AzureFunction

Implements: Container

Description

The AzureFunction class allows you to create an Abstract Azure Function that acts as a container to instantiate and run components and expose them via an external entry point.

Importan points

• When handling calls, the “cmd” parameter determines the action that shall be called, while the other parameters are passed to the action itself.

• The container configuration for this Azure Function is stored in "./config/config.yml" file. But this path can be overriden by CONFIG_PATH environment variable.

References

• *:logger:*:*:1.0: (optional) ILogger components to pass log messages
• *:counters:*:*:1.0: (optional) ICounters components to pass collected measurements
• *:service:azure-function:*:1.0: (optional) IAzureFunctionController services to handle action requests.
• *:service:commandable-azure-function:*:1.0: (optional) CommandableAzureFunctionController services to handle action requests.

Constructors

Creates a new instance of this Azure Function.

AzureFunction(name: Optional[str], description: Optional[str])

• name: Optional[str] - (optional) container’s name (accessible via ContextInfo)
• description: Optional[str] - (optional) container’s description (accessible via ContextInfo)

Fields

Instance methods

act

Calls registered action in this Azure Function. “cmd” parameter in the action parameters determin what action shall be called.

This method shall only be used in testing.

act(self, context: HttpRequest): Any

• context: HttpRequest - action parameters.
• returns: Any - action result.

_execute

Executes this Azure Function and returns the result. This method can be overloaded in child classes if they need to change the default behavior

_execute(context: HttpRequest) -> Any

• context: HttpRequest - context the context parameters (or function arguments)
• returns: str - the result of the function execution.

_get_command

Returns command from Azure Function context. This method can be overloaded in child classes

_get_command(context: HttpRequest): str

• context: HttpRequest - Azure Function context
• returns: str - Returns command from context

_get_trace_id

Returns traceId from Azure Function context. This method can be overloaded in child classes

_get_trace_id(context: HttpRequest): str

• context: HttpRequest - Azure Function context
• returns: str - Returns traceId from context

get_handler

Return plugin function

get_handler(): Callable[[HttpRequest], Any]

• returns: Callable[[HttpRequest], Any] - plugin function

_instrument

Adds instrumentation to log calls and measures call time. It returns a Timing object that is used to end the time measurement.

_instrument(context: Optional[IContext], name: str): InstrumentTiming

• context: IContext - (optional) a context to trace execution through a call chain.
• name: str - method’s name.
• returns: InstrumentTiming - Timing object to end the time measurement.

open

Opens the component.

open(context: Optional[IContext])

• context: IContext - (optional) a context to trace execution through a call chain.

_register_action

Registers an action in this Azure Function.

Note: This method has been deprecated. Use AzureFunctionController instead.

_register_action(cmd: str, schema: Schema, action: Callable[[HttpRequest], Any])

• cmd: str - a action/command name.
• schema: Schema - a validation schema to validate received parameters.
• action: Callable[[HttpRequest], Any] - an action function that is called when action is invoked.

register

Registers all actions in this Azure Function.

Note: Overloading of this method has been deprecated. Use AzureFunctionController instead.

register()

_register_services

Registers all Azure Function services in the container.

_register_services(context: any): string

run

Runs this Azure Function, loads container configuration, instantiate components and manage their lifecycle, makes this function ready to access action calls.

run()

set_references

Sets references to dependent components.

set_references(references: IReferences)

• references: IReferences - references to locate the component’s dependencies.

Examples

class MyAzureFunctionFunction(AzureFunction):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__("mygroup", "MyGroup Azure Function")

azure_function = MyAzureFunctionFunction()
azure_function.run()

print("MyAzureFunctionFunction is started")
