using-npm-modules

A trivial Node.js microservice example, that just returns a different superlative message each time, as a demonstration of using external NPM modules packaged with the Lambda function. (In this case, the superlatives come from the Superb NPM module.

To try it out, first set up the credentials, then:

1. run npm install to grab the dependencies
2. run npm start to set up the lambda project under the default name on AWS
3. run npm test to execute the lambda from the command line and print the output on the console

Re-run the test again to see a different message. Check out the package.json scripts section to see how Claudia gets invoked for the start and test scripts. Check out the main.js file to see how the Lambda function works. For a bit more fun, modify the code in main.js, then run npm run deploy to deploy the code to AWS, then run the test again to see the change.
