Serverless Node.js Project Skeleton

npm GitHub Actions

Package skeleton for a Node.js Serverless project on AWS Lambda.

Description

Bootstrap a new Node.js Serverless project in five minutes or less.

Features

Bootstrapping a new project

  1. Create an empty (non-initialized) repository on GitHub.
  2. Clone the master branch of this repository with
    $ git clone --single-branch git@github.com:makenew/serverless-nodejs.git <new-node-lib>
    $ cd <new-node-lib>
    
    Optionally, reset to the latest version with
    $ git reset --hard <version-tag>
    
  3. Run
    $ ./makenew.sh
    
    This will replace the boilerplate, delete itself, remove the git remote, remove upstream tags, and stage changes for commit.
  4. Create the required GitHub repository secrets.
  5. Review, commit, and push the changes to GitHub with
    $ git diff --cached
    $ git commit -m "Replace makenew boilerplate"
    $ git remote add origin git@github.com:<user>/<new-node-lib>.git
    $ git push -u origin master
    
  6. Ensure the GitHub action passes, then publish the initial version of the package with
    $ nvm install
    $ yarn install
    $ npm version patch
    
  7. Ensure a valid certificate exists in AWS Certificate Manager that matches the custom deployment domains, e.g., this project uses a wildcard certificate for *.serverless-nodejs.makenew.razorx.app. Then trigger a deploy to the stg stage with
    $ yarn run release:staging
    

Updating from this skeleton

If you want to pull in future updates from this skeleton, you can fetch and merge in changes from this repository.

Add this as a new remote with

$ git remote add upstream git@github.com:makenew/serverless-nodejs.git

You can then fetch and merge changes with

$ git fetch --no-tags upstream
$ git merge upstream/master

Changelog for this skeleton

Note that CHANGELOG.md is just a template for this skeleton. The actual changes for this project are documented in the commit history and summarized under Releases.

Installation

Add this as a dependency to your project using npm with

$ npm install @makenew/serverless-nodejs

or using Yarn with

$ yarn add @makenew/serverless-nodejs

Development and Testing

Quickstart

$ git clone https://github.com/makenew/serverless-nodejs.git
$ cd serverless-nodejs
$ nvm install
$ yarn install

Run the command below in a separate terminal window:

$ yarn run test:watch

Primary development tasks are defined under scripts in package.json and available via yarn run. View them with

$ yarn run

Source code

The source code is hosted on GitHub. Clone the project with

$ git clone git@github.com:makenew/serverless-nodejs.git

Requirements

You will need Node.js with npm, Yarn, and a Node.js debugging client.

Be sure that all commands run under the correct Node version, e.g., if using nvm, install the correct version with

$ nvm install

Set the active version for each shell session with

$ nvm use

Install the development dependencies with

$ yarn install

Publishing

Use the npm version command to release a new version. This will push a new git tag which will trigger a GitHub action.

Publishing may be triggered using on the web using a version workflow_dispatch on GitHub Actions.

Deployment

Serverless deployment is triggered by a release repository_dispatch on GitHub Actions.

Ensure a GITHUB_TOKEN is set in your environment and use yarn run release:<environment> to do this automatically, e.g.,

$ yarn run release:staging
$ yarn run release:production

Deployment may be triggered using on the web using a release workflow_dispatch on GitHub Actions.

GitHub Actions

GitHub Actions should already be configured: this section is for reference only.

The following repository secrets must be set on GitHub Actions:

  • NPM_TOKEN: npm token for installing and publishing packages.
  • AWS_DEFAULT_REGION: The AWS region Serverless will deploy to.
  • AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: AWS access key ID.
  • AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: AWS secret access key.
  • GH_TOKEN: A personal access token that can trigger workflows.

These must be set manually.

Secrets for Optional GitHub Actions

The version and format GitHub actions require a user with write access to the repository. including access to trigger workflows. Set these additional secrets to enable the action:

  • GH_USER: The GitHub user's username.
  • GH_TOKEN: A personal access token for the user.
  • GIT_USER_NAME: The GitHub user's real name.
  • GIT_USER_EMAIL: The GitHub user's email.
  • GPG_PRIVATE_KEY: The GitHub user's GPG private key.
  • GPG_PASSPHRASE: The GitHub user's GPG passphrase.
