Lambda now supports Node 8.10… how do we enable?

Hi

Lambda now supports Node 8.10 (finally)!

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/programming-model.html

Does serverless-webpack just work if you change the serverless.yml file to use Node 8.10 or are there .babelrc and/or webpack.config.js changes required to make this work?

@ChristopheBougere I was having the same issue as you were with object spreads resulting in an unexpected token error. Turns out, you need the babel-plugin-syntax-object-rest-spread package for babel to parse - but not transform - the spread syntax so it’ll work natively in Node 8.

npm i --save-dev babel-plugin-syntax-object-rest-spread

then in your .babelrc

{
  "plugins": ["syntax-object-rest-spread"]
}

Hope that helps.

Did you try to remove the babel loader completely from module: rules and use the very latest webpack version? According to webpack’s documentation, loaders should be optional (just read through it) and webpack itself should understand plain JS. (However, I remember that the import statement is not yet supported in Node 8).
