Creating functions with Azure Functions

In this section, we’ll learn how to create an Azure function for generating QR codes with .NET and Visual Studio Code, and later, we will use this function in Dynamics 365 Business Central. We’ll also show you how, in an Azure function, you can use standard, custom, and third-party libraries in your code. These libraries will be safely deployed in the cloud when you deploy the Azure Functions app.

In this section, we will use Visual Studio Code to develop our function because it’s the standard development tool that you’re using also for AL development. Please note that Visual Studio (full version) is another recommended tool for creating Azure functions. It will offer a lot of features and wizards for Azure function creation, debugging, and deployment.

For this example, we’ll use a free third-party library called QRCoder for generating QR codes. This library is available on NuGet here: https://www.nuget...
