This repository is an example use-case on how to use Netlify Functions with TypeScript.
If you need help understanding the ins and outs of this code, please refer to the video on ScopeLeak
| Dependencies | Why |
|---|---|
| Netlify Dev¹ | To run Netlify Functions locally |
| Netlify Lambda | Adds build-step to Netlify Functions |
| TypeScript | The compiler for TypeScript (tsc) |
| node-fetch | Brings window.fetch api to NodeJS |
| babel/preset-env | Tells Babel which JavaScript syntax to output |
| babel/preset-typescript | Teach Babel to use TypeScript compiler |
| types/aws-lambda | Request/Response types for AWS Lambdas² |
| encoding | depency of node-fetch³ |
1: Install it globally on your system
2: Netlify Functions uses AWS Lambdas under the hood
3: It should be a dependency of node-fetch but it’s not added in v2, so we add manually so our build doesn‘t break.
