## Local Azure Function and SPFx Web Part Development to consume third party APIs

This sample shows how to consume third party APIs through an Azure Functions by a Web Part. In this scenario Vimeo was choose as an example for third party API.
This project contains two separate project folders:

* [VimeoRequest](./VimeoRequest) - contain the Azure Function written in JavaScript
* [VimeoWebPart](./VimeoWebPart) - contain the web part consuming the local running Azure Function

## Used SharePoint Framework Version

## Build Azure Function

To install and run the Azure Function navigate to the folder: [VimeoRequest](./VimeoRequest) and execute the following command.

```sh
npm install
```

This will install all the required NPM packages to run the Azure function

### Additional Configuration Vimeo Azure Function

The folder [VimeoRequest](./VimeoRequest) contains a Azure Function generated with the [Azure Function Core Tools](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-run-local).
The access videos stored on this platform first a new application needs to be created first. To create a new Application navigate to the following web site [https://developer.vimeo.com/apps/new?source=topnav](https://developer.vimeo.com/apps/new?source=topnav)
After the creation of a new Application the created AppID and Secret needs to be entered in the local Azure function configuration.

```jS
{
  "IsEncrypted": false,
  "Values": {
    "AzureWebJobsStorage": "",
    "VimeoAPI": "<Enter APP ID here>",
    "VimeoSecret": "<Enter App Secret here>",
    "VimeoEndPoint": "https://api.vimeo.com"
  }
}
```

A detailed step by step guide on this Azure Function can be found on the blog post: [An Azure Function for an Web Part](https://n8d.at/blog/an-azure-function-for-an-smart-stupid-web-part-part-2/).

#### Run Azure Function

To run this Azure Function execute the following command from inside the VimeoRequest folder.

```sh
func start --useHttps --cert server.pfx --password 'password' --cors '*'
```

To check if the Azure Function is running and returns a result navigate to the following URL in your browser.

```
https://localhost:7071/api/Search?q=Hello%20World
```

#### Run Vimeo Web Part
  
To run the web part execute the following command:

```bash
git clone the repo
npm i
npm i -g gulp
gulp serve
```

This package produces the following:

* lib/* - intermediate-stage commonjs build artifacts
* dist/* - the bundled script, along with other resources
* deploy/* - all resources which should be uploaded to a CDN.
