This repository contains the solution for the Season of Serverless Challenge week 3 aka "The Longest Kebab" via Azure Functions in TypeScript
The solution is a simple Azure Function that provides a GET endpoint. Based on the query parameter weightingrams (which is the weight of the ground lamb in grams) the function calcuates:
- The number of servings
- The length of the kebab three variants depending on the diameter of the kebab)
- The recipe for the kebab
- The calculation of the serving is based on the recipe provided in the challenge description. The base unit is 453 grams of ground lamb which delivers 4 servings
- The length of the kebab is calculated based on the following assumptions:
- The average density of ground lamb is 0.96 g/ml (comparable to beef). With this information we can calulate the volume of the lamb (we neglect the volume added by the other ingredients)
- We assume the basic geometric form of kebab is a cylinder so the volume is V = r² * h * 𝜋. Consequently we can calculate the length as a variable of the radius.
- We calculate the length of the kebab in cm for 3 possible diameters (3, 6 and 9 cm)
- The evaluation of the recipe is also based on the values given here
You can run the functions locally via npm run start. Several HTTP calls are available in the file requests.http (required: REST CLient extension in VSCode)
