Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "The actual event data is available within the data property of the event object."

A block of code is set as follows:

function handleGET(req, res) {
    res.status(200).send('Hello from HTTP Google Cloud Function!');
}

function handlePUT(req, res) {
    res.status(403).send("Forbidden, you don't have access");
}

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

curl -X POST https://<YOUR_REGION>-<YOUR_PROJECT_ID>.cloudfunctions.net/<FUNCTION_NAME> -H "Content-Type:application/json" --data '{"name":"Kuldeep"}'

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example:

"Select the trigger type as Cloud Pub/Sub topic."
