Introduction:

• In this session, we will look at how to implement functions in Cloud Application Programming Model

 

Synopsis:

• In OData specifications, Functions are operations exposed by an OData Service that must have no observable side effects


• Functions must return data - If there are no side effects and if it doesn't return any data then what is the point in having a function ?

 

Steps:

• In this example, we will start off with creating a very simple function in Cloud Application Programming Model


• We will then create a slightly more complex function


• We start with 2 entities: Projects and Users


• There is a 1 to many relationship between Projects and Users.  So a Project can have multiple Users, while a User can belong to only 1 Project


• We will then create a function that returns the list of Users for a given Project
