Typescript - Types for SQS messages in lambda function

Question

In lambda function, which type/interface is the event when you get an SQS?. For example:

```
export async function handler(event: any): Promise {
	const records: any[] = event.Records;
	return "done";
}
```

I set the event type as **any** because I didn't find a type in "aws-sdk". Or there is not an official type?

Accepted Answer

I know this question is one year old already, and the solution might exist elsewhere as well, but I was able to easily type an SQS even using the unofficial `@types/aws-lambda` package. You can install it with `npm install --save @types/aws-lambda`.   
  
Then your handler could look like the following:

```
import { SQSHandler, SQSEvent } from "aws-lambda";

export const handler: SQSHandler = async (event: SQSEvent) {
	const records: any[] = event.Records;
       .... // do work here
	return;
}
```
