How to implement functions – Cloud Application Programming Model

Github repository:

To be published soon…

Introduction:

• In this session, we will look at how to implement functions in Cloud Application Programming Model

Synopsis:

• In OData specifications, Functions are operations exposed by an OData Service that must have no observable side effects
• Functions must return data – If there are no side effects and if it doesn’t return any data then what is the point in having a function ?

Steps:

• In this example, we will start off with creating a very simple function in Cloud Application Programming Model
• We will then create a slightly more complex function
• We start with 2 entities: Projects and Users
• There is a 1 to many relationship between Projects and Users.  So a Project can have multiple Users, while a User can belong to only 1 Project
• We will then create a function that returns the list of Users for a given Project
