TypeScript Google Cloud Function starter kit

A bare-bones starter kit for a typescript Google Cloud Function. My new-project-script repository is a convenient way to clone a repo, get rid of all the old history and have a shiny new repo to work in.

Usage

1. Clone this repo into a folder on your local machine
2. run npm install
3. edit package.json a. in setProjectStaging replace xxx-name-of-staging-project with the id of your GCF project. The id is similar but can be different from the name. By default GCP will attach a number to the name to create the id. b. optionally delete production scripts c. In deploy script change nameOfGcfFunction to gcfHelloWorld
4. In app,ts change name of function to gcfHelloWorld
5. at terminal npm run deploy:staging subsequent deploys can use npm run deploy
6. In PostMan send a GET request of https://your-project-url.cloudfunctions.net/gcfHelloWorld . You can use the the GCP dashboard to go to the function, hit edit and get the full url from there.
7. You should get back a response of {“message”:”This your GCF Function responding.”}

If you switch between a staging and production environment you must run the script to set the default environment once. After that you can use the deploy script.
