## Interesting parts
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A Function app normally runs on URL `http://localhost:7071/api/<function-endpoint>`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `host.json`, this sets the `routePrefix` to empty string which means that the base URL is now `http://localhost:7071/`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Every function is built up of a directory looking like so:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
--| <function-endpoint>
|
||
|
|
----| function.json
|
||
|
|
----| index.js
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `function.json`, this the configuration that set's up the function
|
||
|
|
- `authLevel`, this decided whether the user needs an API key or not, possible values `anonymous`, `function`, `admin`
|
||
|
|
- `type`, how the function is triggered, can be many things like a queue message a DB row etc, in this case it's a `httpTrigger`
|
||
|
|
- `direction`, this says whether this is incoming data or outgoing. We can for example have an incoming HTTP message but an outgoing DB row (we write to a DB). Read more about this on bindings
|
||
|
|
- `name`, name of the request/response object depending on
|
||
|
|
- `methods`, this is an array of supported methods
|
||
|
|
- `route`, this sets up what routing pattern we respond on
