Google Cloud Functions with TypeScript example project

This is a template for creating a Google Cloud Function written in TypeScript.
It contains a simple function that listens to standard HTTP request and responds with a simple message and logs it to console.

Requirements

You need some tooling installed and configured to make this work:

• NodeJS
• Yarn (or npm)
• TypeScript
• Google Cloud SDK

Note: Make sure to have your Google Cloud SDK configured to the project where you want the cloud function to be deployed.

Clone the project

Clone the project to your desired workspace:

git clone git@github.com:rodob/google-cloud-typescript-functions.git

Install required node modules

yarn install

Run the compiler

yarn build

This is running the TypeScript compiler tsc - configured in package.json

Alternatively run the TypeScript compiler directly with:

tsc

Deploy the function

yarn deploy

This is running the gcloud command for deploying to the current active Google Cloud project - configured in package.json

Alternatively run the command directly with:

gcloud functions deploy helloGET --runtime nodejs8 --trigger-http

If the function is successfully deployed you should see a url to where you can access the function.
