I want to response personal defined statuscode and some headers.  
But I find even I change the status code to 201 the status code is still 200. and my defined header is not in headers.

my handler like:

```auto
function createResponse(status, header, body) {
  return {
    headers: Object.assign(header, {
      'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
      'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=utf-8'
    }),
    statusCode: status,
    body: JSON.stringify(body)
  }
}
export const hello = async (event, context, cb) => { 
  const rep = {
      message: 'v1.0',
      event: event
  };
  cb(null, createResponse(201, {}, rep));
  return;
};

```

How to check to correct code can change status code and response header?

Try returning the result from your `createResponse()` call instead of using the callback parameter as it’s not officially part of the `async` handler syntax.

```auto
function createResponse(status, header, body) {
  return {
    headers: Object.assign(header, {
      'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
      'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=utf-8'
    }),
    statusCode: status,
    body: JSON.stringify(body)
  }
}
export const hello = async (event, context) => { 
  const rep = {
      message: 'v1.0',
      event: event
  };
  return createResponse(201, {}, rep);
};

```
