Installation

npm install @twilio-labs/serverless-api

Example

If you want to deploy a local project you can do this using:

const { TwilioServerlessApiClient } = require("@twilio-labs/serverless-api");

const client = new TwilioServerlessApiClient({
  accountSid: "...",
  authToken: "..."
});

client.on("status-update", evt => {
  console.log(evt.message);
});

const result = await client.deployLocalProject({
  cwd: "...",
  envPath: "...",
  accountSid: "...",
  authToken: "...",
  env: {},
  pkgJson: {},
  serviceName: "serverless-example",
  functionsEnv: "dev",
  assetsFolderName: "static",
  functionsFolderName: "src"
});

When deploying lots of Functions and Assets it is possible to run up against the enforced concurrency limits of the Twilio API. You can limit the concurrency and set how many times the library retries API requests either in the constructor for TwilioServerlessApiClient or using environment variables (useful when this is part of a CLI tool like twilio-run).

The default concurrency is 50 and the default number of retries is 10. You can change this in the config, the following would set concurrency to 1, only 1 live request at a time, and retries to 0, so if it fails it won't retry.

const client = new TwilioServerlessApiClient({
  accountSid: '...',
  authToken: '...',
  concurrency: 1,
  retryLimit: 0
};);

You can also set these values with the following environment variables:

export TWILIO_SERVERLESS_API_CONCURRENCY=1
export TWILIO_SERVERLESS_API_RETRY_LIMIT=0

Usage with proxy

HTTP_PROXY: If deploying behind a proxy, set the URL of the proxy in an environment variable called HTTP_PROXY.

API

You can find the full reference documentation of everything at: https://serverless-api.twilio-labs.com

Some functions you might want to check out is:

`client.activateBuild(activateConfig: ActivateConfig): Promise<ActivateResult>`

"Activates" a build by taking a specified build SID or a "source environment" and activating the same build in the specified environment.

More in the Docs

`client.deployLocalProject(deployConfig: DeployLocalProjectConfig): Promise<DeployResult>`

Deploys a local project by reading existing functions and assets from deployConfig.cwd and calling this.deployProject with it.

Functions have to be placed in a functions or src directory to be found. Assets have to be placed into an assets or static directory.

Nested folder structures will result in nested routes.

More in the Docs

`client.deployProject(deployConfig: DeployProjectConfig): Promise<DeployResult>`

Deploys a set of functions, assets, variables and dependencies specified in deployConfig. Functions & assets can either be paths to the local filesystem or Buffer instances allowing you to dynamically upload even without a file system.

Unless a deployConfig. serviceSid is specified, it will try to create one. If a service with the name deployConfig.serviceName already exists, it will throw an error. You can make it use the existing service by setting overrideExistingService to true.

Updates to the deployment will be emitted as events to status-update.

const result = await client.deployProject({
  env: {},
  pkgJson: {},
  serviceName: "serverless-example",
  functionsEnv: "dev",
  functions: [
    {
      name: "hello-world",
      path: "/hello-world-path",
      content: await readFile(path.join(__dirname, "some-dir", "handler.js")),
      access: "public"
    }
  ],
  assets: [
    {
      name: "image",
      path: "/foo/image.jpg",
      access: "public",
      content: await readFile(path.join(__dirname, "another-dir", "image.jpg"))
    }
  ]
});

More in the Docs

`client.getClient(): GotClient`

Returns the internally used GotClient instance used to make API requests

More in the Docs

`client.list(listConfig: ListConfig): Promise<ListResult>`

Returns an object containing lists of services, environments, variables functions or assets, depending on which have beeen requested in listConfig

`api` and `fsHelpers`

There's also a variety of small helper libraries that you can find more details on https://serverless-api.twilio-labs.com.

You can consume them in two ways:

const { fsHelpers, api, utils } = require("@twilio-labs/serverless-api");
// or
const fsHelpers = require("@twilio-labs/serverless-api/dist/utils/fs");
const api = require("@twilio-labs/serverless-api/dist/api");
const utils = require("@twilio-labs/serverless-api/dist/utils");
