Invoke

Invoke a deployed function. You can send event data, read logs, and view other important information about function calls.

serverless invoke --function functionName

--function or -f: The name of the function that you want to invoke. Required
--data or -d: Data you want to pass into the function.
--path or -p: The path to a JSON file which contains the input data to be transferred to the invoked function. This path is relative to the root directory of the service.

Simple function invocation
```
serverless invoke --function functionName
```
In this example the deployed function will be invoked and the result of the invocation will be displayed in the terminal.
Function invocation with data
```
serverless invoke --function functionName --data '{"name": "Bob"}'
```
In this example, the function will be invoked with the provided data and the result will be displayed in the terminal.
Function invocation with passed data
```
serverless invoke --function functionName --path lib/event.json
```
In this example, the JSON data in the lib/event.json file will be passed (relative to the root of the service) while invoking the specified or deployed function.
Example of event.json
```
{
    "key": "value"
}
```
