This script deploys a Node.js function to Google Cloud Functions, taking the function name as input and configuring it to be triggered by HTTP requests.

Run example

npm run import -- "deploy a cloud function"

deploy a cloud function

gcloud functions deploy $1 --entry-point handler --runtime nodejs8 --trigger-http --source ./.functions

#!/bin/bash

# Set function name from the first command line argument
FUNCTION_NAME=$1

# Verify function name is provided
if [ -z "$FUNCTION_NAME" ]; then
  echo "Error: Function name is required"
  exit 1
fi

# Set source directory to the current working directory
SOURCE_DIR=./.functions

# Deployment command
gcloud functions deploy "$FUNCTION_NAME" \
  --entry-point handler \
  --runtime nodejs8 \
  --trigger-http \
  --source "$SOURCE_DIR"

This code snippet deploys a Node.js function to Google Cloud Functions.

Here's a breakdown:

1. Command:

   • gcloud functions deploy $1 is the primary command to deploy a function using the Google Cloud SDK.
   • $1 represents the function name, which is expected to be provided as the first command-line argument.

2. Configuration Options:

   • --entry-point handler specifies the entry point function name within the deployed code.
   • --runtime nodejs8 sets the runtime environment to Node.js version 8.
   • --trigger-http configures the function to be triggered by HTTP requests.
   • --source ./.functions indicates the source directory containing the function code.

In essence, this script takes a function name as input and deploys a Node.js function to Google Cloud Functions, making it callable via HTTP requests.
