RequestService

Provides access to components of the HTTP request being handled.

Usage

Since Lambda Wrapper v2, the RequestService instance is no longer passed as an argument to your wrapped handler, and must be obtained via di.

import lambdaWrapper, { RequestService } from '@comicrelief/lambda-wrapper';

export default lambdaWrapper.wrap(async (di) => {
  const request = di.get(RequestService);
  // get the 'name' request parameter, defaulting to 'world' if not set
  const name = request.get('name', 'world');
  return ResponseModel.generate({}, 200, `Hello, ${name}`);
});
