Read values from local.settings.json in VS 2017 Azure Function development

Question

I am writing an Azure function in VS 2017. I need to set up a few custom configuration parameters. I added them in local.settings.json under Values.

{    "IsEncrypted":false,    "Values" : {       "CustomUrl" : "www.google.com",        "Keys": {             "Value1":"1",            "Value2" :"2"        }    } } 

Now, ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["CustomUrl"] returns null.

I'm using:

• .NET Framework 4.7
• Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Functions 1.0.5
• System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager 4.4.0
• Azure.Functions.Cli 1.0.4

Am I missing something?

Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("key")

I was able to read values from local.settings.json using the above line of code.
