Azure Functions for Visual Studio Code (Preview)

Prerequisites

• Install your desired version of the Azure Functions Core Tools
  • For version 2.0 (This version works cross-platform, but is still in preview and not recommended for production):
    • Install .NET Core 2.0
    • Install the Azure Functions Core Tools:

    npm install -g azure-functions-core-tools@core
    

    Note: When installing on Ubuntu, you may need to use sudo. On MacOS and Linux, you may need to include the unsafe-perm flag, as follows:

    sudo npm install -g azure-functions-core-tools@core --unsafe-perm true
    

  • For version 1.0 (This version is only supported on Windows):

    npm install -g azure-functions-core-tools
    

• Install the prerequisites for your desired language:
  • JavaScript
  • C#
  • Java

NOTE: You may change your azureFunctions.projectLanguage user setting to multiple other 'preview' languages not listed above. This allows you to create a project/function in that language, but we do not yet support local debugging for these languages.

Features

• Create new Function projects
• Create new Functions from a template
• Debug Function projects locally
• Deploy to Azure Function Apps
• View, create, delete, start, stop, and restart Azure Function Apps
• JSON Intellisense for function.json, host.json, and proxies.json

Language-Specific Prerequisites

JavaScript

• Node 8.0+

C#

• VS Code Debugger for C#
• .NET CLI
• .NET Templates for Azure Functions
  • You will be automatically prompted to install these templates when you first create a project/function
    • If you are using v2.0 of the Azure Functions runtime, you must install the beta (.NET Core) templates
    • If you are using v1.0 of the Azure Functions runtime, you must install the v1.0 (.NET Framework) templates.

    NOTE: The VS Code Debugger for C# only supports attaching to 64-bit processes. v1.0 of the Azure Functions runtime defaults to 32-bit and you must install a 64-bit version. See here for instructions.

  • You may uninstall or reinstall the templates with the following steps:
    1. Open Command Palette (View -> Command Palette...)
    2. Search for "Azure Functions" and "install" or "uninstall"
    3. Run the corresponding command for .NET templates

NOTE: The default experience for C# uses class libraries (*.cs files), which provide superior performance, scalability, and versatility over C# Scripts (*.csx files). If you want to use C# Scripts, you may change your azureFunctions.projectLanguage user setting to C#Script.

Java

• VS Code Debugger for Java
• JDK 1.8+
• Maven 3.0+
