Access Lambda context with lambda_http

[floric]

Hey :)

at first thanks for your great work and invest in the Rust ecosystem. :) Now my question:

is it possible to access the Lambda context (part of LambdaEvent) if we use lambda_http::run? I really enjoy the abstraction of this package but now I'm missing some variables like the trace id or the request id. Or is it possible to use lambda_runtime and lambda_http together to achieve this goal?

Kind regards, Florian

Hey @floric !

It's definitively possible, but I do realise we might not have documented this in the best way.

The Lambda context is stored as a Request extension. You can use the RequestExt trait, which will expose the Lambda context by doing req.lambda_context().

great, that sounds great. Traits are so helpful and deeply hidden at the same time :D I will give it a try.
