Simulate context.clientContext for local invocation/testing

[Skorch]

Are there any options to inject an object into the context called clientContext? The native mobile SDKs pass this in, which has device information, etc, as well as the local AWS Cognito identifier. This is the sort of information that will become more and more common once mobile developers start calling into Lambdas natively.

Thanks, didn't realise this had been added. I'll try and add this when I have time (although pull a pull request would also be welcome).

In the mean time you could test if it's undefined and if it is set some test data so you're not completely unable to test locally.

+1 We are accessing context.functionVersion in the Lambda code. Would be highly appreciated if the ability to customize the context object was added.

I created. Pull Request a while back. It has been working well for me.
