Creating function seems to fail - what is the correct command?

[diberry]

If I look at the list of typescript templates, I see the HTTP trigger.

npx func templates list

If I try to create a new function with that template name, I get an error:

npx func new --template "HTTP trigger" --name graphql

If I walk through the steps via the cli, I find out the number for that template is 10. If I try to use that number, instead of a name, I also get an error.

I don't want to step through the cli choices, I want a single command that answers all the choices - because I'm using this in a doc and don't want the reader to have to step through all the choices either.

@diberry do you still run into this issue if you use func without npx? npx is not currently a supported/tested scenario.

Without npx, how to do I use the tools as a CLI and note a step-through process?

@diberry It's prompting because the folder hasn't been initialized when func new is called. You can get func new to initialize as well by adding the language or by running func init first.

func new --template "HTTP Trigger" --javascript --name graphql

or

func init --javascript
func new --template "HTTP Trigger" --name graphql

@anthonychu - I'm looking for a complete CLI command that I don't have to step through so I can plug it into a script to create a typescript function app. Is that possible or what am I missing?

Does func init --typescript work for you?
