npm i file-function-server or yarn add file-function-server

📂 Create Functions Folder

The endpoint handler is the default node module export. It takes two arguments:

1. req (express.Request type)
2. res (express.Response type)

hello-world.js (JavaScript)

module.exports.default = function (req, res) {
  return 'Hello World!';
};

export default (req, res) => 'Hello World!';

import { FileFunctionHandler } from 'file-function-server';

export default ((req, res) => {
 // Intellisense enabled!
 return 'Hello World!';
}) as FileFunctionHandler;

Script

"scripts": {
 "start": "file-function-server"
}
