Azure Functions & Serverless - Part 2

Test the function locally:

1- Open the terminal at /api folder
2 - Press f5 (this opens up the debugger) 3 - click azure icon, ‘execute function now (this actually runs the function)

Or just run the following command in /api folder

    npm start

Essentially this opens Azure Core Tools.

Then you can go to Postman (I prefer ThunderClient within VScode) or wherever and run:

    http://localhost:7071/etcetcetc

And see what the Error message is from the Function.

Then you need to deploy once tested….

Dont forget to git commit -a -m “my awesome function”

you might need to cd .. to go up a directory.

go to Azure Icon in VS Code then under resources and the function you want to deploy to right click and ‘deploy to function app’.
