Azure Functions - using appsettings.json

Question

Is it possible to use an appsettings.json file in Azure Functions?

There is documentation for environment variables here..

Answer 1

Only environment variables are supported for app settings and connection strings. appsettings.json is not supported.

However, you can use Azure Resource Manager (ARM) Templates to configure the settings for your Function App. Here's a blog post that describe this in more detail.
