[!div class="op_single_selector" title1="Select the version of the Azure Functions runtime you are using: "]
This article explains how to work with Azure Cosmos DB bindings in Azure Functions 2.x. Azure Functions supports trigger, input, and output bindings for Azure Cosmos DB.
Note
This article is for Azure Functions version 2.x. For information about how to use these bindings in Functions 1.x, see Azure Cosmos DB bindings for Azure Functions 1.x.
This binding was originally named DocumentDB. In Functions version 2.x, the trigger, bindings, and package are all named Cosmos DB.
[!INCLUDE intro]
[!INCLUDE SQL API support only]
The Azure Cosmos DB bindings for Functions version 2.x are provided in the Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.CosmosDB NuGet package, version 3.x. Source code for the bindings is in the azure-webjobs-sdk-extensions GitHub repository.
[!INCLUDE functions-package-v2]
The Azure Cosmos DB Trigger uses the Azure Cosmos DB Change Feed to listen for inserts and updates across partitions. The change feed publishes inserts and updates, not deletions.
See the language-specific example:
The following example shows a C# function that is invoked when there are inserts or updates in the specified database and collection.
using Microsoft.Azure.Documents;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Host;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
namespace CosmosDBSamplesV2
{
public static class CosmosTrigger
{
[FunctionName("CosmosTrigger")]
public static void Run([CosmosDBTrigger(
databaseName: "ToDoItems",
collectionName: "Items",
ConnectionStringSetting = "CosmosDBConnection",
LeaseCollectionName = "leases",
CreateLeaseCollectionIfNotExists = true)]IReadOnlyList<Document> documents,
ILogger log)
{
if (documents != null && documents.Count > 0)
{
log.LogInformation($"Documents modified: {documents.Count}");
log.LogInformation($"First document Id: {documents[0].Id}");
}
}
}
}
The following example shows a Cosmos DB trigger binding in a function.json file and a C# script function that uses the binding. The function writes log messages when Cosmos DB records are modified.
Here's the binding data in the function.json file:
{
"type": "cosmosDBTrigger",
"name": "documents",
"direction": "in",
"leaseCollectionName": "leases",
"connectionStringSetting": "<connection-app-setting>",
"databaseName": "Tasks",
"collectionName": "Items",
"createLeaseCollectionIfNotExists": true
}
Here's the C# script code:
#r "Microsoft.Azure.Documents.Client"
using System;
using Microsoft.Azure.Documents;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
public static void Run(IReadOnlyList<Document> documents, ILogger log)
{
log.LogInformation("Documents modified " + documents.Count);
log.LogInformation("First document Id " + documents[0].Id);
}
The following example shows a Cosmos DB trigger binding in a function.json file and a JavaScript function that uses the binding. The function writes log messages when Cosmos DB records are modified.
Here's the binding data in the function.json file:
{
"type": "cosmosDBTrigger",
"name": "documents",
"direction": "in",
"leaseCollectionName": "leases",
"connectionStringSetting": "<connection-app-setting>",
"databaseName": "Tasks",
"collectionName": "Items",
"createLeaseCollectionIfNotExists": true
}
Here's the JavaScript code:
module.exports = function (context, documents) {
context.log('First document Id modified : ', documents[0].id);
context.done();
}
The following example shows a Cosmos DB trigger binding in function.json file and a Java function that uses the binding. The function is involved when there are inserts or updates in the specified database and collection.
{
"type": "cosmosDBTrigger",
"name": "items",
"direction": "in",
"leaseCollectionName": "leases",
"connectionStringSetting": "AzureCosmosDBConnection",
"databaseName": "ToDoList",
"collectionName": "Items",
"createLeaseCollectionIfNotExists": false
}
Here's the Java code:
@FunctionName("cosmosDBMonitor")
public void cosmosDbProcessor(
@CosmosDBTrigger(name = "items",
databaseName = "ToDoList",
collectionName = "Items",
leaseCollectionName = "leases",
reateLeaseCollectionIfNotExists = true,
connectionStringSetting = "AzureCosmosDBConnection") String[] items,
final ExecutionContext context ) {
context.getLogger().info(items.length + "item(s) is/are changed.");
}
In the Java functions runtime library, use the @CosmosDBTrigger
annotation on parameters whose value would come from Cosmos DB. This annotation can be used with native Java types, POJOs, or nullable values using Optional.
In C# class libraries, use the CosmosDBTrigger attribute.
The attribute's constructor takes the database name and collection name. For information about those settings and other properties that you can configure, see Trigger - configuration. Here's a CosmosDBTrigger
attribute example in a method signature:
[FunctionName("DocumentUpdates")]
public static void Run(
[CosmosDBTrigger("database", "collection", ConnectionStringSetting = "myCosmosDB")]
IReadOnlyList<Document> documents,
ILogger log)
{
...
}
For a complete example, see Trigger - C# example.
The following table explains the binding configuration properties that you set in the function.json file and the CosmosDBTrigger
attribute.
function.json property | Attribute property | Description |
---|---|---|
type | Must be set to cosmosDBTrigger . |
|
direction | Must be set to in . This parameter is set automatically when you create the trigger in the Azure portal. |
|
name | The variable name used in function code that represents the list of documents with changes. | |
connectionStringSetting | ConnectionStringSetting | The name of an app setting that contains the connection string used to connect to the Azure Cosmos DB account being monitored. |
databaseName | DatabaseName | The name of the Azure Cosmos DB database with the collection being monitored. |
collectionName | CollectionName | The name of the collection being monitored. |
leaseConnectionStringSetting | LeaseConnectionStringSetting | (Optional) The name of an app setting that contains the connection string to the service which holds the lease collection. When not set, the connectionStringSetting value is used. This parameter is automatically set when the binding is created in the portal. The connection string for the leases collection must have write permissions. |
leaseDatabaseName | LeaseDatabaseName | (Optional) The name of the database that holds the collection used to store leases. When not set, the value of the databaseName setting is used. This parameter is automatically set when the binding is created in the portal. |
leaseCollectionName | LeaseCollectionName | (Optional) The name of the collection used to store leases. When not set, the value leases is used. |
createLeaseCollectionIfNotExists | CreateLeaseCollectionIfNotExists | (Optional) When set to true , the leases collection is automatically created when it doesn't already exist. The default value is false . |
leasesCollectionThroughput | LeasesCollectionThroughput | (Optional) Defines the amount of Request Units to assign when the leases collection is created. This setting is only used When createLeaseCollectionIfNotExists is set to true . This parameter is automatically set when the binding is created using the portal. |
leaseCollectionPrefix | LeaseCollectionPrefix | (Optional) When set, it adds a prefix to the leases created in the Lease collection for this Function, effectively allowing two separate Azure Functions to share the same Lease collection by using different prefixes. |
feedPollDelay | FeedPollDelay | (Optional) When set, it defines, in milliseconds, the delay in between polling a partition for new changes on the feed, after all current changes are drained. Default is 5000 (5 seconds). |
leaseAcquireInterval | LeaseAcquireInterval | (Optional) When set, it defines, in milliseconds, the interval to kick off a task to compute if partitions are distributed evenly among known host instances. Default is 13000 (13 seconds). |
leaseExpirationInterval | LeaseExpirationInterval | (Optional) When set, it defines, in milliseconds, the interval for which the lease is taken on a lease representing a partition. If the lease is not renewed within this interval, it will cause it to expire and ownership of the partition will move to another instance. Default is 60000 (60 seconds). |
leaseRenewInterval | LeaseRenewInterval | (Optional) When set, it defines, in milliseconds, the renew interval for all leases for partitions currently held by an instance. Default is 17000 (17 seconds). |
checkpointFrequency | CheckpointFrequency | (Optional) When set, it defines, in milliseconds, the interval between lease checkpoints. Default is always after a successful Function call. |
maxItemsPerInvocation | MaxItemsPerInvocation | (Optional) When set, it customizes the maximum amount of items received per Function call. |
[!INCLUDE app settings to local.settings.json]
The trigger requires a second collection that it uses to store leases over the partitions. Both the collection being monitored and the collection that contains the leases must be available for the trigger to work.
Important
If multiple functions are configured to use a Cosmos DB trigger for the same collection, each of the functions should use a dedicated lease collection or specify a different LeaseCollectionPrefix
for each function. Otherwise, only one of the functions will be triggered. For information about the prefix, see the Configuration section.
The trigger doesn't indicate whether a document was updated or inserted, it just provides the document itself. If you need to handle updates and inserts differently, you could do that by implementing timestamp fields for insertion or update.
The Azure Cosmos DB input binding uses the SQL API to retrieve one or more Azure Cosmos DB documents and passes them to the input parameter of the function. The document ID or query parameters can be determined based on the trigger that invokes the function.
See the language-specific examples that read a single document by specifying an ID value:
This section contains the following examples:
- Queue trigger, look up ID from JSON
- HTTP trigger, look up ID from query string
- HTTP trigger, look up ID from route data
- HTTP trigger, look up ID from route data, using SqlQuery
- HTTP trigger, get multiple docs, using SqlQuery
- HTTP trigger, get multiple docs, using DocumentClient
The examples refer to a simple ToDoItem
type:
namespace CosmosDBSamplesV2
{
public class ToDoItem
{
public string Id { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
}
}
The following example shows a C# function that retrieves a single document. The function is triggered by a queue message that contains a JSON object. The queue trigger parses the JSON into an object named ToDoItemLookup
, which contains the ID to look up. That ID is used to retrieve a ToDoItem
document from the specified database and collection.
namespace CosmosDBSamplesV2
{
public class ToDoItemLookup
{
public string ToDoItemId { get; set; }
}
}
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Host;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
namespace CosmosDBSamplesV2
{
public static class DocByIdFromJSON
{
[FunctionName("DocByIdFromJSON")]
public static void Run(
[QueueTrigger("todoqueueforlookup")] ToDoItemLookup toDoItemLookup,
[CosmosDB(
databaseName: "ToDoItems",
collectionName: "Items",
ConnectionStringSetting = "CosmosDBConnection",
Id = "{ToDoItemId}")]ToDoItem toDoItem,
ILogger log)
{
log.LogInformation($"C# Queue trigger function processed Id={toDoItemLookup?.ToDoItemId}");
if (toDoItem == null)
{
log.LogInformation($"ToDo item not found");
}
else
{
log.LogInformation($"Found ToDo item, Description={toDoItem.Description}");
}
}
}
}
The following example shows a C# function that retrieves a single document. The function is triggered by an HTTP request that uses a query string to specify the ID to look up. That ID is used to retrieve a ToDoItem
document from the specified database and collection.
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.Http;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Host;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
namespace CosmosDBSamplesV2
{
public static class DocByIdFromQueryString
{
[FunctionName("DocByIdFromQueryString")]
public static IActionResult Run(
[HttpTrigger(AuthorizationLevel.Anonymous, "get", "post", Route = null)]
HttpRequest req,
[CosmosDB(
databaseName: "ToDoItems",
collectionName: "Items",
ConnectionStringSetting = "CosmosDBConnection",
Id = "{Query.id}")] ToDoItem toDoItem,
ILogger log)
{
log.LogInformation("C# HTTP trigger function processed a request.");
if (toDoItem == null)
{
log.LogInformation($"ToDo item not found");
}
else
{
log.LogInformation($"Found ToDo item, Description={toDoItem.Description}");
}
return new OkResult();
}
}
}
The following example shows a C# function that retrieves a single document. The function is triggered by an HTTP request that uses route data to specify the ID to look up. That ID is used to retrieve a ToDoItem
document from the specified database and collection.
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.Http;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Host;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
namespace CosmosDBSamplesV2
{
public static class DocByIdFromRouteData
{
[FunctionName("DocByIdFromRouteData")]
public static IActionResult Run(
[HttpTrigger(AuthorizationLevel.Anonymous, "get", "post",
Route = "todoitems/{id}")]HttpRequest req,
[CosmosDB(
databaseName: "ToDoItems",
collectionName: "Items",
ConnectionStringSetting = "CosmosDBConnection",
Id = "{id}")] ToDoItem toDoItem,
ILogger log)
{
log.LogInformation("C# HTTP trigger function processed a request.");
if (toDoItem == null)
{
log.LogInformation($"ToDo item not found");
}
else
{
log.LogInformation($"Found ToDo item, Description={toDoItem.Description}");
}
return new OkResult();
}
}
}
The following example shows a C# function that retrieves a single document. The function is triggered by an HTTP request that uses route data to specify the ID to look up. That ID is used to retrieve a ToDoItem
document from the specified database and collection.
The example shows how to use a binding expression in the SqlQuery
parameter. You can pass route data to the SqlQuery
parameter as shown, but currently you can't pass query string values.
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.Http;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Host;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
namespace CosmosDBSamplesV2
{
public static class DocByIdFromRouteDataUsingSqlQuery
{
[FunctionName("DocByIdFromRouteDataUsingSqlQuery")]
public static IActionResult Run(
[HttpTrigger(AuthorizationLevel.Anonymous, "get", "post",
Route = "todoitems2/{id}")]HttpRequest req,
[CosmosDB("ToDoItems", "Items",
ConnectionStringSetting = "CosmosDBConnection",
SqlQuery = "select * from ToDoItems r where r.id = {id}")]
IEnumerable<ToDoItem> toDoItems,
ILogger log)
{
log.LogInformation("C# HTTP trigger function processed a request.");
foreach (ToDoItem toDoItem in toDoItems)
{
log.LogInformation(toDoItem.Description);
}
return new OkResult();
}
}
}
The following example shows a C# function that retrieves a list of documents. The function is triggered by an HTTP request. The query is specified in the SqlQuery
attribute property.
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.Http;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Host;

ConnectionStringSetting = "CosmosDBConnection",
SqlQuery = "SELECT top 2 * FROM c order by c._ts desc")]
IEnumerable<ToDoItem> toDoItems,
ILogger log)
{
log.LogInformation("C# HTTP trigger function processed a request.");
foreach (ToDoItem toDoItem in toDoItems)
{
log.LogInformation(toDoItem.Description);
}
return new OkResult();
}
}
}
The following example shows a C# function that retrieves a list of documents. The function is triggered by an HTTP request. The code uses a DocumentClient
instance provided by the Azure Cosmos DB binding to read a list of documents. The DocumentClient
instance could also be used for write operations.
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using Microsoft.Azure.Documents.Client;
using Microsoft.Azure.Documents.Linq;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.Http;

using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace CosmosDBSamplesV2
{
public static class DocsByUsingDocumentClient
{
[FunctionName("DocsByUsingDocumentClient")]
public static async Task<IActionResult> Run(
[HttpTrigger(AuthorizationLevel.Anonymous, "get", "post",
Route = null)]HttpRequest req,
[CosmosDB(
databaseName: "ToDoItems",
collectionName: "Items",
ConnectionStringSetting = "CosmosDBConnection")] DocumentClient client,
ILogger log)
{
log.LogInformation("C# HTTP trigger function processed a request.");
var searchterm = req.Query["searchterm"];
if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(searchterm))
{
return (ActionResult)new NotFoundResult();
}
Uri collectionUri = UriFactory.CreateDocumentCollectionUri("ToDoItems", "Items");
log.LogInformation($"Searching for: {searchterm}");
IDocumentQuery<ToDoItem> query = client.CreateDocumentQuery<ToDoItem>(collectionUri)
.Where(p => p.Description.Contains(searchterm))
.AsDocumentQuery();
while (query.HasMoreResults)
{
foreach (ToDoItem result in await query.ExecuteNextAsync())
{
log.LogInformation(result.Description);
}
}
return new OkResult();
}
}
}
This section contains the following examples:
- Queue trigger, look up ID from string
- Queue trigger, get multiple docs, using SqlQuery
- HTTP trigger, look up ID from query string
- HTTP trigger, look up ID from route data
- HTTP trigger, get multiple docs, using SqlQuery
- HTTP trigger, get multiple docs, using DocumentClient
The HTTP trigger examples refer to a simple ToDoItem
type:
namespace CosmosDBSamplesV2
{
public class ToDoItem
{
public string Id { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
}
}
The following example shows a Cosmos DB input binding in a function.json file and a C# script function that uses the binding. The function reads a single document and updates the document's text value.
Here's the binding data in the function.json file:
{
"name": "inputDocument",
"type": "cosmosDB",
"databaseName": "MyDatabase",
"collectionName": "MyCollection",
"id" : "{queueTrigger}",
"partitionKey": "{partition key value}",
"connectionStringSetting": "MyAccount_COSMOSDB",
"direction": "in"
}
The configuration section explains these properties.
Here's the C# script code:
using System;
// Change input document contents using Azure Cosmos DB input binding
public static void Run(string myQueueItem, dynamic inputDocument)
{
inputDocument.text = "This has changed.";
}
The following example shows an Azure Cosmos DB input binding in a function.json file and a C# script function that uses the binding. The function retrieves multiple documents specified by a SQL query, using a queue trigger to customize the query parameters.
The queue trigger provides a parameter departmentId
. A queue message of { "departmentId" : "Finance" }
would return all records for the finance department.
Here's the binding data in the function.json file:
{
"name": "documents",
"type": "cosmosDB",
"direction": "in",
"databaseName": "MyDb",
"collectionName": "MyCollection",
"sqlQuery": "SELECT * from c where c.departmentId = {departmentId}",
"connectionStringSetting": "CosmosDBConnection"
}
The configuration section explains these properties.
Here's the C# script code:
public static void Run(QueuePayload myQueueItem, IEnumerable<dynamic> documents)
{
foreach (var doc in documents)
{
// operate on each document
}
}
public class QueuePayload
{
public string departmentId { get; set; }
}
The following example shows a C# script function that retrieves a single document. The function is triggered by an HTTP request that uses a query string to specify the ID to look up. That ID is used to retrieve a ToDoItem
document from the specified database and collection.

This section contains the following examples that read a single document by specifying an ID value from various sources:
- Queue trigger, look up ID from JSON
- HTTP trigger, look up ID from query string
- HTTP trigger, look up ID from route data
- Queue trigger, get multiple docs, using SqlQuery
The following example shows a Cosmos DB input binding in a function.json file and a JavaScript function that uses the binding. The function reads a single document and updates the document's text value.
Here's the binding data in the function.json file:
{
"name": "inputDocumentIn",
"type": "cosmosDB",
"databaseName": "MyDatabase",
"collectionName": "MyCollection",
"id" : "{queueTrigger_payload_property}",
"partitionKey": "{queueTrigger_payload_property}",

Here's the JavaScript code:
// Change input document contents using Azure Cosmos DB input binding, using context.bindings.inputDocumentOut
module.exports = function (context) {
context.bindings.inputDocumentOut = context.bindings.inputDocumentIn;
context.bindings.inputDocumentOut.text = "This was updated!";
context.done();
};

Here's the JavaScript code:
module.exports = function (context, req, toDoItem) {
context.log('JavaScript queue trigger function processed work item');
if (!toDoItem)
{
context.log("ToDo item not found");
}
else

The following example shows an Azure Cosmos DB input binding in a function.json file and a JavaScript function that uses the binding. The function retrieves multiple documents specified by a SQL query, using a queue trigger to customize the query parameters.
The queue trigger provides a parameter departmentId
. A queue message of { "departmentId" : "Finance" }
would return all records for the finance department.
Here's the binding data in the function.json file:
{
"name": "documents",
"type": "cosmosDB",
"direction": "in",
"databaseName": "MyDb",
"collectionName": "MyCollection",
"sqlQuery": "SELECT * from c where c.departmentId = {departmentId}",
"connectionStringSetting": "CosmosDBConnection"
}
The configuration section explains these properties.
Here's the JavaScript code:
module.exports = function (context, input) {
var documents = context.bindings.documents;
for (var i = 0; i < documents.length; i++) {
var document = documents[i];
// operate on each document
}
context.done();
};
The following example shows a Cosmos DB input binding in a function.json file and a F# function that uses the binding. The function reads a single document and updates the document's text value.
Here's the binding data in the function.json file:
{
"name": "inputDocument",
"type": "cosmosDB",
"databaseName": "MyDatabase",
"collectionName": "MyCollection",
"id" : "{queueTrigger}",
"connectionStringSetting": "MyAccount_COSMOSDB",
"direction": "in"
}
The configuration section explains these properties.
Here's the F# code:
(* Change input document contents using Azure Cosmos DB input binding *)
open FSharp.Interop.Dynamic
let Run(myQueueItem: string, inputDocument: obj) =
inputDocument?text <- "This has changed."
This example requires a project.json
file that specifies the FSharp.Interop.Dynamic
and Dynamitey
NuGet
dependencies:
{
"frameworks": {
"net46": {
"dependencies": {
"Dynamitey": "1.0.2",
"FSharp.Interop.Dynamic": "3.0.0"
}
}
}
}
To add a project.json
file, see F# package management.
The following example shows a Java function that retrieves a single document. The function is triggered by a HTTP request that uses a query string to specify the ID to look up. That ID is used to retrieve a ToDoItem document from the specified database and collection.
Here's the Java code:
@FunctionName("getItem")
public String cosmosDbQueryById(
@HttpTrigger(name = "req",
methods = {HttpMethod.GET},
authLevel = AuthorizationLevel.ANONYMOUS) Optional<String> dummy,
@CosmosDBInput(name = "database",
databaseName = "ToDoList",
collectionName = "Items",
leaseCollectionName = "",
id = "{Query.id}"
connectionStringSetting = "AzureCosmosDBConnection") Optional<String> item,
final ExecutionContext context
) {
return item.orElse("Not found");
}
In the Java functions runtime library, use the @CosmosDBInput
annotation on function parameters whose value would come from Cosmos DB. This annotation can be used with native Java types, POJOs, or nullable values using Optional.
In C# class libraries, use the CosmosDB attribute.
The attribute's constructor takes the database name and collection name. For information about those settings and other properties that you can configure, see the following configuration section.
The following table explains the binding configuration properties that you set in the function.json file and the CosmosDB
attribute.
function.json property | Attribute property | Description |
---|---|---|
type | Must be set to cosmosDB . |
|
direction | Must be set to in . |
|
name | Name of the binding parameter that represents the document in the function. | |
databaseName | DatabaseName | The database containing the document. |
collectionName | CollectionName | The name of the collection that contains the document. |
id | Id | The ID of the document to retrieve. This property supports binding expressions. Don't set both the id and sqlQuery properties. If you don't set either one, the entire collection is retrieved. |
sqlQuery | SqlQuery | An Azure Cosmos DB SQL query used for retrieving multiple documents. The property supports runtime bindings, as in this example: SELECT * FROM c where c.departmentId = {departmentId} . Don't set both the id and sqlQuery properties. If you don't set either one, the entire collection is retrieved. |
connectionStringSetting | ConnectionStringSetting | The name of the app setting containing your Azure Cosmos DB connection string. |
partitionKey | PartitionKey | Specifies the partition key value for the lookup. May include binding parameters. |
[!INCLUDE app settings to local.settings.json]
In C# and F# functions, when the function exits successfully, any changes made to the input document via named input parameters are automatically persisted.
In JavaScript functions, updates are not made automatically upon function exit. Instead, use context.bindings.<documentName>In
and context.bindings.<documentName>Out
to make updates. See the JavaScript example.
The Azure Cosmos DB output binding lets you write a new document to an Azure Cosmos DB database using the SQL API.
See the language-specific examples:
See also the input example that uses DocumentClient
.
This section contains the following examples:
- Queue trigger, write one doc
- Queue trigger, write docs using IAsyncCollector
The examples refer to a simple ToDoItem
type:
namespace CosmosDBSamplesV2
{
public class ToDoItem
{
public string Id { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
}
}
The following example shows a C# function that adds a document to a database, using data provided in message from Queue storage.

The following example shows an Azure Cosmos DB output binding in a function.json file and a C# script function that uses the binding. The function uses a queue input binding for a queue that receives JSON in the following format:
{
"name": "John Henry",
"employeeId": "123456",
"address": "A town nearby"
}
The function creates Azure Cosmos DB documents in the following format for each record:
{
"id": "John Henry-123456",
"name": "John Henry",
"employeeId": "123456",
"address": "A town nearby"
}

The following example shows a Java function that adds a document to a database with data from a message in Queue storage.
@FunctionName("getItem")
@CosmosDBOutput(name = "database", databaseName = "ToDoList", collectionName = "Items", connectionStringSetting = "AzureCosmosDBConnection")
public String cosmosDbQueryById(
@QueueTrigger(name = "msg", queueName = "myqueue-items", connection = "AzureWebJobsStorage") String message,
final ExecutionContext context
) {
return "{ id: " + System.currentTimeMillis() + ", Description: " + message + " }";
}
In the Java functions runtime library, use the @CosmosDBOutput
annotation on parameters that will be written to Cosmos DB. The annotation parameter type should be OutputBinding, where T is either a native Java type or a POJO.
In C# class libraries, use the CosmosDB attribute.
The attribute's constructor takes the database name and collection name. For information about those settings and other properties that you can configure, see Output - configuration. Here's a CosmosDB
attribute example in a method signature:
[FunctionName("QueueToDocDB")]
public static void Run(
[QueueTrigger("myqueue-items", Connection = "AzureWebJobsStorage")] string myQueueItem,
[CosmosDB("ToDoList", "Items", Id = "id", ConnectionStringSetting = "myCosmosDB")] out dynamic document)
{
...
}
For a complete example, see Output - C# example.
The following table explains the binding configuration properties that you set in the function.json file and the CosmosDB
attribute.
function.json property | Attribute property | Description |
---|---|---|
type | Must be set to cosmosDB . |
|
direction | Must be set to out . |
|
name | Name of the binding parameter that represents the document in the function. | |
databaseName | DatabaseName | The database containing the collection where the document is created. |
collectionName | CollectionName | The name of the collection where the document is created. |
createIfNotExists | CreateIfNotExists | A boolean value to indicate whether the collection is created when it doesn't exist. The default is false because new collections are created with reserved throughput, which has cost implications. For more information, see the pricing page. |
partitionKey | PartitionKey | When CreateIfNotExists is true, defines the partition key path for the created collection. |
collectionThroughput | CollectionThroughput | When CreateIfNotExists is true, defines the throughput of the created collection. |
connectionStringSetting | ConnectionStringSetting | The name of the app setting containing your Azure Cosmos DB connection string. |
[!INCLUDE app settings to local.settings.json]
By default, when you write to the output parameter in your function, a document is created in your database. This document has an automatically generated GUID as the document ID. You can specify the document ID of the output document by specifying the id
property in the JSON object passed to the output parameter.
Note
When you specify the ID of an existing document, it gets overwritten by the new output document.
