A .NET library to make it easier to use appsettings sections using [AutoConfig] attributes directly on classes.
You write a configuration type, as you normally would except that you add a [AutoCondig] attribute with a string on top of it.
[AutoConfig("MyConfig")]
public sealed record Configuration
{
public string Name { get; init; }
public bool IsAwesome { get; init; }
}The string is the section name inside your appsettings.json file.
{
"MyConfig": {
"name": "Roger",
"isAwesome": true
}
}In order for your configuration to be injected as an IOptions<T>, you need to call the following method where you configure your application services :
services.AddAutoConfig(configuration);Alternatively, you can also specify which assembly to use :
services.AddAutoConfig(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(), configuration);The latter is more performant because the former will look through all your assemblies looking for anything with the [AutoConfig] attribute on it. It is more convenient but it comes at certain a cost. Use the Assembly overload if performance is a concern.
