Basics requirements

• Docker, yarn

Serverless Azure Functions Node.js Template

This starter template allows quickly creating a Node.js-based service to Azure Functions. It relies on the serverless-azure-functions plugin, and therefore, before you can deploy it, you simply need to run npm install in order to acquire it (this dependency is already saved in the package.json file).

Setting up your Azure credentials

Once the serverless-azure-functions plugin is installed, it expects to find your Azure credentials via a set of well-known environment variables. These will be used to actually authenticate with your Azure account, so that the Serverless CLI can generate the necessary Azure resources on your behalf when you request a deployment (see below).

The following environment variables must be set, with their respective values:

• azureSubId - ID of the Azure subscription you want to create your service within
• azureServicePrincipalTenantId - ID of the tenant that your service principal was created within
• azureServicePrincipalClientId - ID of the service principal you want to use to authenticate with Azure
• azureServicePrincipalPassword - Password of the service principal you want to use to authenticate with Azure

For details on how to create a service principal and/or acquire your Azure account's subscription/tenant ID, refer to the Azure credentials documentation.

Install container

docker-compose up -d

Install azure function core tools

npm install -g azure-functions-core-tools

Run localy

yarn run start

Basics end-points (Create and List users)

• Intall Postman: https://www.getpostman.com/
• Import this collection: coach-code-api.postman_collection.json

Deploying the service

Once your Azure credentials are set, you can immediately deploy your service via the following command:

serverless deploy

This will create the necessary Azure resources to support the service and events that are defined in your serverless.yml file.

Invoking and inspecting a function

With the service deployed, you can test it's functions using the following command:

serverless invoke -f hello

Additionally, if you'd like to view the logs that a function generates (either via the runtime, or create by your handler by calling context.log), you can simply run the following command:

serverless logs -f hello

Cleaning up

Once you're finished with your service, you can remove all of the generated Azure resources by simply running the following command:

serverless remove
