Functions framework helps in setting up the environment for testing of cloud functions locally
Here is an example

installation

pip install functions-framework

code example:

create a new project and install functions-framework as above, and then create a new python file main.py

def multiply(request):
    request_json = request.get_json()
    num_1 = request_json["num_1"]
    num_2 = request_json["num_2"]
    result = num_1 * num_2
    return (f"The multiplication result is {result}", 200)

run the function on local:

functions-framework --port 8080 --target multiply --signature-type http --source main.py --debug

Test the function
use another terminal and enter the curl command:

curl -X POST \
-H "Content-type:application/json" \
-d  '{"num_1":20, "num_2": 30}' \
-w '\n' \
http://localhost:8080

Response in this new terminal:
