This project vendors dependencies with [gyro](https://github.com/mattnite/gyro), so
|
|
||||||
first time build should be done with `gyro build`. This should be working
|
|

on zig master - certain build.zig constructs are not available in zig 0.8.1.

Caveats:

|
|

* Small inbound lambda payloads seem to be confusing [requestz](https://github.com/ducdetronquito/requestz),
|
* Unhandled invocation errors seem to be causing timeouts

which just never returns, causing timeouts

* Unhandled invocation errors seem to be causing the same problem
|
features introduced January 12th 2023. I intend to make it compatible with
|
||||||
|
zig 0.11 on its release in August 2023
|
||||||
|
* zig build options only appear if compiling using linux, although it should be trivial
|
||||||
|
to make it work on other Unix-like operating systems (e.g. macos, freebsd). In fact,
|
||||||
|
it will likely work with just a change to the operating system check
|
||||||
|
* There are a **ton** of TODO's in this code. Current state is more of a proof of
|
||||||
|
concept. PRs are welcome!

A sample project using this runtime can be found at https://git.lerch.org/lobo/lambda-zig-sample

|
||||||
|
Using the zig package manager
|
||||||
|
-----------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The zig package manager [works just fine](https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/14279)
|
||||||
|
in build.zig, which works well for use of this runtime.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To add lambda package/deployment steps to another project:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. `zig build init-exe`
|
||||||
|
2. Add a `build.zig.zon` similar to the below
|
||||||
|
3. Add a line to build.zig to add necessary build options, etc. Not the build function
|
||||||
|
return type should be changed from `void` to `!void`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`build.zig`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```zig
|
||||||
|
try @import("lambda-zig").lambdaBuildOptions(b, exe);
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`build.zig.zon`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```zig
|
||||||
|
.{
|
||||||
|
.name = "lambda-zig",
|
||||||
|
.version = "0.1.0",
|
||||||
|
.dependencies = .{
|
||||||
|
.@"lambda-zig" = .{
|
||||||
|
.url = "https://git.lerch.org/lobo/lambda-zig/archive/fa13a08c4d91034a9b19d85f8c4c0af4cedaa67e.tar.gz",
|
||||||
|
.hash = "122037c357f834ffddf7b3a514f55edd5a4d7a3cde138a4021b6ac51be8fd2926000",
|
||||||
|
},
|
||||||
|
},
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
That's it! Now you should have the 4 custom build steps
