ok, long story short, I just code a bot (BotFramework-v4) that works with Azure Functions.

To run the projects you'll need :

• Azure Functions Core Tools: npm i -g azure-functions-core-tools --unsafe-perm true
• BotFramework Emulator

For any bot, just go to the bot's project, run it with func start, and copy the function's URL in the BotFramework Emulator

FunctionApp: This project has the initial template for an Azure Function App.

BotFunctionApp: This was the first iteration. A simple bot that lives inside an azure function.

BotFunctionAppWithAdapter: The second iteration. This bot lives inside an azure function AND uses a custom adapter called BotFrameworkFunctionsAdapter (implementation here) that has direct integration with azure function's model.

BotFunctionAppWithAdapterAndDI: Take three!! Same than above AND uses Azure Functions's built-in dependency injection.

MainProject:

Sample bot with three responsibilities:

1. Say hello to new users.
2. Tell a joke (yes, just one).
3. Fortune guesser. Also, it has a custom recognizer that uses regex.

SecretProject: Self-explanatory.

SuperSecretProject: Super Self-explanatory.

And that's all.
