Description

The v4 programming model for Azure Functions using Node.js is now generally available. This programming model is part of Azure Function’s larger effort to provide a flexible and intuitive experience for all supported languages.

With the v4 programming model, customers will benefit from:

  • Flexible folder structure that allows you to organize triggers in a way that makes sense to your Function App
  • Simplified trigger configuration that provides the ability to define functions in your code
  • HTTP request and response types are adjusted to be a subset of the fetch standard instead of types unique to Azure Functions
  • Support for IntelliSense for JavaScript, and improvements to IntelliSense for TypeScript.
