I think I understand the function now, but I don't think the user journey is good enough in the Portal to merge this right now.

There are several other functions with complex inputs beyond a URL where the experience is poor.

We need a help text to be displayed in the UI, at the very least a link out to the originating repo's README. cc @burtonr

I agree. I plan to get some more work done to this function in the future ( I'm unavailable at the moment).

Besides changing the function, I see two ways that the Portal could be improved to make complex functions more available:

• Set a "request template" in the portal. This could be configured in the yaml, and show up when the input box is empty or with a button.
• A tool to upload and encode files into a json for image-related functions.

Shall we discuss this in Slack ?

Hi @alexellis , I just re-visited this function.
What I did:

• re-tested everything ( including from the UI),
• improved the support for URLs,
• did some minor improvements to the code and docs,
• a few usability improvements,
• migrated from dep to go.mod (still vendoring the only lib used)

Its working fine, and its usable once the user reads the quite simple README.md (witch is necessary to use most functions anyway)
Since this function deals with files, using it in the web UI is not the best experience, but it works. Most people will use it from code or from a terminal.

@auyer the latest master of your function is not passing CI, perhaps we want to get that fixed first

Wow I changed the job name and forgot to change it in the workflow.
I just fixed the CI.
