This page shows you how to install and run Functions Frameworks for local development.
Before you beginIf this is your first time using Cloud Run functions with Cloud Code, see the Get started with Cloud Run functions quickstart. Once you've created and deployed a function using a Cloud Code sample, you can return to this guide to setup a local development environment.
Install and run Functions Framework locallyTo install and run Functions Framework locally, follow these steps:
In VS Code, click Cloud Code and then expand the Cloud Functions explorer.
Expand your Google Cloud project, right-click a deployed function of your choice, and select Download to new workspace. This downloads the source code of your function from Google Cloud to your local machine and creates a new workspace in your IDE.
Click View > Terminal to open the terminal in VS Code.
To install the local dependencies to your function's local folder, navigate to your function's local folder in the terminal and then run the following:
Node.jsnpm install
Python
pip install functions-framework
To run the local Functions Framework, run the following:
Node.jsnpx functions-framework --target=entryPointPython
functions-framework --target=entryPoint
To find the entryPoint
of your function, open your launch.json
file and look for the assigned value of entryPoint
.
For example, if you're using Cloud Code's Hello World sample application, the configuration appears as follows:
"entryPoint": "helloHttp",
To test your function, when prompted, click Open in Browser, or click + New Terminal and run the following:
curl http://localhost:8080/
Note: By default, your function will be accessible at localhost:8080
.
This shows the context of the function in the terminal.
