AWS Lambda script that generates PDF
- You can call the function directly (see this), or
- You can create a .json file containing the parameters and
PUTit toHTML2PDF/Newfolder in S3-bucket - The lambda script will then create the PDF buffer AND
- Move the .json file from
HTML2PDF/NewtoHTML2PDF/Processed(if you are calling the script by putting a .json file in S3) - Save the PDF buffer to a PDF file (if you have added the
saveToPathparameter - Send message to AWS SQS Queue (if you have added the
QueueUrlparameter - Additionally, it can also include specified data (that you may need in your code logic) in the SQS message if you add the
callbackDataparameter.

If you do not know what AWS SQS is, please take a look here.
Your business logic may require that the app should be notified when the lambda script is done. In those cases, you have to add the QueueUrl parameter when you are developing. For the UniteLiving.com app in dev/test/prod, this will be done automatically using settings (in other words, you do not need enter QueueUrl parameter.
For localhost, since we have to make sure that the correct developer instace gets the message, you have to add the QueueUrl parameter.
