Changing container within a Function App

[jorg-snyders]

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to change the containerId when in a different function.
Right now I have it setup with the RepositoryOptions in the App settings, which works great.
But one of my functions requires me to fetch data from another container, so I would like to be able to switch the containerId in that function.

Is this functionality possible or should I create an entire new function app for that one function?

Thanks!

Hey there,

Yes so we do support this on the RepositoryOptions there is a property called ContainerPerItemType if you set this to true you can then use attributes or config to tell the library which container and partition key to use for each instance of an IItem. If you checkout the samples I think the ServiceTier & the AzureFunctionsTier shows examples of this. See here
