### **This tutorial assumes you already have an instance of Azure Search running. See the documentation here to get started with Azure Search https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/**

If you're unfamiliar with Azure Search Cognitive Skills you can read more about them here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/cognitive-search-concept-intro

## Prerequisites

Before running this sample, you must have the following:

* Install [Azure Core Tools version 2.x](functions-run-local.md#v2).

* Install the [Azure CLI]( /cli/azure/install-azure-cli). This article requires the Azure CLI version 2.0 or later. Run `az --version` to find the version you have.  
You can also use the [Azure Cloud Shell](https://shell.azure.com/bash).


## Deploy Docker Container to Azure Functions using Azure CLI

The first step is deploy your own instance of the Skills Extractor Azure Function.
You can build and host the container yourself from this repo or use the prebuilt container on Docker Hub: `kabirkhan14/azure-functions-skills-extractor`

> For a more complete walktrhough of deploying Azure Functions, Follow instructions here: 
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-create-function-linux-custom-image#create-a-resource-group



## Create a resource group

```azurecli-interactive
az group create --name myResourceGroup --location westus
```

## Create an Azure Storage account

```azurecli-interactive
az storage account create --name <storage_name> --location westus --resource-group myResourceGroup --sku Standard_LRS
```

## Create an App Service Plan for Linux

```azurecli-interactive
az appservice plan create --name myAppServicePlan --resource-group myResourceGroup --sku B1 --is-linux
```

## Create and deploy the custom image

The function app hosts the execution of your functions. Create a function app from a Docker Hub image by using the az functionapp create command.

```azurecli-interactive
az functionapp create --name <app_name> --storage-account  <storage_name>  --resource-group myResourceGroup \
--plan myAppServicePlan --deployment-container-image-name kabirkhan14/azure-functions-skills-extractor
```

## Configure the function app

The function needs the connection string to connect to the default storage account. The following command will add the necessary `AzureWebJobsStorage` setting to your function application settings

```azurecli-interactive
storageConnectionString=$(az storage account show-connection-string --resource-group myResourceGroup --name <storage_name> --query connectionString --output tsv)

az functionapp config appsettings set --name <app_name> \
--resource-group myResourceGroup \
--settings AzureWebJobsDashboard=$storageConnectionString \
AzureWebJobsStorage=$storageConnectionString
```

# Create a new Cognitive Skill in Azure Search

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/cognitive-search-custom-skill-interface

## Add a `skills` field to your search index

Open your search index in the Azure Portal and add a new field with a skills field.
You can also update your search index using the Azure Search REST API docs here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/search-what-is-an-index

![Skills Field](docs/media/skills_field.jpg)



## Get the Function Url from the Azure Portal

Open the [Azure Portal](https://portal.azure.com) and navigate to the function app you created to in the previous step.

Click Get Function URL

![Click the Get Function Url Button](docs/media/get_function_url_btn.jpg)

And copy the Function URL


![Click the Get Function Url Button](docs/media/function_url.jpg)


## Create a new skillset in Azure Search that points to your function url

Change content `"source": "document/content"` to the attribute that has the most text in for each document in your search index. 

For Example: `"source": "document/description"` if you have a `description` attribute for each document in your search index.

```http
PUT https://[servicename].search.windows.net/skillsets/extractSkills?api-version=2017-11-11-Preview
api-key: [admin key]
Content-Type: application/json
```
```json
{
    "skills": [
      ...,  
      {
        "@odata.type": "#Microsoft.Skills.Custom.WebApiSkill",
        "description": "Extract skills from each document",
        "uri": "[Your function url here]",
        "batchSize": 100,
        "context": "/document",
        "inputs": [
          {
            "name": "text",
            "source": "/document/content"
          }
        ],
        "outputs": [
          {
            "name": "skills",
            "targetName": "skills"
          }
        ]
      }
  ]
}
```

## Create a new indexer to map the `skills` output field to a search index

```http
PUT https://[servicename].search.windows.net/indexers/[indexer name]?api-version=2017-11-11-Preview
api-key: [admin key]
Content-Type: application/json
```
```json
{
    "name": "myIndexer",
    "dataSourceName": "myDataSource",
    "targetIndexName": "myIndex",
    "skillsetName": "extractSkills",
    "outputFieldMappings": [
        {
            "sourceFieldName": "/document/skills",
            "targetFieldName": "skills"
        }
    ]
}
```

## Check your search index and you should see a new skills array 


```http
PUT https://[servicename].search.windows.net/indexes/[indexer name]/docs?api-version=2017-11-11-Preview&search=machine learning
api-key: [admin key]
Content-Type: application/json
```

## Troubleshooting

*   ### If you get timeout errors while running the indexer in Azure Search, change `batchSize` in the skillset definition to a lower number (e.g. 50)

For Example:
```http
PUT https://[servicename].search.windows.net/skillsets/extractSkills?api-version=2017-11-11-Preview
api-key: [admin key]
Content-Type: application/json
```
```json
{
    "skills": [
      ...,  
      {
        "@odata.type": "#Microsoft.Skills.Custom.WebApiSkill",
        "description": "Extract skills from each document",
        "uri": "[Your function url here]",
        "batchSize": 50,
        "context": "/document",
        "inputs": [
          {
            "name": "text",
            "source": "/document/content"
          }
        ],
        "outputs": [
          {
            "name": "skills",
            "targetName": "skills"
          }
        ]
      }
  ]
}
```
