Azure Function with Middleware for Simple Authorization

This repository contains a simple Azure Function application that demonstrates how to implement middleware for basic authorization in Azure Functions.

Overview

The application consists of an Azure Function with an HTTP trigger. Middleware is used to perform basic authorization by validating a simple API key passed in the request header. If the API key is valid, the function proceeds with the intended operation; otherwise, it returns a "Forbidden" response.

Features

Azure Function with HTTP trigger. Middleware for basic authorization using API key. Simple implementation for demonstration purposes.

Prerequisites

Azure Functions Core Tools .NET SDK Visual Studio Code or any other preferred code editor Getting Started Follow these steps to set up and run the application locally:

Clone this repository:

bash Copy code git clone https://github.com/stevsharp/AzzureFunctionAndMiddleware.git Navigate to the project directory: bash Copy code cd AzzureFunctionAndMiddleware Install dependencies: bash Copy code dotnet restore Run the application locally: bash Copy code func start Test the Azure Function using a tool like curl or Postman by sending a request with the appropriate API key in the header. Configuration To configure the application, modify the local.settings.json file:

ApiKey: Set the API key used for authorization.

Usage To use the Azure Function with middleware for authorization:

Ensure the Azure Function is deployed to your Azure environment. Set the appropriate API key in the request header when calling the function. Contributing Contributions are welcome!
