Upload static content into file storage

[JonathanGiles]

Should the maven plugin upload static content, e.g. html files, etc as part of the function upload, such that they can be accessed and returned from function calls? Perhaps this is already supported, but I can't find any documentation about where to place the html files so that they are submitted.

I managed to get this to work by editing the pom.xml file in my project. I added an additional resource as highlighted below:

            <plugin>
                <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>copy-resources</id>
                        <phase>package</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>copy-resources</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <configuration>
                            <overwrite>true</overwrite>
                            <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/azure-functions/${functionAppName}
                            </outputDirectory>
                            <resources>
                                <resource>
                                    <directory>${project.basedir}</directory>
                                    <includes>
                                        <include>host.json</include>
                                        <include>local.settings.json</include>
                                    </includes>
                                </resource>

                                <!-- Relevant addition here -->
                                <resource>
                                    <directory>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources</directory>
                                    <includes>
                                        <include>www/**</include>
                                    </includes>
                                </resource>
                               <!-- end of addition here -->

                            </resources>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>```

It might be beneficial to comment on this in the documentation that you'll prepare, or to consider adding something like this by default.
