function App configuration settings and files location in storage container

Question

Hi,

question 1:
I am looking to get function app configuration

how is the best practice to get them from code (python/nodejs) sdk ?

question 2:
I see in your documentation they have two ways to deploy function app:

1. local
2. cloud

in this both ways save in different container name
in local way saved in scm-releases, and the cloud way saved in function-releases

we looked on environment variables sometimes exists SCM_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE property but we cannot relay on it
what is the way to get the container name for function app ?

Answer 1

Hi @Bruno Lucas .
I know how to download function app files.
for this I need to know where function app stored in witch container name.
and also for connection to storage account , need also connection string
both of them saved in the image I attached in the question.

my code is interact with function app not a function app deploy
for that I need to know how I get function app environment variables
and the second question is function app code is stored in storage account in containers with a zip file
to get the zip file we need to know witch container name is there.
how I can know where is stored?

@Omer Cohen ,

Thanks for reaching out to Q&A.

Answer for Question -1:
You can read the app settings by following the below approach

import logging
import os
import azure.functions as func

def main(req: func.HttpRequest) -> func.HttpResponse:

# Get the setting named 'myAppSetting'  
my_app_setting_value = os.environ["myAppSetting"]  
logging.info(f'My app setting value:{my_app_setting_value}')

Question - 2:
what is the way to get the container name for function app ?

I think you are trying to get the zip file which contains the source code files. You can read the value of website_run_from_package setting, this SAS url should have the zip file name which present in the Function release container.

I hope this helps!
