Storage Queue Connection String Environment variable

Is there an environment variable I can set in my azure app settings to have a function pick up my storage queue connection string? I've been looking over the source and I don't see anything.

But I do see this section (https://github.com/Azure/azure-content-nlnl/blob/master/articles/azure-functions/functions-run-local.md#to-run-locally) about running locally and being able to specify a connection string. I can't ship a connection string in my oss app.

Yes, here are the steps for setting the App Setting for your Function App:

  1. Visit your Function App through the Azure Functions Portal in the browser.
  2. Click on the Function app settings button located on the bottom left.
  3. Click on Configure app settings to load the app settings blade.
  4. Scroll down to the App settings section, and add the key and value pair for your storage queue connection.
  5. Click on the Save button.

son "queueBinding": { "properties": { "queueName": { "type": "string", "description": "The queue name." }, "connection": { "type": "string", "description": "An app setting (or environment variable) with the storage connection string to be used by this binding." } }

After looking at the spec it appear this is possible by just putting the environment variable name for the connection.
