Installation

First install the plugin using npm or yarn

npm install serverless-consul-variables --save-dev
 
#or 
 
yarn add -D serverless-consul-variables

Then inside of your project's serverless.yml file add the following to the plugins section. You should change the consul host & port to match your build environment.

FYI: It defaults to this values with no need to put them in serverless.yml. If you use other values, please, put what you need here.

custom:
  serverless-consul-variables:
    consul_settings:
      host: 127.0.0.1
      port: 8500
    service:
      enable_registration: true
      enpdoint_filters: '^api(.*)'
      consul_endpoint_key_path: 'dev_test/serverless/endpoints'
plugins:
    - serverless-consul-variables

To reference a consul variable, you must prefix it with ${consul:}. For example:

environment:
  SOME_VARIABLE: ${consul:path/to/kv/variable}

=======

Service Registration in Consul KV

The parent for this options is service under the custom serverless-consul-variables structure. If enabled in enable_registration: true the service will be added to a KV of your choice. Defaults to false The full path should be in consul_endpoint_key_path

Endpoint filters

For now it only support one filter. The basic usage is to select the function you want to register in case there are more than one.

Usage:

enpdoint_filters: '^api(.*)' will only return the functions starting with api.

Let's assume this case:

functions:
  Controller1:
    handler: handler.default
    events:
      - http:
          path: api
          method: post
 
  Controller2:
    handler: tasks.apigw
    events:
      - http:
          path: task
          method: post

Now setting the filter to api as above, will only register the function with api in the path.

TODO: Support for multiple and more intelligent filters.
