从Node.js Lambda函数引用CloudFormation变量

Question

I've created a Lambda function to suspend the "Terminate" process in my autoscaling group which works when I hardcode the ASG Name in the Lambda Node.js code. I need to pull the ASG name from the "ASGName" custom resource property in the CloudFormation Template (see below):

SuspendProcess:
 Type: Custom::SuspendProcess
 Properties:
   ServiceToken: arn:aws:lambda:eu-west-1:############:function:TestFunction
   Region: !Ref AWS::Region
   ASGName: !Ref ASG
 DependsOn: "ASG" 

How do I tell the node.js function to pull the ASG name from the CloudFormation "ASGName" property above?

This is the node.js function code:

var AWS = require('aws-sdk');
var uuid = require('uuid');
AWS.config.update({ region: 'eu-west-1' });

exports.handler = (event, context, callback) => {

AWS.config.apiVersions = {
  autoscaling: '2011-01-01',
};

var autoscaling = new AWS.AutoScaling();
var ASGName = parseInt(event.ResourceProperties.ASGName);

/* This suspends the specified scaling process for the specified Auto 
Scaling group. */

 var params = {
  AutoScalingGroupName: "ASGName", 
  ScalingProcesses: [
     "Terminate"
  ]
 };
 autoscaling.suspendProcesses(params, function(err, data) {
   if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
   else     console.log(data);           // successful response
 });
};

I've tried to create a variable = ASGName to point to the CloudFormation property then reference this as the AutoscalingGroupName. I know the syntax isn't correct here. I've seen lots of examples but none of them work.

I'm new to Node.js so any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Instead of try to get it in properties, I suggest you use nodeJS sdk code to get that resource, then put that info into your ASGName variable.

var params = {
  LogicalResourceId: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  StackName: 'STRING_VALUE' /* required */
};
cloudformation.describeStackResource(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     ASGName = data;           // successful response
});
