So I'm new to ruby and I have a simple REST API.
The post request looks like this:
POST /endpoint, { 'message': 1 }
My lambda handler looks like this:
def run(event:, context:)
puts "#{event['body']}"
# prints the request body
end
I'm trying to figure out how to store message, which is an int in a variable.
I was trying to do something like this but doesn't work
my_int = event['body']['message']
event['body'] is going to return a string, a json string.
You need to parse it with something like this.
body = JSON.parse(event['body'])
my_int = body['message']
Also if you were to do.
puts event.inspect
instead of
puts "#{event['body']}"
you would have been able to see that body returned a string and not an object. I hope that helps and good luck.
