View the source code.

Deploy and Test

1. Follow the Cloud Functions quickstart guide to setup Cloud Functions for your project.

2. Clone this repository:

    git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/nodejs-docs-samples.git
    cd nodejs-docs-samples/functions/pubsub
   

3. Create a Cloud Pub/Sub topic (if you already have one you want to use, you can skip this step):

    gcloud beta pubsub topics create YOUR_TOPIC_NAME
   

   • Replace YOUR_TOPIC_NAME with the name of your Pub/Sub Topic.

4. Create a Cloud Storage Bucket to stage our deployment:

    gsutil mb gs://YOUR_BUCKET_NAME
   

   • Replace YOUR_BUCKET_NAME with the name of your Cloud Storage Bucket.

5. Deploy the publish function with an HTTP trigger:

    gcloud alpha functions deploy publish --stage-bucket YOUR_BUCKET_NAME --trigger-http
   

   • Replace YOUR_BUCKET_NAME with the name of your Cloud Storage Bucket.

6. Deploy the subscribe function with the Pub/Sub topic as a trigger:

    gcloud alpha functions deploy subscribe --stage-bucket YOUR_BUCKET_NAME --trigger-topic YOUR_TOPIC_NAME
   

   • Replace YOUR_BUCKET_NAME with the name of your Cloud Storage Bucket.
   • Replace YOUR_TOPIC_NAME with the name of your Pub/Sub Topic.

7. Call the publish function:

    gcloud alpha functions call publish --data '{"topic":"YOUR_TOPIC_NAME","message":"Hello World!"}'
   

   • Replace YOUR_TOPIC_NAME with the name of your Pub/Sub Topic.

8. Check the logs for the subscribe function:

    gcloud alpha functions get-logs subscribe
   

   You should see something like this in your console:

    D      ... User function triggered, starting execution
    I      ... Hello World!
    D      ... Execution took 1 ms, user function completed successfully
