[Lambda runtime] - the archiver plugin now supports resource bundles

Server

FYI, we just merged a change to the SwiftPM Archiver plugin to include the executable's resources in the archive.

Feel free share your feedback about this new feature.

Thank you Camden (camdenfullmer (Camden Fullmer) · GitHub) for having proposed and implemented this change !

Motivation:

When deploying a Lambda function that generates HTML content I needed a way to package template HTML files along with the executable. Defining the resources in the Package.swift and then packaging them in the archive in a way so that Swift can access them using Bundle.main.resourceURL felt like the best way to accomplish this.

Example:

.executableTarget(
            name: "Website",
            dependencies: [
                .product(name: "AWSLambdaRuntime", package: "swift-aws-lambda-runtime"),
            ],
            resources: [
                .process("template.stencil"),
            ]),

Modifications:

Plugin code has been modified to generate a Contents/Resources directory inside the final archive which includes the resources defined in the executable's target from Package.swift.

Result:

The zip archive includes the defined resources in Package.swift.

Code

You can check the PR or a new example project to demonstrate how to use this feature.
