Azure Functions Learning Playground

I just want to take a look into what Azure Functions can do an refresh my hands-on experience :)

Running the solution

Prerequisites

1. Visual Studio 2017 (or if want you can try out Visual Studio 2019 Preview)
   1. Make sure you have the Azure Development workload installed
   2. And also the .NET Core cross-platform development workload
2. .NET Core 2.1 SDK
3. An Azure Subscription (Get a free Azure Trial Subscription)

Locally

Open the solution in Visual Studio. Add a new file to the FunctionsPlayground project and name it local.settings.json. Paste in this sample content, and adjust it accordingly for your preferences and environment:

{
  "IsEncrypted": false,
  "Values": {
	"AzureWebJobsDashboard": "UseDevelopmentStorage=true",
	"AzureWebJobsStorage": "UseDevelopmentStorage=true",
	"WEBSITE_CONTENTAZUREFILECONNECTIONSTRING": "UseDevelopmentStorage=true",    
	"FUNCTIONS_EXTENSION_VERSION": "~2",
	"WEBSITE_NODE_DEFAULT_VERSION": "8.11.1",
	"FUNCTIONS_WORKER_RUNTIME": "dotnet",
	"AzureWebJobsSecretStorageType": "files" // temporary fix required for Azure Storage Emulator 5.8.0.0 and Azure Functions latest SDK.
  },
  "ConnectionStrings": {}
}
