# Functions

Kubemq gcp Cloud Functions target connector allows services using kubemq server to access call a function target on gcp Cloud Function. The connector synchronously invokes a deployed Cloud Function, very limited traffic is allowed 16 per 100 seconds.

## Prerequisites

The following are required to run the redis target connector:

* kubemq cluster
* Gcp Cloud function targe.
* kubemq-targets deployment

## Configuration

Kafka source connector configuration properties:

| Properties Key  | Required | Description                                    | Example       |
| --------------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ------------- |
| project         | yes      | gcp project name                               | "testproject" |
| credentials     | yes      | gcp service account key location (json)        | "TestTopic"   |
| location\_match | no       | match missing function location (default true) | "true"        |

Example:

```yaml
bindings:
  - name: kubemq-query
    source:
      kind: kubemq.kubemq.query
      name: kubemq-query
      properties:
        address: "kubemq-cluster:50000"
        client_id: "kubemq-query-gcpfucntions-connector"
        auth_token: ""
        channel: "query.gcp.functions"
        group:   ""
        auto_reconnect: "true"
        reconnect_interval_seconds: "1"
        max_reconnects: "0"
    target:
      kind: gcp.cloudfunctions
      name: target-gcp-couldfunctions
      properties:
        project: "testproject"
        credentials: "myKey"
        location_match: "true"
```

## Usage

### Get Request

Get request metadata setting:

| Metadata Key | Required | Description                                          | Possible values  |

| project      | no       | gcp project name (override parent value)             | "testproject1"   |
| location     | no       | gcp project location (missing value will be matched) | "us-central1"    |

Example:

```javascript
{
  "metadata": {
