How do I cloudform an API gateway resource with a lambda proxy integration

Question

I\'ve been trying to work out how to express (in cloudformation) an API Gateway Resource that has a Lambda function integration type using the Lambda Proxy integration.

Answer 1

The Integration type should be set to AWS_PROXY. An example snippet of a method from a working YAML CloudFormation template is below.

ProxyResourceAny:
  Type: AWS::ApiGateway::Method
  Properties:
    AuthorizationType: NONE
    HttpMethod: ANY
    ResourceId:
      Ref: ProxyResource
    RestApiId:
      Ref: API
    Integration:
      Type: AWS_PROXY
      IntegrationHttpMethod: POST
      Uri: !Sub
        - arn:aws:apigateway:${AWS::Region}:lambda:path/2015-03-31/functions/${Arn}/invocations
        - Arn:
            Fn::GetAtt:
            - RestorerLambda
            - Arn

It's worth saying how a I figured this out...

After scratching my head for a while I examined the output of the aws apigateway get-method CLI command for a method that was configured this way using the console. That gave me the following JSON and I realised that the checkbox might be encoded into the type. I tested my assumption and came up with the CloudFormation above.

{
    "apiKeyRequired": false,
    "httpMethod": "ANY",
    "methodIntegration": {
        "integrationResponses": {
            "200": {
                "responseTemplates": {
                    "application/json": null
                },
                "statusCode": "200"
            }
        },
        "passthroughBehavior": "WHEN_NO_MATCH",
        "cacheKeyParameters": [],
        "uri": "arn:aws:apigateway:eu-west-1:lambda:path/2015-03-31/functions/arn:aws:lambda:eu-west-1:XXXXXXXXX:function:Shildrew-Restorer-Play-Lambda/invocations",
        "httpMethod": "POST",
        "cacheNamespace": "64bl3tgw4g",
        "type": "AWS_PROXY"
    },
    "requestParameters": {},
    "authorizationType": "NONE"
}
