Can we use
Azure Static Web AppwithoutGitHubto host my html files, LikeAzure Blob Storage? Because for a commercial or client projects we need to pay for bothAzure Static Web AppinAzureandGitHub.Thanks for the question ... answered over here, just so we stay in synch dev.to/john_papa/comment/12cbo
If you have other questions ,let us know
I have created a feature request here in issues.
Also a feedback when
Azure Static Web Appreach's GA (General Availability), if possible consider the pricing to be cheap likeGodaddy. So I can recommend it to others. π.is deployment of azure static websites supported via AzureDevOps as well?
Azure Static Web Apps does not support Azure DevOps integration for the preview but we are looking into this. Here is the specific issue to monitor in our repo: github.com/Azure/static-web-apps/i...
so only close integration with Github, but other ways of publish are not possible right now? Any particular reason why it's done this way?
With the first preview iteration for Static Web Apps we prioritized a scoped workflow from source code to global availability and we know GitHub is one of the most common starting points for this journey from code to production. Our vision is to continue to enable this streamlined journey from source code to global availability and consider more starting points that are meaningful to our customers.
thanks
Is there a way to add secrets or environment specific configuration from Azure key vault or Azure key value pair into the html file? Or how would you suggest to handle that?
Specifically config data that we don't wish to store in git, but need it as per environment. In app service we can use the vault, what can be used here?
How would I get the Azure Hero Build Badge
Hi Vamsi Ravi! Could you DM me on Twitter please? @suzannechen . Thanks!
Thanks for reaching out on Twitter and congrats on getting your Azure Heroes Builder Badger!
How do we run our Angular tests in the pipeline before deploy? Is that a supported case?
