fake-function-name');
// Q.list('fake-function-name');

module.exports.handler = function(event, context, callback) {
  Q.work(
    () => Promise.resolve(context.getRemainingTimeInMillis() < 500)
  ).then(
    data => {
      callback(null, data);
    }
  );
};
