Dart

An open source FaaS (Function as a Service) framework for writing portable Dart functions, brought to you by the Google Dart and Cloud Functions teams.

The Functions Framework lets you write lightweight functions that run in many different environments, including:

Google Cloud Functions does not currently provide an officially supported Dart language runtime, but we're working to make running on Google Cloud Run as seamless and symmetric an experience as possible for your Dart Functions Framework projects.

The framework allows you to go from:

examples/hello/lib/functions.dart

import 'package:functions_framework/functions_framework.dart';
import 'package:shelf/shelf.dart';

@CloudFunction()
Response function(Request request) => Response.ok('Hello, World!');

To:

curl https://<your-app-url>
# Output: Hello, World!

All without needing to worry about writing an HTTP server or request handling logic.

See more demos under the examples directory.

Features

  • Invoke a function in response to a request
  • Automatically unmarshal events conforming to the CloudEvents spec
  • Portable between serverless platforms
