Netlify Server Functions

README.md

Server Less Functions

Instructions

• Create a netlify.toml file for using serverless functions on the website hosted on Netlify.
• If any other hosting service search for the documentation for creating .toml file.
• Put the functions in the functions directory in the root of the project.
• Every function file must contain one export handler and only that will be valid and can be used.

  exports.handler = async function(event, context) {...};

• Add statusCode field in the return object

  return {
    statusCode: code,
    body: JSON.stringify({...}),
  }

• For any further refrence checkout this vedio on youtube by Ania Kubow
