+# NodeJS Typescript Function with additional packages
+
+A sample TypeScript function (main.ts) that uses an external npm module referenced by the package.json file. 
+
+Deploy the function straight to Code Engine by running the following command from the source directory 
+
+```bash
+ibmcloud ce fn create -n ts-lorem-node -runtime nodejs-22 --build-source .
+```
+
+For more information follow the official docs -> [Including modules for a Node.js Function](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/codeengine?topic=codeengine-fun-create-repo#function-nodejs-dep-repo)

+ * functions, but it needs to have one dedicated 'main' 
+ * function, which will be called by the code engine runtime
+ * on function's invocation. 
+ * 
+ * The 'main' function has one optional argument, which 
+ * carries all the parameters the function was invoked with.
+ * But in this example the input argument is not used.
