Serializing Enum as string using attribute in Azure Functions 3.0

I was able to get this working using the following code

using Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using Newtonsoft.Json.Converters;

[assembly: FunctionsStartup(typeof(Configs.Startup))]

namespace Configs
{
    class Startup : FunctionsStartup
    {
       public override void Configure(IFunctionsHostBuilder builder)
        {
            builder.Services.AddMvcCore().AddNewtonsoftJson(x =>
            {
                x.SerializerSettings.Converters.Add(new StringEnumConverter());
            });
        }
    }
}

This was in a netcoreapp3.1 on Azure Functions Core Tools (3.0.2534 Commit hash: bc1e9efa8fa78dd1a138dd1ac1ebef97aac8d78e) and Function Runtime Version: 3.0.13353.0 with the following packages:

<PackageReference Include="AsyncEnumerator" Version="4.0.2" />
<PackageReference Include="AzureFunctions.Autofac" Version="4.0.0" />
<PackageReference Include="CsvHelper" Version="15.0.5" />
<PackageReference Include="Dapper" Version="2.0.35" />
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.NewtonsoftJson" Version="3.1.4" />
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Extensions" Version="1.0.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Functions" Version="3.0.7" />
<PackageReference Include="System.Data.SqlClient" Version="4.8.1" />

Hopefully this helps someone.

I pushed up an example repo here: https://github.com/rawrspace/string-enum-example

EDIT: I was using this again today with the same setup and using [JsonConverter(typeof(StringEnumConverter))] worked perfectly fine. I am not sure if an update recently happened but I will leave the above solution just in case.

I also ran into serialization issues with a .NET Core 3.1 Function App. I was recommended to use this application setting as a temporary workaround:

"FUNCTIONS_V2_COMPATIBILITY_MODE": true

This solved my issue.
