GitHub Actions sample repository

Instructions

• Fork the repository to your own GitHub account.
• Go to your Azure Function and download your publish profile.
• Add a GitHub secret using PUBLISHSETTINGS for the Name and the content of the publishing profile for the Value.
• In the .github/workflows/fred-api-cicd.yml workflow in Line 10, change the INITIALS environment variable to your initals and commit the changes to the main branch.
• Go to the Actions view and enable them by clicking the green "I understand my workflows, go ahead and enable them" button
• Select the .github/workflows/fred-api-cicd.yml workflow and run it using the Run workflow button. (See: Running a workflow on GitHub)
• After the workflow run you can test the deployment by calling the following URL: https://<INITALS>-fredapi-func-dev.azurewebsites.net/api/SayHello?name=<YOURNAME>

Bonus: Scaffolding the function and infrastructure

This section contains information on how we have created the sample.

Prerequisites

• Azure CLI
• Azure Function CLI

Azure Function project

• Create a local Functions project and select dotnet for the worker runtime:

  func init FredApi

• Create a function with a HTTP trigger

  cd FredApi
  func new --name SayHello --template 'HTTP trigger'

Azure infrastructure

The following script creates a resource group with a storage account and an azure function app

$initials = 'mbr'
$storageAccountName = '{0}0fredapi0dev0stac' -f $initials
$functionappname = '{0}-fredapi-func-dev' -f $initials
$functionAppPlanName = '{0}-fredapi-asp-dev' -f $initials
$resourceGroupName = 'rg-{0}-fredapi-dev' -f $initials

# Create a resource group.
az group create `
  --name $resourceGroupName `
  --location $region

# Create an Azure storage account in the resource group.
az storage account create `
  --name $storageAccountName `
  --location $region `
  --resource-group $resourceGroupName `
  --sku Standard_LRS

# Create an appservice plan
az appservice plan create `
  --name $functionAppPlanName `
  --resource-group $resourceGroupName `
  --location $region `
  --sku B1

# Create a function app in the resource group.
az functionapp create `
    --name $functionAppName `
    --plan $functionAppPlanName `
    --storage-account $storageAccountName `
    --resource-group $resourceGroupName `
    --disable-app-insights `
    --functions-version 3
