Help the project :)

[keithrozario]

Hey guys,

I recently switched jobs, and a bit busy these days, and for some reason the volume of issues/requests has increased slightly over the last few weeks.

I'm looking for someone to help me manage the repo, verify pull requests, answer some issues? All I can offer is your name somewhere in the readme (and a coffee/beer if you're in Singapore !)

If you're interested let me know, it's actually quite light work to be honest.

Keith

Perhaps @adriaanbd?

Hi @keithrozario, I'd be happy to discuss further, let's continue here or by email? I'd like more info on what the light work entails, for example if there are any workloads to run, logs to check, etc.

@keithrozario I am ready to help you. If you are interested we can have a google meet and discuss more things regarding the repository. You can contact me via my email ksdkamesh99@gmail.com. Hope you will message me soon

Hi @keithrozario,
I know I am writing this out of no where but I want to contribute to open source. If you need any help now please let me know. My email - apu76899@gmail.com

Thanks

Hi @adriaanbd @ksdkamesh99 @Amitdey13 I'm so so sorry for not replying earlier, I must have missed my notifications on this issue.

If you're willing to help, I have 3 items on the to-do:

1. A GUI website for users to choose a package and region and get the latest layer arn. The website would call the API.
2. A Python Package that allows for user to directly import the latest layer version into their CDK stacks (only Python).
3. Tidy up the documentation

I'm drafting the RFC for (1) and (2) ,but happy to take any help.

Hi @keithrozario,
Love to help for (1) or (2), how can I proceed.

Thanks

[keithrozario]

I'm writing some docs for (2), for (1) let me create a blank repo for you to start with, and from there you can start making the website, nothing to fancy, just a simple query with drop downs etc.

Which would you like to do first (1) or (2)

[Amitdey13]

@keithrozario,
I would like to do (1) first.

Thanks

[keithrozario]

Cool. I would say just go for it. Create a new repo, and then I'll figure out a way to deploy into my AWS account. Just make sure it's pure JavaScript which connects to the API. Let me know once the repo is created :)

Hi @keithrozario,
Was busy in other task.
Just wanted to provide my update, I have created the repo and simple page to search layers the UI screenshot is attached in the readme.
Lambda Layers

What is my next step please suggest.
Thanks

[keithrozario]

Looking good. Keep on tidying up, I will have to see how I can create a test environment first.

[Amitdey13]

Hi @keithrozario,
Any update or how can I proceed for next step.

Thanks

[keithrozario]

Thanks @Amitdey13 . Setup a github project to track some work and invited you.

Will take a bit of time (1-2 weeks) to setup the automation.

In the meantime, can you try to finish up the repository -- currently there are no API calls being made, it's just a static website.

We'll also need to remove Javascript, we only do Python. You can change that to specific python versions.

Hi @keithrozario,

Updates:

• Removed language dropdown
• Added API call for versions and regions
• currently pulling data from json

Which API should I use to get actual data?

Thanks

Can try this: https://api.klayers.cloud/api/v2/p3.12/layers/latest/ap-southeast-1/, replace the python version and the region with the correct values, and you'll receive a full list json. CORS might not work yet, I'll get on fixing that :).

[Amitdey13]

Hi @keithrozario,
I have integrated the API. Please have a look.

Thanks

[keithrozario]

Thanks @Amitdey13 i'll look at this later this week.
