Overview

Kotlin Serverless (API) Framework helps to rapidly build and deploy a serverless API Make minor changes in order to simply add your new endpoint Easily deploy locally or to production via a simple script Deploy process also runs all tests

Tech stack:

• Serverless, Kotlin, Spek. Todo:
• postgres (auroraserverless), circleci

Install

1. Install it using npm:

git clone [email protected]:thejnaut1/ncnt.git
cd ncnt/kotlin/kotlin-serverless
npm install serverless -g
npm init -f
npm install

2. Create your project in serverless.com

3. To configure your AWS credentials execute serverless config credentials --provider aws --key EXAMPLE --secret EXAMPLEKEY

4. mvn clean install

5. ./start.sh

Forking

Since this is a template/framework, you are expected to fork. In order to add new api endpoint (To non existing object class)

• Add a folder under /src/main/{object_name} and add under it (models, services)
• Add your appropriate model under models, similar to User.kt
• Update the RequestDispatcher.locate (when statement) if you are adding a new service/model
• Add {object_name}Service.kt (This will have your new functionality)
• If you are adding a new non standard CRUD endpoint, simply add it as a method {method_name}
• Edit serverless.yml

functions:
  {object_name}:
    handler: kotlinserverless.framework.Handler
    events:
      - http:
          path: /{object_name}/{method_name}
          method: get #get/post/etc

• Edit /src/main/resources/routes.yml

# =========================
  # {object_name} Microservice
  # =========================
  
  - regex: '^/{object_name}(/*[a-zA-Z0-9]*)?'
    model: main.{object_name}s.models.{Object_name}
    controller: main.{object_name}s.controllers.{Object_name}Controller

• Add appropriate Unit test to /main/test/unit
• test via

mvn clean test

if you wish to make changes to an existing object, simply:

• add new function to the appropriate service
• add new unit test
• update the serverless.yml

Deploy

• Locally

   ./start.sh local

• Production

   ./start.sh production
