# AWS Lambda .Net Core Console Example

This is a boilerplate function for those looking to create lambda functions with .Net Core.

This starter project consists of:

- Function.cs - class file containing a class with a single function handler method
- aws-lambda-tools-defaults.json - default argument settings for use with Visual Studio and command line deployment tools for AWS

You may also have a test project depending on the options selected.

The generated function handler is a simple method accepting a string argument that returns the uppercase equivalent of the input string. Replace the body of this method, and parameters, to suit your needs.

## Here are some steps to follow to get started from the command line:

Once you have edited your template and code you can deploy your application using the [Amazon.Lambda.Tools Global Tool](https://github.com/aws/aws-extensions-for-dotnet-cli#aws-lambda-amazonlambdatools) from the command line.

Install Amazon.Lambda.Tools Global Tools if not already installed.

```
    dotnet tool install -g Amazon.Lambda.Tools
```

If already installed check if new version is available.

```
    dotnet tool update -g Amazon.Lambda.Tools
```

Execute unit tests

```
    cd "test/lambda-dotnet-console.Tests"
    dotnet test
```

Deploy function to AWS Lambda

```
    cd "src/lambda-dotnet-console"
    dotnet lambda deploy-function
```
