Nx Azure Function Plugin

This plugin provides generators and executors for Azure Functions. The plugin uses azure functions version 4.

Installation

To install the plugin, run the following command:

npm install -D @ziacik/azure-func

Usage

To generate an azure function application:

nx generate @ziacik/azure-func:application --name=my-func-app --directory=packages/my-func-app --projectNameAndRootFormat=as-provided

To generate a HTTP trigger function:

nx generate @ziacik/azure-func:function --name=hello-world --project=my-func-app

To serve the application locally:

nx serve my-func-app

To publish the application to azure:

nx publish my-func-app

Prerequisites

For generating, there are no prerequisites.

For serve, a func cli has to be installed:

npm i -g azure-functions-core-tools@4 --unsafe-perm true

See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-run-local#install-the-azure-functions-core-tools for more information about alternative ways to install.

For publish, the user must be logged into azure using the az cli.

See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli for instructions to install az cli.

Then, run

az login

Before publishing, create an Azure Function App in Azure. You can do so using the Azure Portal website https://portal.azure.com/#create/Microsoft.FunctionApp or using the az cli. The name of the application should be set in the publish target's azureAppName option (it can also be set in the application generator).
