gcp-functions-emulator 0.1.0

Emulator for Google Cloud Functions to run in local

This module tries to emulate the environment in Google Cloud Functions for Python. It serves the given function on the given module.

For example. lets imagine we have the following cloud function

# mycloudfunction.py
def api(request):
  return 'important data'

To emulate we have to call it like so:

$ gcpfemu <path/to/file.py> <function_name>

For example, with the code above we will call it:

$ gcpfemu mycloudfunction.py api

And to access the data we can use for example curl:

$ curl localhost:5000/api
important data

If you want to run the emulator programatically you can do drun the server from a terminal, you have to disable the debug. It is disabled by default thoug. Flask looks for file changes, but in interactive terminal there's no file.

from gcpfemu import http 
port = 1234 # use a different port
module_path = 'mycloudfunction.py' # set the path to the code itself
function_name = 'api' # set the function name
http(module_path, function_name, port, debug) # load and serve the function
