Support app settings even if there's no function app
Some apps have app settings node missing. I think this might be because the app doesn't have a function app. It should be possible to set app settings in all static web apps.

We started hiding it due to this issue: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-azurestaticwebapps/issues/239
You can see if there is no function app, then an error is thrown when you make an API call to retrieve the triggers.
As far as I can tell, if you don't have a function app, the app settings blade just freezes on the portal:
That shouldn't be the case. I just tried it on a free app with no functions. Also a free app that hasn't been deployed to at all. Able to open the configuration blade and add an app setting. Also refreshed to ensure it got saved.
@miwebst can help troubleshoot this.
What's the use case for having app settings with no Function app? Are customers somehow able to access those from the client code or is this more of a consistency thing?
Standard apps can use app settings in auth config without functions. Also useful for setting config before deployment is complete.
Okay, that sounds good. Can you walk me through the scenario for setting auth up and how that should be exposed? My concern is confusing customers about app settings - we've seen people in studies assume app settings were available to the client and I don't want to compound that.

Good point about the confusion. I think we’ll need to solve this within the product somehow. /cc @simonaco
