Yandex.Cloud function typescript starter

This project is created for people who want to start creating the Yandex.Cloud functions using Typescript.

One of the advantages of creating cloud functions using TypeScript is that you can use new JavaScript features such as Nullish Coalescing Operator, etc.

Includes

• Typescript
• Jest
• Eslint
• CI/CD using github actions

How to begin

1. Clone repository
2. Remove .git folder: rm -rf .git
3. Set remote origin to your github repo
4. Setup secret tokens to deploy function using GitHub Actions

How to deploy function to the Yandex.Cloud

1. Github Actions (the recommended way)

Deployment to the Yandex.Cloud is made using a third-party package: Goodsmileduck/yandex-serverless-action.

You can specify additional options for Goodsmileduck/yandex-serverless-action here: ./github/workflows/workflow.yml

To start the automatic process CI / CD, you must specify some Actions secrets:

• YC_TOKEN - Required. Token to use Yandex.Cloud CLI. Copy it from here
• YC_FUNCTION_ID - Required. The identifier of the function you want to deploy. (To begin with, you need to create it manually)
• YC_SERVICE_ACCOUNT - Optional. If you want to get a service account token in the function context parameter to access the YC API inside the function.

In the case of a successful setup, after Push / Pull request to the main branch, it will test the function, build it and deploy to the Yandex.Cloud.

2. Manual upload via Yandex.Cloud console

1. Build the function with npm run build script
2. Archive the content of the dist folder
3. Upload zip archive via Yandex.Cloud console

3. Create function via Yandex.Cloud CLI

1. Build the function with npm run build script
2. Run Yandex.Cloud CLI command (replace ${YOUR_FUNCTION_ID} with yout function id):

yc serverless function version create \
--runtime nodejs12 \
--entrypoint index.handler \
--memory 128m \
--execution-timeout 3s \
--source-path ./dist \
--function-id ${YOUR_FUNCTION_ID}

Some tips

Create archive with build

You can run npm run build:zip script to build and pack function into zip archive.

Exclude devDependencies from package.json

If you don't want to deploy package.json with devDependecies (to avoid limits for installing dependencies), then you can use jq to delete devDependecies property from package.json:

cat <<< $(jq 'del(.devDependencies)' package.json) > dist/package.json

Usage with yarn

If you are using Yarn, then to prevent CI/CD errors about differences in package versions, you need to update the .github/workflows/workflow.yaml to install packages with the yarn install --frozen-lockfile instead of npm ci command.
