Reading local.settings from Azure Functions

My lucky day! Azure functions! Setting up a simple azure function comes with some settings that are located in the local.settings.json. I wanted to read some settings inside the local.settings.json…how can we do this?

This is how your local.settings.json should look like in your azure function app:

{
"IsEncrypted": false,
    "Values": {
        "AzureWebJobsStorage": "UseDevelopmentStorage=true",
        "FUNCTIONS_WORKER_RUNTIME": "dotnet"
        "MyKey": "Test"
    }
}

If you want to read “MyKey” simply use the Environment class:

Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("MyKey")

That’s it! Enjoy!
