Two "name" properties in the function bindings information?

Question

Hello,

In the learning module for 'Explore Azure Functions', on the page here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/develop-azure-functions/2-azure-function-development-overview
Right before the 'Function App' section of the page there is a table that explains the different bindings for a function.json file. In the table, it says that both the type and name bindings are the "name of the binding". Is this true? If it is, can someone explain to me how they differ? I was assuming that type would be more like a variable type, ie: string, integer, array, etc.

Thank you for any and all help!

Hello @Nicholas Ellingson,

welcome to this moderated Azure community forum.

The 'Type' name is describing the trigger (which is a function coded in your favorite language).

The 'Name' name is the name of a/the parameter in the function code.

Here is an example:
