Java Azure function Timer Trigger configuration ( for different environments dev/stg/prod )

Question

Hi,

I have Timer trigger:

@FunctionName("Refresh-Data-Daily-Services")public void dailyServices(        @TimerTrigger(                name = "timerInfo",                schedule = "0 0 23 * * *" // At 23:00        ) String timerInfo,        final ExecutionContext context)

but schedule is hardcoded in code. Is it possible to configure it ? So I could set it in Settings/Configuration/Application Settings ? I need different timer triggers for different environments.

Thanks!

Thanks for reaching out to Q&A forum.

Yes. You can set the expression in an app setting and refer to it using % signs. For instance, if you have a setting called CRON_EXPRESSION:

@FunctionName("Refresh-Data-Daily-Services")public void dailyServices( @TimerTrigger( name = "timerInfo", schedule = "%CRON_EXPRESSION%" ) String timerInfo, final ExecutionContext context)
