GitFx - Create a serverless service in Git hosting

GitFx can be used to run some functions and serve the output as a service in a Git hosting.

GitFx is a Python lib extracted from an action ActionServerless. And now the action uses this lib as a dependency to do the real job, you can run the lib locally in a same way as in the action.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.5+
• Docker

Install

pip3 install gitfx

# or
python3 -m pip install gitfx

Note: Python 2 is not supported

Usage

Let's start with a Python code that'll be used to create a serverless service:

# function.py
import json

# GET /api/py_hello.json

print(json.dumps({"hello": "world"}))

put the program to a path under current directory, for example, test folder and run:

python3 -m gitfx test/

then the program's output is written to a file located in api/py_hello.json that you defined as a route in the comment.

You can use the ActionServerless to run functions in GitHub, and also you can run locally as above example then push the generated files to the remote.

more languages' examples you can find here.
