I need to read from a JSON configuration file in Azure Function. Is there a way to refer to the file without hard-coding any paths(assuming it's in same directory as the code).

The solution in another answer was something like:

string configuration = string.IsNullOrEmpty(configurationFile) ? "" : File.ReadAllText(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("HOME") + @"\site\wwwroot\functionname\filename);

Is there a better way to get this path, or read JSON configuration in general for Azure Function?

Currently, the solution you found is the recommended approach, but with the next release, which is starting to roll out today (5/30/2017), we've introduced a feature to enhance this.

You can learn more about it here: https://github.com/Azure/azure-webjobs-sdk-script/wiki/Retrieving-information-about-the-currently-running-function
