In a previous article I showed you how to manage multiple lambdas in a mono repo using webpack and how to deploy them to AWS using the CLI. Of course for that deployment command to work the resources had to be previously created on AWS. Behind the curtain I created the lambdas and a REST API using API Gateway to expose those lambdas to client code using the AWS Console (web UI) but I didn’t show you how I did it.

Ideally, a lambda is the glue that ties together a microservice that it’s developed in isolation from other parts of a system and it’s stored and managed in its own repository. Shared functionality between lambdas, if any, might be exposed and consumed as npm packages for further isolation.

In a previous blog post I talked about the limitations of Apps Script and its cloud editor. Today I’ll focus on showing you how to create a modern local development environment that uses Typescript and consumes libraries from npm.
For this purpose we will be using clasp, a command line tool developed by Google that will allow us to connect our local development environment with Google Drive. As an obvious first step we need to install this package globally from npm.
In a previous post, “A Gentle Introduction to Webpack“, we explore how to setup a very basic Webpack build to transpile ES6 code to ES5. In this tutorial we are going to expand on that article to add support for Typescript.

In this blog post we are going to cover a basic setup for working with Typescript and Typings in a Node environment. This is the starting point of many other post on this blog.

Avoiding mutations in our code is becoming increasingly important in Javascript due to the principles of functional that makes our code easier to predict and to scale. This blog post can be considered a continuation of a previous one: The Limits of Object.assign().

Now that Angular 2 is out and given the importance of Typescript in the Angular 2 ecosystem, it’s time to understand how to create a proper building system for our projects.

Typescript is the new kid on the block, a newly attempt to bring order to the javascript chaos. ES6 is around the corner and is a fantastic step forward for frontend development (classes!) but it will take years to be fully implemented in all major browsers. That’s when Typescript comes to the rescue. Typescript goal is to be a superset of ES6 that, in addition to all the new stuff that the standard is defining, will add a static type system. Typescript has also a transpiler that converts our Typescript code (i.e. ES6 + types) to ES5 or ES3 javascript code so we can use it in today browsers.
