# README

This package is an async version of [cfn-response module](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/cfn-lambda-function-code-cfnresponsemodule.html#w2ab1c27c23c16b9c15).

The module includes a send method, which sends a [Custom resource response object](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/crpg-ref-responses.html) corresponding to the received [request object](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/crpg-ref-requests.html) and returns a promise, so that it can be used within [Async nodejs handlers](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/nodejs-handler.html#nodejs-handler-async).

## Sample usage

```javascript
const response = require("cfn-response-async");

async function someAsyncLogicToRun() {
  return "All good!";
}

exports.handler = async (event, context) => {
  console.log(event);
  console.log(context);

  var res;

  try {
    const outputValue = await someAsyncLogicToRun();
    const responseData = {
      Value: outputValue,
    };

    res = await response.send(event, context, response.SUCCESS, responseData);
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(error);
    res = await response.send(event, context, response.FAILED);
  }

  console.log("Status code: " + res.statusCode);
  console.log("Status message: " + res.statusMessagee);
  return res.statusCode;
};
```
