Print

Print your serverless.yml config file with all variables resolved.

If you're using Serverless Variables in your serverless.yml, it can be difficult to know if your syntax is correct or if the variables are resolving as you expect.

With this command, it will print the fully-resolved config to your console.

bash

serverless print

Options

format Print configuration in given format ("yaml", "json", "text"). Default: yaml
path Period-separated path to print a sub-value (eg: "provider.name")
transform Transform-function to apply to the value (currently only "keys" is supported)

Examples:

Assuming you have the following config file:

yml

service: my-service

custom:
  bucketName: test

provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs14.x

functions:
  hello:
    handler: handler.hello

resources:
  Resources:
    MyBucket:
      Type: AWS::S3::Bucket
      Properties:
        BucketName: ${self:custom.bucketName}

Using sls print will resolve the variables in provider.stage and BucketName.

bash

$ sls print
service: my-service
custom:
  bucketName: test
provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs14.x
  stage: dev # <-- Resolved
functions:
  hello:
    handler: handler.hello
resources:
  Resources:
    MyBucket:
      Type: 'AWS::S3::Bucket'
      Properties:
        BucketName: test # <-- Resolved

This prints the provider name:

bash

sls print --path provider.name --format text

And this prints all function names:

bash

sls print --path functions --transform keys --format text
