+## Asset hash
+
+By default the asset hash will be calculated based on the bundled output (`AssetHashType.OUTPUT`).
+
+Use the `assetHash` prop to pass a custom hash:
+
+```ts
+new lambda.NodejsFunction(this, 'my-handler', {
+  bundling: {
+    assetHash: 'my-custom-hash',
+  },
+});
+```
+
+If you chose to customize the hash, you will need to make sure it is updated every time the asset
+changes, or otherwise it is possible that some deployments will not be invalidated.
