Writing Functions

Build the Cloud Functions by writing JavaScript code.
There is a list of things you need to know about writing Cloud Functions using our boilerplate.
  1. 1.
    You can write your function in JavaScript.
  2. 2.
    Functions implementation lives inside of /functions directory, e.g., /functions/hellowWorld.
  3. 3.
    Every function is an independent Node.js module with its own dependencies.
  4. 4.
    The entry point of every function is always the main.js file, e.g., /functions/helloWorld/main.js.
  5. 5.
    Every function needs a configuration file with metadata about the function.
You can also build your functions by writing "TypeScript" as long as you push a build code that contains the main.js file at the root of each function.
