The tooling for Visual Studio 2017 is still under development. You can track the current status in this github issue.

UPDATE: The Preview of Visual Studio 2017 Tools for Azure Functions are now available for download. The blog post explains the tools, requirements, and has a link to the download. Note that it only works in VS 15.3 Preview, not in earlier versions.

Personally, I prefer to develop precompiled functions and publish as a web application.

You can get some helpful intellisense for host.json and function.json by using the json schemas http://json.schemastore.org/function & http://json.schemastore.org/host
