How do I set json file(json file's path) to a value in Azure App settings?

Question

How do I set json file(json file's path) to a value in Azure App settings?
I am adding Firebase SDK to the server.
I defined "/my-json-file.json" as GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS key's value.

Because "/" means "\site\wwwroot" (root directory).
But it didn't worked. I define encironment variable in my desktop,
so i checked completely in local environment.
I have to make it work at the production, test, etc environment too.
Is there any information about this?

• To set JSON content type for key-values, we need to add the JSON values in Azure App Configuration => Configuration Explorer Section.

Check the below workaround for creating and consuming JSON key-values

In Azure Portal => App Configurations => Create

• Make sure you have a valid JSON content type. I have added application/json content type.

We can create JSON key-values from Azure portal, Azure CLI or even you can create a json file and import values.

Here I have created from portal => App Configuration => Configuration Explorer

Consume JSON values in WebApp

Create ASP. Net Core App, navigate to the project root directory and run the below command to add the UserSecretID

dotnet user-secrets init

Install the Microsoft.Azure.AppConfiguration.AspNetCore NuGet Package

My Program.cs

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
var connectionString = builder.Configuration.GetConnectionString("AppConfig");
builder.Host.ConfigureAppConfiguration(builder =>
{    
    builder.AddAzureAppConfiguration(connectionString);
})
            .ConfigureServices(services =>
            {
                services.AddControllersWithViews();
            });

var app = builder.Build();

if (!app.Environment.IsDevelopment())
{
    app.UseExceptionHandler("/Home/Error");
}
app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseRouting();
app.UseAuthorization();
app.MapControllerRoute(
    name: "default",
    pattern: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
app.Run();

• Now we need to display the values which we have stored in Azure App Configuration

My Index.html of Home Controller

@{
    ViewData["Title"] = "Home Page";
}
@using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration
@inject IConfiguration Configuration
<div class="text-center">
    <h1 class="display-4">Welcome</h1>
    <p>Learn about <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/aspnet/core">building Web apps with ASP.NET Core</a>.</p>
</div>
<style>
    body {
        background-color: @Configuration["Settings:BackgroundColor"]
    }

    h1 {
        color: @Configuration["Settings:FontColor"];
        font-size: @Configuration["Settings:FontSize"]px;
    }
</style>

<h1>@Configuration["Settings:Message"]</h1>

I have set Background color as yellow in JSON values, you can see it is applied.

Output:

Refer the official MSDoc for binding hierarchical configuration data.
