Here's how you can set it up:

Step 1

Add your json at the root of your repo, example app.settings.json

Step 2

Add the Diretory.Build.targets (.targets is the extension here) file as follows

  
    <_IsFunctionsSdkBuild Condition="$(_FunctionsTaskFramework) != ''">true
    <_FunctionsExtensionsDir>$(TargetDir)
    <_FunctionsExtensionsDir Condition="$(_IsFunctionsSdkBuild) == 'true'">$(_FunctionsExtensionsDir)bin
  

  
    

    
  

  
    

    
  

This will explicitly tell the compiler to include the app.settings.json file when dotnet build is ran and will include said file in a the /bin, allowing your dll's to access it.

Happy coding.
