What is the Google Cloud Functions Emulator?

The Google Cloud Functions Emulator is a Node.js application that implements the Google Cloud Functions API, and includes a CLI with which you can manage the application.

The Emulator allows you to deploy, run, and debug your Cloud Functions on your local machine before deploying them to the production Google Cloud Functions service.

How do I get started?

  1. Write a function:

     mkdir helloWorld
     cd helloWorld
     touch index.js
     echo 'exports.helloWorld = (req, res) => res.send("Hello, World!");' > index.js
    
  2. Install the Emulator:

    NPM:

     npm install -g @google-cloud/functions-emulator
    

    Yarn:

     yarn global add @google-cloud/functions-emulator
    

    Or read more in the detailed installation instructions.

  3. Start the Emulator:

     functions start
    

    Note: You can use the alias functions-emulator in the case that your PATH or shell already has a functions command.

  4. Deploy your function:

     functions deploy helloWorld --trigger-http
    

    Get help deploying a function with functions deploy --help.

  5. Call your function:

     functions call helloWorld
    
  6. View the logs:

     functions logs read
    

Where is the documentation?

For a quick reference, the Emulator CLI is self-documenting. Run the following to get help with the CLI:

functions --help

For everything else see the How-To Guides.
