# 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
expects:
config:
- name: SECRET_1
required: true
- name: SECRET_2
required: false
```
`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 example,
'go', 'python', 'java', etc. The runtime 'docker' 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. TODO: Deprecate this?
`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 call 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 configuration variables to be passed onto the function as environment variables.
These configuration options shall override application configuration during functions execution. See [Configuration](developers/configs.md)
for more information.
`expects` (optional) a list of config/env vars that are required to run this function. These vars will be used when running/testing locally,
if found in your local environment. If these vars are not found, local testing will fail.
## 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`.
