aws lambda function with nodejs project

I have a Node project written in TypeScript where the application takes in user's input arguments and does some calculation and prints out the results. Take the example of a calculator the user inputs value of two numbers and it prints out the addition of two numbers. for example npm run calc 3 5. The application prints out 8.

The application is working but i want to make this an aws lambda function and deploy it in aws. The examples i see everywhere is hello lambda function. Can anyone help me how i can make a handler and deploy it to aws?

How do i convert the below hello function to a calc lambda function and deploy it to aws?

export const hello: Handler = (event: APIGatewayEvent, context: Context, cb:             
Callback) => {
const response = {
statusCode: 200,
body: JSON.stringify({
message: 'Go Serverless Webpack (Typescript) v1.0! Your function executed 
successfully!',
  input: event,
}),
};

cb(null, response);
}

Open in new window

This is my addition class

export class Calc {
public static add(){

    console.log( this.addition( (process.argv[0] + process.argv[1] ));

}
public static addition(num1:number, num2:number)
{
    return num1 + num2;
}

I have not done this but I would imagine it is something like this

import {Handler, Context, Callback } from 'aws-lambda';
import { Calc } from '../wherever/calc/class/is';

const hello: Handler = (event: any, context: Context, cb: Callback) => {
   // Update event.num1 and event.num2 to match your incoming values
   let answer = Calc.addition(event.num1, event.num2);
   cb(null, answer);
}
// finally export your function
export { hello }

Doesn't work. Thanks for your reply.

It wasn't posted as a solution - just a guideline. I have no way of testing it.

On EE the standard practice when something does not work is to supply more information. What you implemented, what errors you received (if any).

Your last response does not allow us to take this forward.

When I invoke the handler , it doesn't recognize the Calc class and it gives the compiler errors. One of them is ";" is missing even when the syntax is correct.

Julian Hansen

If it is reporting errors then there are errors - you can't argue with the compiler - you will lose.

Are you importing the class correctly - is the path correct?

Yes. It is not a coding error.
