Laravel Vapor

Development

Binary Responses

To return binary responses, such as PDF downloads, from your Vapor application, your HTTP response should include the X-Vapor-Base64-Encode header:

return $response->withHeaders([
    'X-Vapor-Base64-Encode' => 'True',
]);

Lambda Response Size

Lambda limits responses to 6MB. If you need to serve a larger file, consider returning a signed, temporary S3 URL that your user may use to download the file directly from S3.

Access The Lambda Event Object

When an AWS Lambda function is invoked (whether HTTP, CLI, or Queue), an "event" object is received from AWS. The event differs in structure and contents based on the service that invoked the Lambda function. For example, an event created by API Gateway will contain details related to the HTTP request.

To obtain an instance of the current Lambda event via dependency injection, you may type-hint the Laravel\Vapor\Runtime\LambdaEvent class on your route closure, controller, job, or command:

use Laravel\Vapor\Runtime\LambdaEvent;

Route::get('/', function (LambdaEvent $event) {
    $context = $event['requestContext'];

    $domain = $context['domainName'];

    // ..
});

Configuring OpenSSL

To use certain OpenSSL functions such as openssl_pkey_new, you must create an openssl.cnf configuration file and instruct Vapor to load it via the OPENSSL_CONF environment variable. For example, this environment variable will instruct Vapor to load an openssl.cnf file from the root of your project:

OPENSSL_CONF="/var/task/openssl.cnf"

An example openssl.cnf file is available below:

dir = certificates

[ ca ]
default_ca = CA_default

[ CA_default ]
serial = $dir/serial
database = $dir/index.txt
new_certs_dir = $dir/newcerts
certificate  = $dir/cacert.pem
private_key = $dir/private/cakey.pem
default_days = 36500
default_md  = sha256
preserve = no
email_in_dn  = no
nameopt = default_ca
certopt = default_ca
policy = policy_match

[ policy_match ]
commonName = supplied
countryName = optional
stateOrProvinceName = optional
organizationName = optional
organizationalUnitName = optional
emailAddress = optional

[ req ]
default_bits = 2048
default_keyfile = priv.pem
default_md = sha256
distinguished_name = req_distinguished_name
req_extensions = v3_req
encyrpt_key = no

[ req_distinguished_name ]

[ v3_ca ]
basicConstraints = CA:TRUE
subjectKeyIdentifier = hash
authorityKeyIdentifier = keyid:always,issuer:always

[ v3_req ]
basicConstraints = CA:FALSE
subjectKeyIdentifier = hash
