invoke.md

Apex allows you to invoke functions from the command-line, optionally passing a JSON event or stream to STDIN.

Examples

Invoke without an event:

$ apex invoke collect-stats

Invoke with JSON event:

$ echo -n '{ "value": "Tobi the ferret" }' | apex invoke uppercase
{ "value": "TOBI THE FERRET" }

Invoke from a file:

$ apex invoke uppercase < event.json

Invoke a with stdin clipboard data:

$ pbpaste | apex invoke auth

Invoke function in a different project:

$ pbpaste | apex -C path/to/project invoke auth

Streaming invokes making multiple requests, generating data with phony:

$ echo -n '{ "user": "{{name}}" }' | phony | apex invoke uppercase
{"user":"DELMER MALONE"}
{"user":"JC REEVES"}
{"user":"LUNA FLETCHER"}
...

Streaming invokes making multiple requests and outputting the response logs:

$ echo -n '{ "user": "{{name}}" }' | phony | apex invoke uppercase --logs
