Is there an emulator for Azure App Configuration for local development

Question

Is there an emulator for Azure App Configuration for local development to avoid round trips to Azure during development/debugging for connection strings and appSettings ?

If not, is there a standard approach to achieving this ?

Thanks

@Samuel Alexander Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A. I answered this question in other thread and glad to see that you voted that question. If you have any questions, feel free to add a comment. I would be happy to assist.

Answer from other thread:
Currently there is no local emulator available and unfortunately it is not in our roadmap. Please use Azure/AppConfiguration repo to share feedback directly with our product team (will share feedback internally too).

For local environment/debugging, you can look at File content profile: KVSet option to export data in the app configuration store to a file (GH #552). This would help in testing your app in the local environment. Based on your scenario, you can also import configuration file to App Configuration store using Azure CLI as part of your CI/CD pipeline (check Configuration as Code).

I understand you want to reduce requests to Azure, and please review some of the steps in our Best Practices doc.
