# Function files
Functions files are used to assist fn to help you when creating functions.
The files can be named as:
- func.yaml
- func.json
An example of a function file:
```yaml
name: fnproject/hello
version: 0.0.1
type: sync
memory: 128
config:
key: value
key2: value2
keyN: valueN
headers:
content-type:
- text/plain
build:
- make
- make test
```
`name` is the name and tag to which this function will be pushed to and the
route updated to use it.
`path` (optional) allows you to overwrite the calculated route from the path
position. You may use it to override the calculated route. If you plan to use
`fn test --remote=""`, this is mandatory.
`version` represents current version of the function. When deploying, it is
appended to the image as a tag.
`runtime` represents programming language runtime, for examples,
`go`, `python3`, `java`, etc. and the `runtime` `docker` when will use the existing Dockerfile if one exists.
`build` (optional) is an array of local shell calls which are used to help
building the function.
`type` (optional) allows you to set the type of the route. `sync`, for functions
whose response are sent back to the requester; or `async`, for functions that
are started and return a task ID to customer while it executes in background.
Default: `sync`.
`memory` (optional) allows you to set a maximum memory threshold for this
function. If this function exceeds this limit during execution, it is stopped
and error message is logged. Default: `128`.
`timeout` (optional) is the maximum time a function will be allowed to run. Default is 30 seconds.
`headers` (optional) is a set of HTTP headers to be returned in the response of
this function calls.
`config` (optional) is a set of configurations to be passed onto the route
setup. These configuration options shall override application configuration
during functions execution.
## Hot functions
hot functions support also adds two extra options to this configuration file.
`format` (optional) is one of the streaming formats covered at [function-format.md](function-format.md).
`idle_timeout` (optional) is the time in seconds a container will remain alive without receiving any new requests;
hot functions will stay alive as long as they receive a request in this interval. Default: `30`.
## Testing functions
`tests` (optional) is an array of tests that can be used to valid functions both
locally and remotely. It has the following structure
```yaml
tests:
- name: envvar
in: "inserted stdin"
out: "expected stdout"
err: "expected stderr"
env:
envvar: trololo
```
`in` (optional) is a string that is going to be sent to the file's declared
function.
`out` (optional) is the expected output for this function test. It is present
both in local and remote executions.
`err` (optional) similar to `out`, however it read from `stderr`. It is only
available for local machine tests.
`env` (optional) is a map of environment variables that are injected during
tests.
