`yalambda`

Yalambda lets you write Yanex.Cloud Functions with less boilerplate

Features:

everything is type-annotated, so you'll get autocompletion in IDEs
base64 de/encoding and other details are handled for you
automatically parse JSON using dataclass-factory

Echo server example

from yalambda import function, YaRequest, YaResponse


@function()
async def handler(req: YaRequest) -> YaResponse:
    return YaResponse(200, req.body)

Automatically parse dataclasses

from dataclasses import dataclass
from yalambda import function, YaResponse


@dataclass
class Point:
    x: float
    y: float


@function()
async def handler(point: Point) -> YaResponse:
    dist = (point.x**2 + point.y**2)**0.5
    return YaResponse(200, {"distance_to_origin": dist})

Access both the dataclass and the request

from dataclasses import dataclass
from yalambda import function, YaRequest, YaResponse


@dataclass
class Point:
    x: float
    y: float


@function()
async def handler(point: Point, req: YaRequest) -> YaResponse:
    if req.http_method != "POST":
        return YaResponse(405, "Only POST requests are allowed")

    dist = (point.x**2 + point.y**2)**0.5
    return YaResponse(200, {"distance_to_origin": dist})

Initialize something asynchronously on first call

from yalambda import function, YaRequest, YaResponse


async def init():
    global answer
    answer = 42


@function(init)
async def handler(req: YaRequest) -> YaResponse:
    return YaResponse(200, "Answer: {}".format(answer))

Routing

from dataclasses import dataclass
from yalambda import dispatch, YaRequest, YaResponse


@dataclass
class Point:
    x: float
    y: float


async def get_all_points(req: YaRequest) -> YaResponse:
    points = [{"x": 3.0, "y": 4.0}, {"x": -1.0, "y": 3.27}]
    return YaResponse(200, points)


async def compute_distance(point: Point) -> YaResponse:
    dist = (point.x**2 + point.y**2)**0.5
    return YaResponse(200, {"distance_to_origin": dist})


handler = dispatch({
    "GET": get_all_points,
    "POST": compute_distance,
})

Full example

This function acts as a GitHub webhook and sends a pretty embed on Discord webhook when an issue is opened or closed. See the source code on GitHub.

Development server

You can install aiohttp and run your function locally. It's not the same as the real thing, but it should be enough for simple functions.

$ python -m yalambda your_module

Condition DSL

We can modify our GitHub->Discord example so that it doesn't error out on the initial ping event:

from yalambda import when

...

async def handle_issue_events(event: IssueEvent) -> YaResponse:
    embed = create_embed(event)
    if embed is not None:
        await client.post(DISCORD_WEBHOOK, json={"embeds": [embed]})
    return YaResponse(200, "")


async def handle_ping(req: YaRequest) -> YaResponse:
    return YaResponse(200, "")


handler = when.dispatch(
    when.header_is("x-github-event", "ping", handle_ping),
    when.header_is("x-github-event", "issues", handle_issue_events),
    init=init
)
