GitHub Actions for Azure (official examples): https://github.com/Azure/actions-workflow-samples

appcontent.yml - Used to deploy my app content to the Azure App Service. Using this sample provided by Microsoft, with very minor modifications.

It's using GitHub Secrets. This guide helps: https://github.com/Azure/actions-workflow-samples/blob/master/assets/create-secrets-for-GitHub-workflows.md

For this exercise we need a personal access token from github. To ensure that the action has access to the GitHub token which you, by the way, should never expose to the public - we will place it in the secrets of the repo.

First we'll need to make some repo secrets. Here's a nice guide from Azure explaining how to do just that. It isn't difficult at all.

Add Actions secrets for the FTPS credentials. In our example the secret names are WP_USER and WP_PASSWORD.

Yep. For the projects I’ve worked on, the Azure Functions for scheduling were in their own `functions` folder at the root of the repository. Upon successful deployment of the main app, we’d then deploy the functions. Aside from that deployment happening after the main app’s, we use the same deployment configuration as the official example for GitHub Actions with Python functions: https://github.com/Azure/actions-workflow-samples/blob/master/FunctionApp/linux-python-functionapp-on-azure.yml.

We have 1 user that we use for deployment. We keep the username and password of this user in a Secret (all platforms support some form of secrets, here is some docs on Github Actions specifically).

I followed the official documentation (Link) and used the pre-defined template and it worked out of the box.

If you can't and have to deal with this time bomb. Simply use the azure sdk https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-js

One of the things I tried was opting into the Interactive Browser of the DefaultAzureCredential as described in that blog post. But even though, I could see the browser method in the src (https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-js/blob/main/sdk/identity/identity/src/credentials/defaultAzureCredential.browser.ts), I couldn't figure how to opt into this when using the actual SDK. I couldn't find that method in the npm package in Azure Identity, and the documentation (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/@azure/identity/defaultazurecredentialoptions?view=azure-node-latest) didn't help me either. If this is the correct option for my use case, I would like to understand how to opt into it and use it.

In the meantime an new library arrived (Link) that support state-of-the-art JavaScript and TypeScript. To be honest, I was too lazy to switch, as the API changed a bit or maybe I just wanted to keep some work for later improvement ... who knows 😇

JavaScript

Azure/azure-sdk-for-js (TypeScript): This repository is for active development of the Azure SDK for JavaScript (NodeJS & Browser). For consumers of the SDK we recommend visiting our public developer docs at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/azure/ or our versioned developer docs at https://azure.github.io/azure-sdk-for-js.
