Welcome to Memphis Functions

Memphis Functions Is A Faster, Easier, And Dev-First Platform For
Developing Highly-Customizable Event-driven Features and Pipelines By Creating or Employing Serverless Functions.
Memphis Functions has the capability to seamlessly integrate with various streaming platforms and other sources, such as Kafka and S3, enhancing their functionality.

This repository hosts public functions created by Memphis.dev and the community,
accessible across all Memphis.dev deployments and the Cloud.

How to attach a new function

1. Create a Memphis.dev Cloud Account
2. Create a new station
3. Attach a new function
4. Produce some messages

How to develop a new private function

Memphis functions offers two types of function libraries: Public, and private.

The public library is available by default for each account and is powered by Memphis.dev Functions repository.
The private library is available for your account only and therefore requires the user to develop functions and integrate its account with the designated repositories.

A function comprises code files (based on Memphis template) and a memphis.yaml file contained within a unified directory.
The directory ought to be included in a Git repository that's linked with Memphis.
Here is a brief hierarchy diagram of how a compatible function file tree should be constructed:

🚀 Step-by-step Guide:

1. Clone or create a new repository (At the moment, support is exclusively available for GitHub.)
2. Within this repository, establish a fresh directory and initialize it to your chosen programming language

mkdir my-function && cd my-function && npm init -y

3. Copy one of the Memphis Functions templates. For this guide, we chose Node.js
4. Required. Write your logic inside the eventHandler block.
   Incoming events will be accumulated and dispatched to a function collectively in a batch, therefore the wrapper

exports.handler = async (event) => {
    return await createFunction(event, eventHandler);
};

/**
 * https://github.com/memphisdev/memphis.js/tree/functions_wrapper#creating-a-memphis-function
 * @param {Uint8Array} payload 
 * @param {Object} headers 
 * @param {Object} inputs 
 * @returns {Object} 
 */
function eventHandler(payload, headers, inputs) {
    // Handle event here

    // A short example of converting the payload to a json object and returning it as an Uint8Array
    const decodedPayload = payload.toString('utf-8');
    const asJson = JSON.parse(decodedPayload);

    return {
        processedMessage: Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(asJson), 'utf-8'),
        processedHeaders: headers
    };
}

Messages will return to the Memphis Station in a batch as well.
5. Required. Add or modify the memphis.yaml file based on the following template:

function_name:        #Required. Must be equal to the directory name
runtime:              #Required. [go | nodejs | nodejs16.x | nodejs18.x | python3.8 | python3.9 | python3.10 | python3.11]
dependencies:         #The file name contains the list of dependencies the function making use of - default to [requirements.txt(python) / go.mod(go) / package.json (nodes)]
handler:              #Required for node.js/Python only. The name of the function's entry point - <file name>.<function name> - for example, if your function is called 'handler' and written inside 'main.py', the handler should be main.handler
tags:                 #List of tags
  - tag: json
  - tag: dev
inputs:               #list of input fields that will be injected into your function per attachment
  - name: timestamp
description:          #Description

6. Optional. Add a README file to describe your function so others will know what to do :)
7. Connect the designated repository with your Memphis account
8. my-function should be available through the Functions main page or a station

How to develop a new public function

1. Fork https://github.com/memphisdev/memphis-dev-functions
2. Add your function's directory, including memphis.yaml file
3. Create a PR
4. The addition of the new function will take place following a thorough review and subsequent approval
5. Get your swag pack! 😍
