I am calling the request library with const request = require("request")
and I added the dependency in the package.json I have posted the error below. From reading other posts however, I realize i might need to npm-install the request module and import the entire zip as a folder.
Since I am new to node, I wanted to check if there is another way to import the 'require' library into the current working directory or am I making a mistake somewhere else ?
Here is my package.json:
{
"name": "fact",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"

"ask-sdk-model": "^1.0.0",

}
}
its still giving me the following error when I test:

Reset to default 3There is no need to create node Module folder in lambda function.Just create a folder and in that install required i.e npm install require and add it to layer in lambda function. For further information refer https://www.freecodecamp/news/lambda-layers-2f80b9211318/
note: use appropriate runtime i.e all available version of nodejs
Yes, you need to install the library with npm. As far I know you have two simple ways to do it, using aws cloud9 or do it in your local environment and upload the lambda to aws.
In order to do that from your local environment, just download your function as a zip, doing click on export function and selecting "Download deployment package":
This will donwload a zip to your local environment, unzip it and inside the folder, open the terminal and install your dependency:
npm i request
zip the folder again and deploy it to aws using the aws-cli:
aws lambda update-function-code --function-name=your_function_name --zip-file fileb://your_zip_file_name.zip
