How Tos

Create A Function

After installing the Azure Functions Extension, select the Azure image on the left menu (1). Under workspace select the function image (2) and select Create Function in the index tab (3).

For this task you need to select HTTP Trigger.

Name your function (f.e. update_emission).

You can find your new Function in the src/functions direction.

Run a Function

Select the Azure Funtions Extension and double click to start debugging.

If the debugging process was successful, you can select the function you want to run. Reload if nessecary (1). To Execute the default Code in your new Function, right click on the function and select Execute Function now.

Enter the request body (Default: { "name": "Azure" }) And you will see a small Pop Up in the bottom right corner.

To see the message use an API Tool or open a browser window and send a GET or POST request (default) to see the message

For further testing you will only need to select the run and debug tab to run your funtions and use an API Tool or your Web Browser to see the requests.

Happy Coding!
