Proper way of using connections string inside Azure Functions

Question

I want to safely use database (sql server) connection string inside my app.

In the examples from Azure github and this thread it is stored inside local.settings.json.

What is the preferred way of getting connection string from local.settings.json file and using it to create connection?

I made an experiment to check out how this settings works.

I added item to Values keys inside local.settings.json

Items from Values section in local.settings.json are loaded to the environment variables so I was able to use it with os.environ dict.

I wish all that was in some Azure Functions Python docs.
