Serverless-express: Unable to get remote source IP

[bhaveshvyas007]

In Express we can do :

var sourceIp = req.headers['x-forwarded-for'] || req.connection.remoteAddress;

But its not working in serverless-express.

Also tried with :

const sourceIp = req.requestContext.identity.sourceIp;

Since serverless provides this with and it works in lambda functions

const sourceIp = event.requestContext.identity.sourceIp;

Check out the example in this repo which includes usage of middle Ware to get the context.

For Future references :

const awsServerlessExpressMiddleware = require('aws-serverless-express/middleware');
router.use(awsServerlessExpressMiddleware.eventContext());

usage :

const sourceIp =req.apiGateway.event.requestContext.identity.sourceIp
