Create a project using this project template for a full working example or take a look at the gulpfile.js. In summary:

  1. I read my ASP.NET Core config.js file using require('./config.json').
  2. Read the CDN URL and Instrumentation key from there.
  3. Use gulp-replace-task to replace these values in snippet.js
  4. Do the usual uglify etc. to output an application-insights.js file.
