Azure Functions currently supports the following languages: C#, JavaScript, F#, Java, Powershell, Python, Typescript. Scala is not on the list.

How can one use scala to write azure functions?

Azure Functions supports Java. And it is pretty straight forward to make it working for scala:


import com.microsoft.azure.functions.ExecutionContext
import com.microsoft.azure.functions.HttpMethod
import com.microsoft.azure.functions.HttpRequestMessage
import com.microsoft.azure.functions.HttpResponseMessage
import com.microsoft.azure.functions.HttpStatus
import com.microsoft.azure.functions.annotation.AuthorizationLevel
import com.microsoft.azure.functions.annotation.FunctionName
import com.microsoft.azure.functions.annotation.HttpTrigger

import java.util.Optional

class ScalaFunction {
  /**
   * This function listens at endpoint "/api/ScalaFunction"
   */
  @FunctionName("ScalaFunction")
  def run(
           @HttpTrigger(
             name = "req",
             methods = Array(HttpMethod.GET, HttpMethod.POST),
             authLevel = AuthorizationLevel.ANONYMOUS) request: HttpRequestMessage[Optional[String]],
           context: ExecutionContext): HttpResponseMessage = {
    context.getLogger.info("Scala HTTP trigger processed a request.")
    request.createResponseBuilder(HttpStatus.OK).body("This is written in Scala. Hello, ").build
  }
}

And this is how the pom.xml looks. There is an added dependency for scala and maven-scala-plugin plugin.

And finally to publish: mvn clean package; mvn azure-functions:deploy
