Google Code-in

Google Cloud Function is a platform whereby you can execute your server-side code without the need of setting up the server environment.

Task Description

You are to create a Google Cloud Function that sends "Hello World" back to the user. This should be able to give a response back to any anyone that calls the Cloud Function using a cURL, an HTTP request or a URL request from a browser.

Getting Started

You need to install Node.js on your machine. If you don't already have the Node.js environment, download the executable from their website Node.js.

Example

• (https://us-central1-myreddit-clone.cloudfunctions.net/getContactList) The above link is a Google Cloud Function I set up for my tutorial am about to release on Medium. Navigating to the URL will run the Cloud Function associated with it. You will see on the screen of your browser the lists of contacts it fetched from the Cloud Store. Take a cue from that and create your own Cloud Function that will display "Hello World" on the user's browser.
