Specify dependencies in .NET
.NET Cloud Run functions use
Microsoft Build Engine (MSBuild) project files.
These files are central to the build and deployment
process. For C# the file extension is .csproj
, for F# it is .fsproj
, and
for Visual Basic it is .vbproj
.
For example, here is the .csproj
file for the C# Hello World sample:
You can add libraries to your function's project file as follows:
dotnet add package MY_LIBRARY
The Functions Framework is a required dependency for all functions. Although Cloud Run functions installs it on your behalf when the function is created, we recommend that you include it as an explicit dependency for clarity.
If your
function relies on private dependencies, we recommend that you
mirror functions-framework
to your private registry. Include the mirrored
functions-framework
as a dependency to your function to avoid installing the
package from the public internet.
