How to read appsettings.json from Azure Functions using Azure CLI PowerShell

Question

I am using the Azure CLI to interact with my Azure Functions. I want to be able to read the appsettings.json file that was deployed with the function app. You can see this file if you're using the App Service Editor.

From what I have seen so far, I could use the az functionapp config appsettings set command but that will only read the appsettings on the function app and not the custom appsettings.json file.

How would one go in accomplishing this?

Have you try my solution? Any doubts about that?

Although I don't recommend doing this on Azure, if you really want to know, I think this should meet your requirements:

Get the content:

$json = Get-Content 'appsettings.json' | Out-String | ConvertFrom-Json

Show the content:

$json

Add the value:

$json | Add-Member -Type NoteProperty -Name 'Key' -Value 'Value'
$json | ConvertTo-Json | Set-Content 'appsettings.json'
