This allows plugins to:
module.exports = {
// Add a Netlify Functions file or directory to a build
async onPreBuild({ utils }) {
await utils.functions.add('./path/to/function')
},
}
Returns: Promise<object[]>
Returns the list of Netlify Functions main files as a Promise resolving to an array of objects with the following properties:
name {string}: Function name, as used in the URL https://{hostname}/.netlify/functions/{name}mainFile {string}: absolute path to the Function's main fileextension {string}: file extension of the Function's main file. For Go Functions, this might be an empty string.
For Node.js Functions, this is either .js or .zip.runtime "js" | "go": Function's programming languageThis throws when no functions directory was specified by the user, or when it points to a non-existing directory.
Returns: Promise<object[]>
Same as list() except it also returns the files required by the Functions main files. This is much slower. The object
have the following additional member:
srcFile {string}: absolute path to the filepath: string
Returns: Promise
