.NET Core CLI

The .NET Core CLI offers a cross-platform way for you to create .NET-based Lambda applications. This section assumes that you have installed the .NET Core CLI. If you haven't, see Download .NET on the Microsoft website.

In the .NET CLI, you use the new command to create .NET projects from a command line. This is useful if you want to create a project outside of Visual Studio. To view a list of the available project types, open a command line and navigate to where you installed the .NET Core runtime and run the following command:

dotnet new -all
Usage: new [options]

Templates                                         Short Name         Language          Tags

Class library                                     classlib           [C#], F#, VB      Common/Library                   
Unit Test Project                                 mstest             [C#], F#, VB      Test/MSTest                      
xUnit Test Project                                xunit              [C#], F#, VB      Test/xUnit

Examples:
    dotnet new mvc --auth Individual
    dotnet new viewstart
    dotnet new --help

Lambda offers additional templates via the Amazon.Lambda.Templates nuget package. To install this package, run the following command:

dotnet new -i Amazon.Lambda.Templates

Once the install is complete, the Lambda templates show up as part of dotnet new. To examine details about a template, use the help option.

dotnet new lambda.EmptyFunction --help

The lambda.EmptyFunction template supports the following options:

  • --name – The name of the function
  • --profile – The name of a profile in your AWS SDK for .NET credentials file
  • --region – The AWS Region to create the function in

These options are saved to a file named aws-lambda-tools-defaults.json.

Create a function project with the lambda.EmptyFunction template.

dotnet new lambda.EmptyFunction --name MyFunction

Under the src/myfunction directory, examine the following files:

  • aws-lambda-tools-defaults.json: This is where you specify the command line options when deploying your Lambda function. For example:

      "profile" : "default",
  "region" : "us-east-2",
  "configuration" : "Release",
  "framework" : "netcoreapp2.1",
  "function-runtime":"dotnetcore3.1",
  "function-memory-size" : 256,
  "function-timeout" : 30,
  "function-handler" : "MyFunction::MyFunction.Function::FunctionHandler"

  • Function.cs: Your Lambda handler function code. It's a C# template that includes the default Amazon.Lambda.Core library and a default LambdaSerializer attribute. For more information on serialization requirements and options, see Serializing Lambda functions. It also includes a sample function that you can edit to apply your Lambda function code.

    using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

using Amazon.Lambda.Core;

// Assembly attribute to enable the Lambda function's JSON input to be converted into a .NET class.
[assembly: LambdaSerializer(typeof(Amazon.Lambda.Serialization.Json.JsonSerializer))]

namespace MyFunction
{
    public class Function
    {      
      
        public string FunctionHandler1(string input, ILambdaContext context)
        {
            return input?.ToUpper();
        }
    }
}

  • MyFunction.csproj: An MSBuild file that lists the files and assemblies that comprise your application.

    <Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.1</TargetFramework>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Amazon.Lambda.Core" Version="1.0.0 " />
    <PackageReference Include="Amazon.Lambda.Serialization.Json" Version="1.3.0" />
  </ItemGroup>

</Project>

  • Readme: Use this file to document your Lambda function.

Under the myfunction/test directory, examine the following files:

  • myFunction.Tests.csproj: As noted previously, this is an MSBuild file that lists the files and assemblies that comprise your test project. Note also that it includes the Amazon.Lambda.Core library, allowing you to seamlessly integrate any Lambda templates required to test your function.

    <Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
   ... 

    <PackageReference Include="Amazon.Lambda.Core" Version="1.0.0 " />
   ...

  • FunctionTest.cs: The same C# code template file that it is included in the src directory. Edit this file to mirror your function's production code and test it before uploading your Lambda function to a production environment.

    using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

using Xunit;
using Amazon.Lambda.Core;
using Amazon.Lambda.TestUtilities;

using MyFunction;

namespace MyFunction.Tests
{
    public class FunctionTest
    {
        [Fact]
        public void TestToUpperFunction()
        {

            // Invoke the lambda function and confirm the string was upper cased.
            var function = new Function();
            var context = new TestLambdaContext();
            var upperCase = function.FunctionHandler("hello world", context);

            Assert.Equal("HELLO WORLD", upperCase);
        }
    }
}

Once your function has passed its tests, you can build and deploy using the Amazon.Lambda.Tools .NET Core Global Tool. To install the .NET Core Global Tool, run the following command:

dotnet tool install -g Amazon.Lambda.Tools

If you already have the tool installed, you can make sure that it is the latest version using the following command:

dotnet tool update -g Amazon.Lambda.Tools

For more information about the Amazon.Lambda.Tools .NET Core Global Tool, see the AWS Extensions for .NET CLI repository on GitHub.

With the Amazon.Lambda.Tools installed, you can deploy your function using the following command:

dotnet lambda deploy-function MyFunction --function-role role

After deployment, you can re-test it in a production environment using the following command, and pass in a different value to your Lambda function handler:

The cli-binary-format option is required if you are using AWS CLI version 2. You can also configure this option in your AWS CLI config file.

dotnet lambda invoke-function MyFunction --cli-binary-format raw-in-base64-out --payload "Just Checking If Everything is OK"

If everything is successful, you see the following:

dotnet lambda invoke-function MyFunction --cli-binary-format raw-in-base64-out --payload "Just Checking If Everything is OK"
Payload:
"JUST CHECKING IF EVERYTHING IS OK"
