EF Core 2.0 connection string in Azure Functions .NET Core

Question

I\'m using EF core 2.0 in Azure Functions using .net core. I\'m trying to read db ConnectionString from local.settings.json, which is defined:

{
  \"IsEncryp         


        

Answer 1

You can use Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable. The keys are "ConnectionStrings:YourKey"

Assuming your local.settings.json looks like the following:

{
  "IsEncrypted": false,
  "Values": {
    "AzureWebJobsStorage": "UseDevelopmentStorage=true",
    "AzureWebJobsDashboard": "UseDevelopmentStorage=true"
  },
  "ConnectionStrings": {
    "sqldb_connection": "connection_string_here"
  }
}

Use Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("ConnectionStrings:sqldb_connection", EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process); to get the value
