Is this still under active development?

Is this package under active development? I see a fork or two out there and also some old issues. I'm interesting in using this potentially.

@yvele is this still under development?

To anyone who has some information about this, it would be much appreciated. I'm unsure if I should:

A) use the forked version
B) use this version
C) make an effort to combine the above to and keep this repo going.

It seems like a really useful thing to exist, and I feel like it could get a lot of use. I could also be missing something if there's a better package out there or some other approach entirely that's a preferred workflow for people.

@wolfejw86 I moved over to this and its been working like a dream. You can also just plug it in and everything works. https://www.npmjs.com/package/azure-aws-serverless-express

@wpitallo that is archived, and it doesn't work with req.context.log

this issue seems like it's dead? This project is very interesting, because it allows you to have one central folder with one funciton.json and one index.js file and basically route everything from there. I would be interested in supporting this for further development

I have forked this project to https://github.com/bittrance/azure-function-express and intend to maintain my fork. I have included all outstanding pull requests in this repository and some changes from other forks in the network. Support has been updated to Node 8-16 and Azure runtime v1-v3 (v4 is currently untested). Published updated version @bittrance/azure-function-express 2.1.0.

@bittrance do you want admin access to this repository? 🤔 I'm not using Azure anymore and I will not be able to maintain this project anymore.. But why not transferring admin 🤔

[bittrance]

I would love to. However, the important bit is really releasing to npmjs. I don't know if it would be advisable to grant a random passer-by that permission? Though perhaps an evil mastermind would have picked a slightly less obscure module?

Looks like Microsoft now use the express model in Azure Functions Node.js v4: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/apps-on-azure-blog/azure-functions-node-js-v4-programming-model-is-generally/ba-p/3929217

const { app } = require("@azure/functions"); 

app.http('helloWorld1', { 
  methods: ['GET', 'POST'], 
  handler: async (request, context) => { 
    context.log('Http function processed request'); 

    const name = request.query.get('name')  
      || await request.text()  
      || 'world'; 

    return { body: `Hello, ${name}!` }; 
  } 
}); 

🙃

Maybe there is no need for this project anymore

I was able to migrate away from this easily by using: https://github.com/llimos/azfn-express
