The OpenFaas template with Node 16 and TypeScript support and handler function types.

In order to run this template you need to install openfaas and faas-cli. Instructions here: https://docs.openfaas.com/cli/install/

1. Run faas-cli template pull https://github.com/pawelotto/openfaas-node16-typescript
2. Run faas-cli new --list to verify the template has been added as node16-typescript language
3. Run faas-cli new <your_function_name> --lang node16-typescript to scaffold the function directory and files
4. Edit the <your_function_name>.yml file:

• add /dist at the end of the handler entry because that's where your output handler.js file will be built to
• specify your Docker repo in the image yaml entry. If you're using a private Docker repo make sure to add your secret to the openfaas cluster: (https://docs.openfaas.com/reference/private-registries/)

5. Chdir to <your_function_name> and run yarn to install dependencies
6. Edit <your_function_name>/src/handler.ts to match your needs
7. Run yarn faas:build to compile ts sources and copy package.json file
8. Run faas-cli login -g <your_faas_gateway_address> --password <password>
9. Chdir up to main dir and run faas-cli up -f <your_function_name>.yml to build, push and deploy your function
