# Node.js

### Getting and publishing a function

The following shows how to get, edit, and pack your template for upload.

| Versions     | Template                                                                                     |

* After you have downloaded the template project, unzip it and navigate to `./lambda-function` directory.
* Open the command-line tool and run `npm install`. This will install all initial dependencies.
* Your entry (main) function will be inside `index.js` file called `exports.handler`.
* After you did, zip all of the `.js` files and `node_modules` folder. Only production modules are needed so be sure to pack only production modules. You can do that by deleting your current `nod_modules` folder and installing again but using only production flag `npm install --only=prod`. Other files are not needed (can be included depending on your function).
* Upload zipped file to Norbix.

For the **handler,** you have to specify your entry function location. Handler follows such format - `fileName.functionName`. Following the structure given in the initial template, the handler would be `index.handler`. You can edit any of these parameters for your own function.
