Serverless REST API with DynamoDB and offline support

This example demonstrates how to run a service locally, using the serverless-offline plugin. It provides a REST API to manage Todos stored in a DynamoDB, similar to the aws-node-rest-api-with-dynamodb example. A local DynamoDB instance is provided by the serverless-dynamodb-local plugin.

Use-case

Test your service locally, without having to deploy it first.

Setup

npm install
serverless dynamodb install
serverless offline start
serverless dynamodb migrate (this imports schema)

Run service offline

serverless offline start

Usage

You can create, retrieve, update, or delete todos with the following commands:

Create a Todo

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" http://localhost:3000/todos --data '{ "text": "Learn Serverless" }'

Example Result:

{"text":"Learn Serverless","id":"ee6490d0-aa11e6-9ede-afdfa051af86","createdAt":1479138570824,"checked":false,"updatedAt":1479138570824}%

List all Todos

curl -H "Content-Type:application/json" http://localhost:3000/todos

Example output:

[{"text":"Deploy my first service","id":"ac90feaa11e6-9ede-afdfa051af86","checked":true,"updatedAt":1479139961304},{"text":"Learn Serverless","id":"206793aa11e6-9ede-afdfa051af86","createdAt":1479139943241,"checked":false,"updatedAt":1479139943241}]%

Get one Todo

# Replace the <id> part with a real id from your todos table
curl -H "Content-Type:application/json" http://localhost:3000/todos/<id>

Example Result:

{"text":"Learn Serverless","id":"ee6490d0-aa11e6-9ede-afdfa051af86","createdAt":1479138570824,"checked":false,"updatedAt":1479138570824}%

Update a Todo

# Replace the <id> part with a real id from your todos table
curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type:application/json" http://localhost:3000/todos/<id> --data '{ "text": "Learn Serverless", "checked": true }'

Example Result:

{"text":"Learn Serverless","id":"ee6490d0-aa11e6-9ede-afdfa051af86","createdAt":1479138570824,"checked":true,"updatedAt":1479138570824}%
