How to use ConfigurationBuilder staticly in an Azure Function v2 (core)?












4















While porting an Azure Function from v1 to v2 there is a change in how the configuration manager is used to read the local.settings.json.



Previously, I used the following code to enable redis connection pooling between function instances:



public static class Redis
{
/// <summary>
/// Initializes the REDIS connection.
/// </summary>
private static readonly Lazy<ConnectionMultiplexer> LazyConnection = new Lazy<ConnectionMultiplexer>(() =>
{
return ConnectionMultiplexer.Connect(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["CacheConnection"]);
});

public static IDatabase Database => LazyConnection.Value.GetDatabase();
}


However in v2 the ConfigurationManager is no longer available and we have to use something like:



new ConfigurationBuilder()
.SetBasePath(context.FunctionAppDirectory)
.AddJsonFile("local.settings.json", optional: true, reloadOnChange: true)
.AddEnvironmentVariables()
.Build();


However, because it requires the context which is only available during function runtime we cannot create a static class shared across all functions. Is it possible to read the app.settings.json statically in Azure Functions v2?

          We can use



          var config = new ConfigurationBuilder()
          .AddEnvironmentVariables()
          .Build();
          string cacheConnection = config["CacheConnection"];


          Or simply



          Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("CacheConnection");


          Values in local.settings.json(Also Application settings on Azure) are injected into EnvironmentVariables automatically when function host starts.
