Fn - Create

Creates a new Serverless service in the current working directory based on the provided template.

Create service in current working directory:

serverless create --template fn-nodejs
serverless create --template fn-go

Create service in new folder:

serverless create --template fn-nodejs --path my-service
serverless create --template fn-nodejs --path my-service

Options

  • --template or -t The name of one of the available templates. Required if --template-url and --template-path are not present.
  • --template-url or -u The name of one of the available templates. Required if --template and --template-path are not present.
  • --template-path The local path of your template. Required if --template and --template-url are not present.
  • --path or -p The path where the service should be created.
  • --name or -n the name of the service in serverless.yml.

Provided lifecycle events

  • create:create

Available Templates for Fn

To see a list of available templates run serverless create --help

These are the current available templates for Fn:

  • fn-nodejs
  • fn-go

Examples

Creating a new Serverless service

serverless create --template fn-nodejs --name my-special-service

This example will generate scaffolding for a service with Fn as a provider and nodejs as runtime. The scaffolding will be generated in the current working directory.

The provider which is used for deployment later on is Fn.

Creating a named service in a (new) directory

serverless create --template fn-nodejs --path my-new-service

This example will generate scaffolding for a service with Fn as a provider and nodejs as runtime. The scaffolding will be generated in the my-new-service directory. This directory will be created if not present. Otherwise Serverless will use the already present directory.

Additionally Serverless will rename the service according to the path you provide. In this example the service will be renamed to my-new-service.

Creating a new service using a local template

serverless create --template-path path/to/my/template/folder --path path/to/my/service --name my-new-service

This will copy the path/to/my/template/folder folder into path/to/my/service and rename the service to my-new-service.
