= TypeScript context objects
To invoke a function, you provide a `context` object as the first parameter. Accessing properties of the `context` object can provide information about the incoming HTTP request.
.Example context object
[source,javascript]
----
function handle(context:Context): string
----
This information includes the HTTP request method, any query strings or headers sent with the request, the HTTP version, and the request body. Incoming requests that contain a `CloudEvent` attach the incoming instance of the CloudEvent to the context object so that it can be accessed by using `context.cloudevent`.
[id="serverless-typescript-functions-context-objects-methods_{context}"]
== Context object methods
The `context` object has a single method, `cloudEventResponse()`, that accepts a data value and returns a CloudEvent.
In a Knative system, if a function deployed as a service is invoked by an event broker sending a CloudEvent, the broker examines the response. If the response is a CloudEvent, this event is handled by the broker.
.Example context object method
[source,javascript]
----
// Expects to receive a CloudEvent with customer data
export function handle(context: Context, cloudevent?: CloudEvent): CloudEvent {
// process the customer
const customer = cloudevent.data;
const processed = processCustomer(customer);
return context.cloudEventResponse(customer)
.source('/customer/process')
.type('customer.processed')
.response();
}
----
[id="serverless-typescript-functions-context-types_{context}"]
== Context types
The TypeScript type definition files export the following types for use in your functions.
.Exported type definitions
[source,javascript]
----
// Invokable is the expeted Function signature for user functions
export interface Invokable {
(context: Context, cloudevent?: CloudEvent): any
}
// Logger can be used for structural logging to the console
export interface Logger {
debug: (msg: any) => void,
info: (msg: any) => void,
warn: (msg: any) => void,
error: (msg: any) => void,
fatal: (msg: any) => void,
trace: (msg: any) => void,
}
// Context represents the function invocation context, and provides
// access to the event itself as well as raw HTTP objects.
export interface Context {
log: Logger;
req: IncomingMessage;
query?: Record<string, any>;
body?: Record<string, any>|string;
method: string;
headers: IncomingHttpHeaders;
httpVersion: string;
httpVersionMajor: number;
httpVersionMinor: number;
cloudevent: CloudEvent;
cloudEventResponse(data: string|object): CloudEventResponse;
}
// CloudEventResponse is a convenience class used to create
// CloudEvents on function returns
export interface CloudEventResponse {
id(id: string): CloudEventResponse;
source(source: string): CloudEventResponse;
type(type: string): CloudEventResponse;
version(version: string): CloudEventResponse;
response(): CloudEvent;
}
----
[id="serverless-typescript-functions-context-objects-cloudevent-data_{context}"]
== CloudEvent data
If the incoming request is a CloudEvent, any data associated with the CloudEvent is extracted from the event and provided as a second parameter. For example, if a CloudEvent is received that contains a JSON string in its data property that is similar to the following:
[source,json]
----
{
"customerId": "0123456",
"productId": "6543210"
}
----
When invoked, the second parameter to the function, after the `context` object, will be a JavaScript object that has `customerId` and `productId` properties.
.Example signature
[source,javascript]
----
function handle(context: Context, cloudevent?: CloudEvent): CloudEvent
----
The `cloudevent` parameter in this example is a JavaScript object that contains the `customerId` and `productId` properties.
