        # Netlify Functions examples

Hi there! This is a playground repo to test out [Netlify’s Lambda Functions](https://www.netlify.com/docs/functions). You can see a live

demo of the examples at https://functions-playground.netlify.com.

If you want your own copy to play around with, the quickest way to get it up

and running is clicking the Deploy to Netlify button below. It will clone

this repository into your own account, and deploy the site to Netlify.

[![Deploy to Netlify](https://www.netlify.com/img/deploy/button.svg)](https://app.netlify.com/start/deploy?repository=https://github.com/netlify/netlify-functions-example)

  * [Adding an example](#adding-an-example)

## Setup

To run the examples locally, here’s what you’ll need:

**System Requirements:**

* [git](https://git-scm.com)

* [NodeJS](nodejs.org) 8 or greater

* [yarn](yarnpkg.com)

`cd` into your local copy of the repository and run `yarn` or `npm install`

```

cd netlify-functions-example

yarn

```

## Running the examples

```

yarn start

```

This will start the client server on http://localhost:8080, and the netlify-lambda server on http://localhost:9000.

[netlify-lambda](https://github.com/netlify/netlify-lambda) isn’t required to deploy Lambda functions to Netlify, but it offers some handy features out of the box that make it quicker to get started, like the local dev server and nice defaults for transpiling and bundling functions in production.

The client server is configured to proxy `/.netlify` requests to the Lambda server (see [webpack.client.js](webpack.client.js)). This is the same behavior the site has when it’s deployed to Netlify.

  Make sure to include the following fields. If there is no live demo/blog post etc, you can omit the `url` from the object.

  ```json

  {

    "name": "netlify-functions-apollo-graphql",

    "description": "Deploying Apollo graphql on netlify functions ",

    "code": "https://github.com/stubailo/apollo-netlify-lambda-app",

    "url": "https://blog.apollographql.com/deploy-a-fullstack-apollo-app-with-netlify-45a7dfd51b0b"

  }

  ```

2. Regenerate the `README.md` with the following command

  ```bash

  npm run docs

  ```

3. Open a new pull request with your example.
