SDK for Node.js

Tencentcloud-Serverless-Nodejs SDK Overview

Tencentcloud-Serverless-Nodejs is a Tencent Cloud SCF SDK that integrates SCF business flow APIs to simplify the invoke function. Users can invoke a function quickly from a local system, CVM instance, container or function, eliminating the need to encapsulate APIs in a public cloud.

Features

Tencentcloud-Serverless-Nodejs SDK has the following features:

• It can invoke functions in a high-performance, low-latency manner.
• It enables quick invocation across functions after the required parameters are entered (it will obtain parameters in environment variables by default, such as region and secretId).
• It supports access with private network domain names.
• It supports session keep-alive.
• It supports cross-region function invocation.

Quick Start

Preparing for development

• Development environment
  Node.js 8.9 or a higher version has been installed.
• Operating environment
  Windows, Linux, or macOS with tencentcloud-serverless-nodejs SDK have been installed.
• We recommend that you install SCF CLI to deploy local functions rapidly.

Installing the tencentcloud-serverless-nodejs SDK

Installing via npm (recommend)

1. Select the directory path as needed and create a directory under it.
   For example, you can create a project directory named testNodejsSDK in the /Users/xxx/Desktop/testNodejsSDK path.
2. Enter the testNodejsSDK directory and run the following commands in sequence to install tencentcloud-serverless-nodejs SDK.

   npm init -y
   npm install tencentcloud-serverless-nodejs

   After installation, you can see node_modules, package.json, and package-lock.json in the testNodejsSDK directory.

Installing via source package

Go to the GitHub code hosting page to download the latest source package and install it after decompression.

Chaining functions

Example

• To chain functions in different regions, you must specify regions. For naming rules, see Region List.
• If no region is specified, functions will be chained within the same region by default.
• If no namespace is specified, default will be used by default.

1. Create a to-be-invoked Node.js function named "FuncInvoked" in the region of Beijing. The content of the function is as follows:

   'use strict';
   exports.main_handler = async (event, context, callback) => {
      console.log("\n Hello World from the function being invoked\n")
      console.log(event)
      console.log(event["non-exist"])
      return event
   };

2. Create an index.js file in the testNodejsSDK directory and enter the following sample code to create an invoking Node.js function.

   const sdk = require('tencentcloud-serverless-nodejs')
   exports.main_handler = async (event,context,callback)=>{
      sdk.init({
          region: 'ap-beijing'
      }) // If the SDK is running in SCF, secretId and secretKey are not required during initialization
   
      console.log('prepare to invoke a function!')
      const res = await sdk.invoke({
          functionName: 'FuncInvoked',
          qualifier: '$LATEST',
          data: JSON.stringify({
              key:'value'
          }),
          namespace:'default'
      })
      console.log(res)
      //return res
      return 'Already invoked a function!'
   }

3. Create an invoking Node.js function named "NodejsInvokeTest" in the region of Chengdu. The main settings of the function are as follows:

   • Execution method: Select index.main_handler.
   • Code submission method: Select Local zip package upload.
     Compress all files in the testNodejsSDK directory to ZIP format and upload them to the cloud.

4. On the function details page in SCF Console, you can test run a function by going to the function code sub-page and clicking Execute. The output is as follows:

   "Already invoked a function!"

Invoking a function locally

Example

1. Create a to-be-invoked Node.js function named "FuncInvoked" in the region of Beijing. The content of the function is as follows:

   'use strict';
   exports.main_handler = async (event, context, callback) => {
      console.log("\n Hello World from the function being invoked\n")
      console.log(event)
      console.log(event["non-exist"])
      return event
   };

2. Create an index.js file in the testNodejsSDK directory as an invoking Node.js function and enter the following sample code:

   const sdk = require('tencentcloud-serverless-nodejs')
   exports.main_handler = async (event, context, callback) => {
      sdk.init({
          region: 'ap-beijing',
         secretId: 'AKxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxj',
          secretKey: 'WtxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxqL'
      }) // Replace with your own secretId and secretKey
      console.log('prepare to invoke a function!')
      const res = await sdk.invoke({
          functionName: 'FuncInvoked',
          qualifier: '$LATEST',
          data: JSON.stringify({
              key:'value'
          }),
          namespace:'default'
      })
      console.log(res)
      //return res
      console.log('Already invoked a function!')
   }
   if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
      const event = {
          test: '123'
      }
      exports.main_handler(event)
   }

   secretId and secretKey: Secret ID and secret key of TencentCloud API. You can obtain them or create new ones by logging into the CAM Console and selecting Access Key > API Key Management.

3. Go to the directory where the index.js file is located and run the following command to view the result.

   • On Linux or macOS, run the following command:

     export NODE_ENV=development && node index.js

   • On Windows, run the following command:

     set NODE_ENV=development && node index.js

   The output is as follows:

   prepare to invoke a function!
   {"key":"value"}
   Already invoked a function!
