Create a new function in the container
Developing in remote containers is just like developing on your own machine. Add a new endpoint to the API to make the light change rapidly.
Add a new Function with the Azure Functions extension
Set the light color to a random hex value
Restart the project with the VS Code debugger
Visit the danceDance endpoint and refresh your browser
Open the Command Palette (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P)
Select "Azure Functions: Create Function"
Select "HTTPTrigger" from the prompt
Name the function "danceDance"
Select "anonymous" at the next prompt
A new Function is created in a folder called "danceDance"
The Function code file is automatically opened in VS Code
Delete all the code from this "index.js" file and replace it with the following
const bulb = require("../bulb");
module.exports = async function(context, req) {
// generate random hex color
// taken from: https://www.paulirish.com/2009/random-hex-color-code-snippets/
const hex = Math.floor(Math.random() * 16777215).toString(16);
try {
const result = await bulb.setColor(hex);
context.res = {
body: { color: hex }
};
} catch (err) {
context.res = {
body: { message: "LIFX Lamp API is unavailable" }
};
}
};
Press F5 to run the Function app
