Setup

Before you begin

1. Install Node.js version 10 or greater

2. Obtain authentication credentials. Create local credentials by running the following command and following the oauth2 flow (read more about the command here):

   gcloud auth application-default login

3. Create a Nx workspace.

   npx create-nx-workspace@latest workspaceName
   cd workspaceName
   yarn add tslib
   yarn add -D @imaware/gcp-function @google-cloud/functions-framework supertest @nrwl/lint @nrwl/jest @types/express

Create a function

Trigger: HTTP

nx generate @imaware/gcp-function:http functionName

Trigger: Pub/Sub

nx generate @imaware/gcp-function:pubsub functionName

Test the function

nx serve functionName
nx test functionName

Deploy the function

nx build functionName
nx deploy functionName

The 'build' option bundle all your internal dependencies in main.js & create a new package.json with your external dependencies (version number from root/package.json.)
