Azure Functions and precompiled assemblies

In all our Azure Functions that we have created so far, we have written our code in a method named Run in the run.csx. However, there might be some scenarios where you would like to have your own classes and functions run as a start up method hosted on the Azure Functions. In this recipe, you will learn how to integrate your custom class and methods as start ups.
