Support for Azure Functions v4 (?)

[django-speyk]

Is there a way to switch to V4 of the Azure Functions? The docs say that you shouldn't have a function.json, but it seems that that is necessary to use startServerAndCreateHandler?

How should you use startServerAndCreateHandler in this no-json V4 model?

Thanks in advance!

Encountering the same issue as well. Seems the package is still using @azure/functions^3.2.0 when it should be using @azure/functions 4.x which changed how function apps are defined in nodejs

This is related to #42.

Azure Functions v4 is a new programming model for JavaScript/TypeScript and it sees quite a few changes to the types that are used, so it's not a direct upgrade. As it's still in public preview I'm holding off supporting Azure Functions v4.

Makes sense, if you do plan on creating a beta version on a separate branch and are looking for community support I believe some of us on this thread may be interested in helping.

[aaronpowell]

I did explore it early on (when we were prototyping v4) to see what the approach might look like for building libraries on top of the new programming model. I really wanted to do:

import { app } from "@azure/functions";

app.graphql(/* stuff here */);

But it's not possible and ended up having some discussion with the Functions team on what could be good options and there's a few to try but... well... time 😅

Has any further progress been made on this issue, please? Happy (and eager!) to contribute but want to avoid duplicating anyone else's work. Thanks.

[aaronpowell]

No I haven't.

I've moved out of the JavaScript space at Microsoft so am rather time poor to tackle some of the stuff here.

[connorgurney-personal]

No worries, @aaronpowell! I'm happy to start pulling together a PR if you're willing/able to review it?

More than happy to review

Thanks! I might take a little while as I have lots of other stuff on my plate right now and I'm only just getting started with Azure Functions, but I'll submit a proof of concept in the next month or so, and we can no doubt all work towards improving it. Appreciate your help.

@aaronpowell I have fixed the current support of V4 in the current library, Am I allowed to contribute the code??

Sure, submit a PR

Hello everyone, can someone help me set up the repository standard code with the solution?

[douglas-wang]

@aaronpowell @TengoCharlie is there any progress on this please?
Azure functions v4 model is officially live now not in beta anymore.

here is the article for that release: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/generally-available-azure-functions-v4-programming-model-for-nodejs/

[Infracloud-harsh]

@douglas-wang , am looking into it. Will raise a PR soon

I have changes the code as per the function V4. but i have a question that are we going to release another package for function v4 or we will provide support for v4 and v3 by same package?

[aaronpowell]

It'd be best to support them both in a single package

@aaronpowell I just opened a PR to address this issue #66

[danielRChildrens]

Thanks @barddoo, I have tested your PR and works perfectly with Azure functions v4.1.0 and Apollo server v4.10.0

[gidich]

@trevor-scheer / @BlenderDude / @michael-watson - This repo has gone stale from an Apollo support standpoint (the last update was 3 months ago) - several people need to update to Azure Functions Programming model v4, and this pull request is blocking them - It looks like @aaronpowell has their attention turned toward other Microsoft priorities, is this something you can help move forward in his absence? (e.g., reviewing and approving the PR)

As a follow up on this, I just noticed that one cannot access the body in the get context function as one could in V3, as the body can only be parsed once.
