TypeScript libraries for Azure Functions
:construction: This library is still in alpha and not supported by the Azure Functions team for any use. :construction:
These are some helper libraries for folks trying to use TypeScript with Azure Functions
npm install --save @mattmazzola/azure-functions-typescript
import { IHttpContext, IFunctionRequest, HttpStatusCodes } from 'azure-functions-typescript'
export function index(context: IHttpContext, req: IFunctionRequest) {
if(req.method == "GET")
context.res.status = HttpStatusCodes.OK;
context.done(null, {});
}
You can use the entryPoint
property in your function.json
to specify the name of the function, if you have more than one export.
"entryPoint": "index",
Development patterns
Because the Azure Functions portal doesn't support TypeScript yet, you have to manage the compilation yourself.
If you develop locally, you can run your local host (see azurefunctions CLI), which will look for js files, and also tsc -w
, which will look for ts files. Be sure you have sourcemaps turned on if you want nice debugging experiences.
If you develop remotely, you can create a PowerShell function which will run npm scripts for you, but tsc -w
doesn't work very reliably due to the transient nature of the compute.
