Description

You can now generate function apps by importing an OpenAPI specification via the Azure Functions VS Code extension or command line. This new capability automatically generates all the necessary functions for your API, preconfigured based on the OpenAPI specification. Once generated, you add the business logic to each function/route as necessary. We currently support C#, Python, TypeScript, Java, with support for JavaScript and PowerShell coming in the near future.

If you have an existing API hosted on Azure and you’re interested in exploring a serverless architecture or consumption-based billing model, this new capability is a fast track for getting started with Azure Functions.
