Textract Adoption Form - WA Animals

Consuming and processing WA Animals adoption forms using AWS Textract and placing that data in DynamoDB

Serverless Setup

## Project Setup
mkdir form-process
cd form-process

npm install -g serverless
serverless create --template aws-python3 --name form-process

Requirements [Workaround]

Currently the boto3 client deployed to Lambda doesn't include textract. We'll need to force an update on the client using python requirements

serverless plugin install -n serverless-python-requirements
npm install

Create a requirements.txt file and add the following to it

boto3>=1.9.111

Also in the next section take careful note of the lines below

pythonRequirements:
  dockerizePip: non-linux
  noDeploy: []

noDeploy tells the serverless-python-requirements plugin to include boto3 and not omit it. More information can be found HERE

Running

# Install dependencies
cd form-process
npm install

# Install serverless (if you haven't already)
npm install -g serverless

# Deploy
serverless deploy

Testing (Textract)

To test just the Textract portion of the app, run the following to copy it to your S3 bucket.
