Version compatibility issue Azure functions' Node and DirectlineJS es6 exports

问题

End Goal:

To create Azure Function running Botframework-DirectlineJS with binding to Bot (Framework) using DirectLine secret.

Issue:

The above mentioned Botframework-DirectlineJS uses ES6 export and Azure Functions support Node 6.5.0 max doc. Hence the question how to import successfully the DirectlineJS in the index.js file of Azure function?

Error

```

Currently the error was while trying to use npm import-export

Files

index.js

require('import-export');
require ('./importexportwrapper');
let directLine = new DirectLine({
    secret: 'DirectlineSecretValue-here'
  }
  );```

importexportwrapper.js

import { DirectLine } from 'botframework-directlinejs';

回答1:

Unfortunately it seems like import-export or node-hook doesn't play well with functions / edgejs (the environment we use to run node).

A couple options to try:

use babel to transpile es6 to es5 as a part of your deployment process.
write your function in typescript (index.ts) which will do import transpilation automatically - though this may fail for module dependencies, I haven't tried it out

回答2:

You have three options: 1) Write your code using ES5, 2) setup a task runner (gulp/grunt/npm scripts) to convert your ES6+ code to ES5 using Babel, or 3) write your code in Typescript and compile it to ES5 via task runner/npm scripts.

The most straight-forward method would be: in your file importexportwrapper.js use require instead of import.

Example:

var directline = require('botframework-directlinejs');

Babel + Gulp Option

Install: npm install --save-dev gulp gulp-babel

Run:

var gulp = require("gulp");
var babel = require("gulp-babel");

gulp.task("default", function () {
  return gulp.src("src/app.js") // your source files
    .pipe(babel())
    .pipe(gulp.dest("dist")); // your compiled output directory
});
