Binding attributes are defined in the function.json file for a given function. Depending on the binding type, additional properties may be required. The queue output configuration describes the fields required for an Azure Storage queue binding. The extension makes it easy to add bindings to the function.json file.
To create a binding, right-click (Ctrl+click on macOS) the function.json file in your HttpTrigger folder and choose Add binding.... Follow the prompts to define the following binding properties for the new binding:
| Prompt | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Select binding direction | out |
The binding is an output binding. |
| Select binding with direction... | Azure Queue Storage |
The binding is an Azure Storage queue binding. |
| The name used to identify this binding in your code | msg |
Name that identifies the binding parameter referenced in your code. |
| The queue to which the message will be sent | outqueue |
The name of the queue that the binding writes to. When the queueName doesn't exist, the binding creates it on first use. |
| Select setting from "local.setting.json" | AzureWebJobsStorage |
The name of an application setting that contains the connection string for the Storage account. The AzureWebJobsStorage setting contains the connection string for the Storage account you created with the function app. |
A binding is added to the bindings array in your function.json, which should look like the following:
:::code language="json" source="~/functions-docs-javascript/functions-add-output-binding-storage-queue-cli/HttpExample/function.json" range="18-24":::
