Azure Functions - Import Custom Node Module

Question

I'm experimenting with Azure Functions. I'm trying to use a third-party Node module in my function. However, I've been unable to figure out how to import it.

{
  "id": "aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee",
  "requestId": "aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee",
  "statusCode": 500,
  "errorCode": 0,
  "messsage": "Exception while executing function: Functions.analyze -> Error: Cannot find module 'moment'\n    at Function.Module._resolveFilename .."
}

I'm just trying to import the moment.js Node library. I was unable to find any documentation around this scenario though.

Does anyone know how to import a third-party module into Azure Functions?

In your function app in the Azure portal, click Platform features and Advanced tools (Kudu).

cd into your function directory via Debug console (CMD or PowerShell) and run the command: npm install moment.

This is now out of date. Instead, go to Advanced Tools (Kudo) -> Bash -> cd site/wwwroot -> npm i package

You also can setup it with VsCode:

Azure Functions: Create Function...
Select JavaScript
Select HTTP trigger
Now you can install dependencies with you local NodeJS:

5.You can deploy your function with the extension interface:
