How to test a Cloud Function in Google Cloud Platform GCP

Question

I've been looking everywhere for the answer to this, but I can't. There is an area under "Testing" under the Cloud Functions heading in the Google Cloud Platform dashboard, but I'm not sure what one would put here to test the function's syntax.

Answer 1

In order to transmit data to HTTPS Callable methods, the body must contain a field called data, the Content-Type must be application/json or application/json; charset=utf-8, and the method must be called using the POST method.

Sample text

{
    "data": {
        "aString": "some string",
        "anInt": 57,
        "aFloat": 1.23,
    }
}

Use of a standard HTTPS function may be more versatile if you are calling a function by writing your own HTTP request.
