Unable to add function binding--vscode workspace local project is not showing my-function

Question

Hello everyone,
I am developing azure function(javascript) locally on VSCODE. The azure vscode extension show us our function name under workspace-->localproject-->function-->our-function-name and from there we could add binding to input/output to anywhere(i-e cosmos db). but I am only seeing start debugging instead of my function name.
How i will be able to add bindings now?

Hi @hamza ali

It looks like you just created a function project without any functions in it. To add the function with the binding, you can click the Azure Function icon and select Create New Function from the context menu.

This will bring up a wizard that will step you through creating a trigger function. Or, you could add the function yourself by creating the method and decorating that method with app.cosmosdb_trigger attribute:

@app.cosmos_db_trigger(name="documents", 
                       connection="CONNECTION_SETTING",
                       database_name="DB_NAME", 
                       container_name="CONTAINER_NAME", 
                       lease_container_name="leases",
                       create_lease_container_if_not_exists="true")
def test_function(documents: func.DocumentList) -> str:
    if documents:
        logging.info('Document id: %s', documents[0]['id'])
