How to include my nodejs libraries with Google Cloud Functions

Question

I've just made my first decent Google Cloud Function and now I'd like to refactor it into libraries.

Example, I've got my Cloud Function and I'd like to require a library I've created, not something installed from NPM.

How do I deploy these libraries to Google Cloud Functions?

Answer 1

If I understand your question correctly, you want to create a module out of your common.js file.

If that is the case, in common.js , export it like so:

export default function(){
  // Here is your common code
}

and then just import it into your function file:

import common from './common.js';

Answer 2

Try using --include-node-modules flag to include node_modules folder with deployed sources.
