# Node.js HTTP Function

Welcome to your new Node.js function project! The boilerplate function code can be found in [`index.js`](./index.js). This function will respond to incoming HTTP GET and POST requests. This example function is written synchronously, returning a raw value. If your function performs any asynchronous execution, you can safely add the `async` keyword to the function, and return a `Promise`.

## Local execution

After executing `npm install`, you can run this function locally by executing `npm run local`.

The runtime will expose three endpoints.

* `/` The endpoint for your function.
* `/health/readiness` The endpoint for a readiness health check
* `/health/liveness` The endpoint for a liveness health check

The parameter provided to the function endpoint at invocation is a `Context` object containing HTTP request information.

```js
function handleRequest(context) {
const log = context.log;
log.info(context.httpVersion);
log.info(context.method); // the HTTP request method (only GET or POST supported)
log.info(context.query); // if query parameters are provided in a GET request
log.info(context.body); // contains the request body for a POST request
log.info(context.headers); // all HTTP headers sent with the event
}
```

The health checks can be accessed in your browser at [http://localhost:8080/health/readiness]() and [http://localhost:8080/health/liveness](). You can use `curl` to `POST` an event to the function endpoint:

```console
curl -X POST -d '{"hello": "world"}' \
-H'Content-type: application/json' \
http://localhost:8080
```

The readiness and liveness endpoints use [overload-protection](https://www.npmjs.com/package/overload-protection) and will respond with `HTTP 503 Service Unavailable` with a `Client-Retry` header if your function is determined to be overloaded, based on the memory usage and event loop delay.

## Testing

This function project includes a [unit test](./test/unit.js) and an [integration test](./test/integration.js). All `.js` files in the test directory are run.

```console
npm test
