Run the function locally

1. Run your function by starting the local Azure Functions runtime host from the LocalFunctionProj folder.

   func start

   Toward the end of the output, the following lines must appear:

   

   [!NOTE]
   If HttpExample doesn't appear as shown above, you likely started the host from outside the root folder of the project. In that case, use Ctrl+C to stop the host, go to the project's root folder, and run the previous command again.

2. Copy the URL of your HTTP function from this output to a browser and append the query string ?name=<YOUR_NAME>, making the full URL like http://localhost:7071/api/HttpExample?name=Functions. The browser should display a response message that echoes back your query string value. The terminal in which you started your project also shows log output as you make requests.

3. When you're done, press Ctrl + C and type y to stop the functions host.
