Understanding input in scheduled events in the serverless framework?

Question

I am trying to pass some 'inputs' into my lambda function on a specific event and am researching ways of doing it. The serverless documentation shows examples of defining an input like such:

serverless.yml

functions:
  aggregate:
    handler: statistics.handler
    events:
      - schedule:
          rate: rate(10 minutes)
          enabled: false
          input:
            key1: value1
            key2: value2
            stageParams:
              stage: dev

I am still unsure what exactly this is and how it can be accessed (if at all) from my handlers.js function.

If someone could de-mystify this, it would be highly appreciated.

Answer 1

These values will be passed to your lambda function as part of event object.

nodejs lambda code:

exports.handler = (event, context, callback) =>{
  console.log("key1 is", event.key1)
  return 0
}
