Need API and special file handler for appsettings.json

[katemaroney]

I'm trying to write a connection string for .NET Core Web Application with an Empty template in order to add Azure Storage, but the file that it needs to be written to (appsettings.json) doesn't exist. It looks like based on discussion off this related issue, I need an API that will create such a file if it does not exist, and return some kind of a handle to it.

Please let me know if you need more information.

We should a new "special file" for appsettings.json and provide a ISpecialFileProvider that returns it.

@katemaroney This is post 15.5 at the moment, please sync with us if you need it earlier.

It's 15.6 for us. Will that work?

Moving to 15.7 - we're not going to be able to fit this in 15.6
