Including modules in Netlify AWS lambda function

Question

I’ve looked at the tutorials but I don’t understand. I have a function that processes stripe payments. I think it has something to do with packages.json but I can’t find information about where to put it or how to run it.

This is the code:

https://github.com/alexmacarthur/netlify-lambda-function-example/blob/master/lambda-src/purchase.js

With the important line simply being:

require('dotenv').config();

The error I get is:

{"errorMessage":"Cannot find module 'dotenv'"

How do I set about including this? Do I have to put a packages.json file in the same folder as my function? I tried that and it didn’t make any difference.

Did you include your node_modules into your deployment package? According to this guide, you must do so — Nino Filiu

You may need to install npm i dotenv --save
